This is one of the most daunting aspects about transitioning from controller to mnk. It can be akin to paralysis by analysis because you have so many options at your fingertips, and you don't want to make a mistake or hinder your gameplay. Unfortunately, the transition comes with a lot of growing pains and the only way to succeed is with patience and practice. Make sure to prioritize comfort over anything else. If something feels awkward or painful, don't use that keybind just because a top one percent player uses it.
If you have big palms (not necessarily big hands), moving one position over from WASD to ESDF feels really nice and opens up w,q,a,z for actions. I can still reach Shift, Caps, Tab comfortably. If your lefty pinky feels a little crowded, bump over and I promise you will be happy once you acclimate.
You can make class ability and icarus dash both using scroll down by editing the cvar file. If I’m the air it does icarus if on the ground it does class ability.
When you're using a controller but still watch the vid because you support Aztecross. Still it is pretty interesting I do wonder how it feels to play Destiny on a keyboard.
I'm doing the same! Would love to see how destiny feels with a keyboard one day but from my limited experience playing fps games on pc, I know I would be hot garbage.
It's not just the zoom in that helps it's some weapons, including Ace and Crimison, 105 completely covers up the reticle when firing. And any target up close you can see with 105 you can also see with 95. It may be just their feet but you can still see them. That's why some ppl have swapped to 90-95.
Appreciate this Cross. I’m trying to make the switch now. I’m getting better on M&K but it’s still a long way to go until I get the muscle memory like I have on controller
Also weapons like crimson and 180 hand cannons are harder to aim at higher fov because the reticle clips into the gun while shooting. Crimson actually feels pretty good on kbm but you have to lower the fov to around 90 which is a pretty big sacrifice to situational awareness.
Hey cross if you use 3 and 2 for your weapons why not just use one of them in "Switch weapon" bind. A tap allows you to swap between your kinetic and energy slot so the 2 key can cover both weapons. The only time can suck is when you have your heavy weapon equipped then it will switch to your kinetic first unless you instinctively double tap the key. Let me know how you feel about it.
i use Q for class ability, G for grenade, V for uncharged melee, F for charged melee, Alt for air movement, middle mouse for finisher and mouse thumb for super
What perfect timing. I’ve had to ship my PS5 with my household stuff as I move from overseas back to Texas, so I’m playing on PC for now and I so NEED this
Because of you in some raid video a while back, I also swap the bindings for primary and special. Drove me crazy panic switching to the wrong one. Nice one
Left cntrl, reload. Scroll-up, melee; Scroll-down, class ability; forward mouse side button, sprint; Back mouseside button, swap weapons; Space, jump. Shift, crouch; Super, Q; Interact, F; grenade, alt. I have no button to awkward to hit while still keeping my hands on WASD. Also, I have many if my keycaps sideways, reversed, o-ringed, or even swapped out for making certain button combinations easy. For instance, on my WASDs, the highest point on my keep-caps slope were all in between eachother, by reversing S, and rotating D to the left and A to the right. Making it so strafing is just a matter of rolling my fingertips.
I use 'Q' to swap weapons - which swaps between Primary/Special and then F to pull heavy weapon. Charged melee BACK Mouse, Uncharged = Front Mouse (easy to mash), Finisher is CLICK MOUSE WHEEL.
I learned from Cammy to put my sprint button as Q and my crouch button as Shift and that made a huge difference for me coming from sprint = shift and mouse 5 = crouch because I noticed my shot would get thrown off by trying to slide into a gunfight using the same hand to shoot as I was using to slide.
@@saintnut8899 I have tendinitis in my left pinky finger from a football injury so control isn't mapped for that reason. Reaching for it constantly isn't possible for my situation.
@@FrostTyler that makes sense. Q for sprint and Shift for crouch felt strange, and binding C can be hard because you probably have it bound to something else since D2 has so many functions.
q for sprint sounds really comfortable. I have shift for sprint currently and it can get tiresome after long gaming sessions, my poor pinky gets sore haha.
FYI - 4 sensitivity at 800 DPI = 43.3 CM for a 360 turn. Equivalent to 17.05 inches. That's 3 inches more than what I'm set up at right now. I'm a fan of the low sensitivity. I may drop it more and try it out.
Thank you for this. I just started playing on PC 2 days ago and I’m trying to figure out what keybinds work for me. I think I’m going to use some of these and see how they work for me!
