How are the controls on a mouse and keyboard?

Thinking of buying the game, but how are the controls on a keyboard and mouse?

As you could expect. Those games were designed with a controller in mind, not a keyboard.

Playing DMC with a K/M combo is like drinking a beer with a spoon.
It works, but it's needlessly hard and nowhere near as fun as playing with a controller.
First, DMC1 and 2 have fixed/calculated camera angles and therefore the mouse is useless as you can't use it to move the camera. In DMC3 is some very specific moments like bosses you can turn the camera around, but that's about it.

In a nutshell, playing DMC HD Collection on PC is like playing Resident Evil HD Remaster on PC, but way more demanding gameplay wise, with quick dodges and lot of mid-air combos.

I'm not judging, but it's deffinitely not recommended.

The same video over and over and over again. I'm begining to think it's fake.
I never said it was impossible, I said it was not mean for it and far from being as fun as playing it a controller.
I'm sure you can find someone playing Starcraft 2 with a gamepad or even someone playing call of duty with a guitar hero controller, it doesn't mean it's fun.

In any case, for a person playing those games casualy, DMC is way better played with a gamepad.
The problem is a lot a self-titled elitists don't even want to touch gamepads because they don't want to "fall as low as console peasants". The thing is, it has nothing do with the machine. Some games are meant to be played with a K/M, some are meant to be played with a gamepad, and some are meant to be played with a dance mat.
I'm not judging people who want to force K/M with all their games, but in the case of DMC... it's useless to come back here to say we didn't warn you.

lol of course you would think it's fake. You can simply slow down the footage and see which keys he's pressing and when. If you know the keyboard controls you know this is legit. It seems like the PC Japanese players play in favor of keyboard controls and this is also evidenced by the Super Trainer having many keyboard shortcuts that won't be all that convenient to use to you if you play with a gamepad.
No one is arguing keyboard is better for playing, but clearly some people prefer it and they do just fine.

This is not what I meant, I don't need to now the keyboard controls to know this is legit. I mean, why do people keep showing this viideo over and over again? It's the only one on the internet or what?

I know there's more out there but I can't find them again. This is the easiest one to search for on youtube.

Does it work with any controller? I have a speedlink controller and I dont know if it will work. Does anyone else have a same type of controller?

You believe this footage? Quite seriously dude, there is more movement in his hands then in mine when I am typing, and much more then even most MMO games, and that's even taking into account 2h keyboard & kb&m usage swapping between fights.

I don't doubt players can do it with KB&M, but come on now. that footage looks .. off really, not to mention it's supposedly of DMC 4 (which isn't apart of this collection)

Well, let's see. You move the character, and therefore do forward/back moves with WASD keys. You lock on with the space bar. You switch guns/weapons with Q/E. You switch styles with 1234. You move the camera with the arrow keys. Mele attack is I, Style with L, jump with K and shoot with J. And so on.

If you think it looks fake, then try playing like that yourself. You'll understand, even if you play slowly.

Wordt conversion ive ever played with

The controls are all iver keyboard instead of givibg u simple locations lumped together they throw keys all over board
