Overview
A decent base Keyboard & Mouse settings for more comfortable play. Adjust as you see fit.
Overview
These are the adjusted settings from the first game I’ve been using.

For me, the game is perfectly fine on Keyboard & Mouse so these might also work for you.
If this config doesn’t really work for you, try to customize it. The purpose of this guide is to provide a common base for further adjustments.
I recommend configuring the Menus section first so it’s easier to navigate and then changing the rest.

Known issues
- Using the Switch Mode in the Gesture Menu will mess up the controls completely, making the game unplayable. Restarting the game is the only way to fix this.
- Switch Guardian Spirits combination shortcut will not work when pressing just T – the game expects F + T, in that order. No known workarounds at this time, seems like a bug Koei needs to fix.
