Keyboard and Mouse ok? Or a controller must?

[indirect]

Is the controller a MUST have for this game? I have an xbox controller or PS5 to hook up, but sometimes I'm just lazy and wanna use my KBM lol

Would also like to know peoples opinion on this.

nah, i play with kbm and its honestly fine. spells are 1-4, and scroll for more slots. my only complaints are with mounts/brooms, when flying faster (shift) it can be difficult to descend at the same time (ctrl) so i just changed the keybindings. thats about the only issue ive noticed so far

KB+M should be fine.

Its really meant for controller ay. Honestly the controls on KB+M make the game harder lol, well for me anyway and that's saying something since i actually prefer KB+M for games. Here's pros and cons..

Controller. Accessing the menu, map, the UI in general is slow i find it kind of annoying. For me it accentuates how clunky the UI is. Always hated controller cursors. General moving around and combat is much easier, dodging and rolling, deflecting is all very easy. Flying on the broom is easier as well. Though i don't know why they put ascend/descend on the right stick that also shares the camera control, whilst having just left and right on the left stick. To me that just feels weird.

KB+M. Combat is definitely the hardest. You have to use all 5 fingers at once. Definitely takes some getting used to. The reason it's a lot harder is because of swapping spell sets. Unless they're all absolutely nailed to memory you will hit the wrong keys. Like i'm 30 hrs in and i'm still getting new spells so I've found it hard the whole time. But maybe i just suck. Flying is difficult for me also since ascend is *space* and descend is *ctrl*.

TLDR. As a long time KB+M player, I recommend using controller

I actually think a combo of both is best. Controller for game play then mouse for menu navigation. Just my opinion

I play on PC and use a controller but have tinkered with M&K and it works just as fine
