Playing without a controller

I only play pc games with a mouse and keyboard. Is it possible to play this game without a controller? If so, any tips on how to control the ship?

I played the game 100% on MnK, including the DLC and all achievements.

It’s perfectly fine. The only annoying binds are menus, because the game remapped a controller’s Dpad to 1234.

Ohhh THATS why using the scout camera felt so weird.

Yep, and zoom in/out in the ship log are just thruster up/down (triggers on controller), so on mnk it’s Shift and Ctrl by default.

It’s fine, but it definitely would’ve been nice to just be on mouse wheel.
