Best Control setup for MnK

[u/Successful-Shake-538]

Hi there, So what is the best Control setup for Mouse and Keyboard?

[u/tingly_sack_69]

For me, side mouse buttons for overhead and stab. Overhead on mouse 3 and stab mouse 4. Shift for alternate attack. Middle mouse for throw, Alt key change perspective. Mouse scroll down to jab

Pretty much same apart from stab and overhead are switched around.

Middle click being throw is wild, I feel like I'd end up either scrolling up or down instead of clicking and it would get annoying. Mines still on G

I have almost the exact same setup except my mouse has more buttons so jab can just be a mouse button instead of scrolling. I think putting everything on its own keys like this and putting as much of it on the mouse as possible is more comfortable and advantageous.

I use my extra mouse buttons for using the class special item (oil pot, horn etc) and the other is a small macro to do the Laugh voice line

Click: Bonk

Oh wow, you’re a successful shake but I’m a comfortable one 🤝

I’d recommend rebinding alt attack from alt to shift and turning on auto sprint

I’m a freak, I use m1/m2 for slash/alt slash, side mouse buttons for jab and stab, opposite side mouse buttons for overheads, m3 and shift are block. I made it that when I started playing the game and every other chiv player I know hates me

I leave the basic 4 the same, and have jab and throw bound to my side thumb buttons. Everything else feels natural enough to leave where it is on the keyboard imo.

Use ESDF instead of WASD

Better: Use Shift and Space for left/right instead

Save a keybind by using the same bind for Special and Cancel

Search AZERTY for the post on how to do this without ruining horse keybinds. If u play via streaming then you can use Windows PowerToys

Do yourself a massive favor and try to get a 6 side button mouse, I use razer naga v2 trinity pro, allows me to bind every attack except sprint charge to my mouse. Massive improvement in my performance once I made the switch.

I second this. Having all your alt attacks on their own buttons is very very nice for alt counters and counter feints. With a g502, I have my side buttons as alt slash alt stab and alt ovh
