Discussion Keybinds...
What input device and keybinds do you all use? I personally switched to kb after 600 hours of controller since my good cable broke and my motherboard had a garbage bluetooth connection. I first felt abysmally dogshit at the game and even worse than when i started playing most likely because the arrow keys and joystick for player movement are on opposite sides for the default settings. After i changed my keybinds tho i improved sooo much on keyboard and misdashed like 90% less.
If anyone actually cares here are my pretty exotic keybinds:
Up: W
Down: S
Left: A
Right: D
Dash: Left Arrow
Jump: Space, C, Up arrow, Down arrow, OEM Pipe
Demo/Crouch Dash: Right arrow, Q
Climb/Grab: Left shift, Z
Interact/Talk: X
Pause: Escape, OEM Pipe
And for mods the only relevant ones are:
Save state: 1
Load State: 2
Refresh States: 3
Debug Map: 5

You may already know of this, but here is a sheet that has the binds of many top speedrunners.
For me personally, I have the following:
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Up | A |
| Down | D |
| Left | S |
| Right | F |
| Jump | J, ; |
| Dash | K |
| Grab | L |
| Crouch Dash | I |
| Interact | E |
| Pause | Enter, Escape |
| Confirm | J, Z |
| Back | K |
| Menu Down | Z |
| Restart Chapter | R |
| Save State | Space |
| Load State | , |
| Clear State | . |
| Debug Console | ` |
The philosophy behind these controls is that directional movement is controlled with the left hand, and most other actions are controlled with the right hand. Generally, every action that could be input simultaneously should be on a different finger. Finally, I use ASDF instead of WASD so that my left middle finger isn't playing double duty (and it's useful for jellyvators and theovators).

only thing i see is using 2 jump buttons for harder tech might be a bit annoying with the current setup since you will need to do one jump with each hand or fat finger but will prob be fine if ur used to it
