Overview
Are you a serial keyboard and mouse user like me? Having trouble making this game work with them? Here’s a guide on how to stop the headaches and get yourself a good control scheme! This scheme should let you use even the most finicky weapon sets; like Insect Glaive, Charge Blade, and the Bowguns.
The Key Config
Here’s a screencap of all the key bindings for this control scheme. Click to maximise it!
Other Game Settings & Tweaks
Changing this setting will let you access items quickly by pressing F1–F4 and then pressing a number row key. For example, if you want a whetstone, press F1 then 1 by default!
The default settings for the target lock don’t seem to play very well with mouse movement. Changing the settings to this should make it act more agreeable.
There’s a config.ini in the root folder of Monster Hunter World. There’s not many options here besides some handy binding settings for a controller and a certain setting that lets you adjust how the game emulates a joystick when you move your mouse. If you’re unsatisfied with adjusting the mouse sensitivity in-game, try adjusting this setting to your liking as well!

If you lack side-buttons on your mouse, try binding MB4 inputs to F, and MB5 inputs to Caps Lock.
