[Need Help] Adapting from PS4 to PC

[Vahlnir]

As a PS4 player turned PC player, though I will adapt as needed, I...honestly can't imagine playing this game without a controller. My advice? Hook up your PS4 controller or an Xbox controller and continue enjoying the game.

The best advice, if you started playing this game with controller, is to keep doing so. It's weird to switch to keyboard and mouse from one day to another, and the hand gets weird. I play on pc but started with controller, then tried k/m and I just can't lol

This has always baffled me. Don't controllers have only 4 or 5 buttons or so? Never owned a console so maybe I missed when something, but I've never seen a console controller with as many keys as I can get on a computer.

I have a grid of 20 keys, and the use of shift, control, and alt to amp that up to 60, all resting right under my left hand.

Get a Razor Nostromo or Orbweaver.

16 per cross hot bar, 9 hotbars that can be insta switched/cycled. I also use the expanded which instantly pops a half a hot bar for holding both triggers down which gives 8 additional on demand instant buttons 2x (r2 first and l2 is 8 on demand, l2 first and r2 is another 8)
so like 32 commands total without having to switch hotbars its not bad at all

As for OP. at one time i had both versions, and found it easier just to use controller on pc regardless.

I use an ergonomic keyboard, which doesn't place enough keys within reach, so I bought a Koolertron keypad, which is completely programmable. (Any physical key can be anything) I also laid out my bars to match the key layout, except that the Q and F rows are combined into one screen row.
The actual keyboard doesn't have the labels in the pic below. They're just on a Photoshop planning image I made up with each label on a different layer so I can move them around. Also, I have no control or shift combos in regular gameplay.


Lots of changes coming for NIN, so it's going to be a pain coming up with a new arrangement that works well