My super is H. I think that throws most people off cause they're like "what you just never use your super Super?" I set it to that for the same reason you moved yours around: kept hitting it by accident. But I can consciously press H no problem when I need it. My sensitivity is also pretty weird lately. I use 1 in-game sensitivity, but 2600-3200 (usually 3000) DPI, and an ADS modifier of 0.6. I've gotten pretty good at what I call "reverse quick-scoping" where I'll be aimed down sights at one target, then briefly come out of ADS to whip around to another target and continue aiming and shooting. Grenade, melee/block, class ability, charged melee, reload are all bound to buttons on the side of my mouse. Scroll up for kinetic, down for energy, middle mouse button for power. I can't remember if I have Sprint/Crouch flipped in D2 cause it seems like every other game does it different but, CTRL for *hold crouch* and SHIFT for sprint.
My biggest tip is just experiment like hell. My controller keybinds are all over the place but I feel super freaking comfortable with them. I'm still experimenting with mnk which is where all these kinds of videos really help because they give you ideas of what you could do.
It's not slower necessarily. Your screen is a flattening of usually a 103 degree FoV, which is an arc of a circle. When you zoom in, FoV reduces and if the reticle is moving at the same speed as hip relative to the arc size, then 1.0 will not be an equal visual screen movement. You cannot get it perfect, but there is a formula in games that can calculate what ADS sense ratio you should have if you want to optimize 1:1 visual screenspace motion to your non-zoomed status at varying points. Usually, it is best to solve the formula as input approaches 0, as this means that tracking and slow movements will be closer to parity with hip the slower and more intentional aiming is. But you can also optimize to certain expected recoils values, or target sizes and expect deviation from center screen. For 1.2-1.3 zoom weapons I believe the solution for lim->0 for the equation just so happens to be .8. The equation can be found on Comp overwatch sub discussing widowmaker, and it uses trigonometry.
I pretty much use the default controls, except for my mouse. My mouse is one of those mmo rpg things in where there are 12 buttons on the left side of the mouse. The buttons are bound to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = from the keyboard. 1, 2 and 3 on the mouse are bound to 1, 2, and 3 on the keyboard and are my kinetic, energy then power weapons. Then 4, 5, and 6 on the mouse are bound to 4, 5 and 6 on the keyboard and they are toggle crouch, air move, and class ability. 8 and 9 on the mouse is 8 and 9 on the keyboard and the are finisher and sword block. 7, 10, 11, and 12 on the mouse are 7, 0, -, and = on the keyboard and they are emotes because I didn't know what else to do with those.
It might be worth mentioning if you stand or sit to play, by your movements it appears that you stand but to others they might not notice or realize it matters but I imagine that standing vs sitting can drastically change how you use a mouse. Like if you're sitting then depending on the chair's arm rests or height it might change how you can move your arms so people may prefer flicking with a higher sensitivity while if you're standing you probably have more range of motion to be able to swipe around with a lower sensitivity.
I was a huge advocate for running 105 fov but for the past week or two now I’ve dropped to 92 and while it doesn’t make me look like I’m moving slower. It’s been so much easier to spot enemies and target the head much faster. Fov is always personal preference though.
I finally switched to PC and M&K has been kind of daunting. But after getting a good mouse I'm starting to feel comfortable. I bought a Logitech mouse that has five buttons. Three accessible with my thumb and 2 next to my left click. I have the three thumb buttons mapped to reload, class ability and hold crouch. The other two as melee and grenade. I did make Alt the interaction button however. Good recommendation.
I grew up playing on Controller so jump was always the A button so I put jump on my side mouse button and then moved interact to my space bar. I know it sounds weird but it works really well for me
@aztecross the 1.0 ads modifier does not work how you think it works. At 1.0 modifier your ads movement is still slower than your hip. To make matters worse different weapons are different here. For example, with hand cannons you can use max ads mod to get close to a 1:1 but even then I think this effected by zoom. For snipers you cannot even get close to 1:1 even at max ads modifier.
All my friends thought I was crazy when I told them what my keybinds were so I feel obliged to comment them since we’re on the topic. I don’t play M&k anymore but when I did: Sprint = shift, Crouch = ctrl, Interact = E, Super = Q, Melee = V, Class ability = T, Grenade = C, Finisher = G, Air move = mouse4. Always used numbers for weapon switching 1 2 and 3. For some reason my fingers would lay on the keyboard in a way where my pointer finger was on W, middle on A, ring on shift, pinky on ctrl
I don't like having melee mapped to any of my mouse buttons. If one finger on my right hand is having to click to shoot, another finger on my right hand is pressing a button to melee (or my right index finger does both if I use middle mouse button as many people do), AND my right hand is moving around the mouse and aim, it seems like my right hand is having to do too much at once. When I am shotgun aping and need to do melee cleanups, I like to click with my right hand to shoot my shotgun, then immediately follow up with a melee using my LEFT index finger. I have melee mapped to F, because melee is usually a panic ability, so I like it to be very close. I could have sworn that F was default, but Super is F by default (amazes me). I can't remember it every being F, but it must be because I switched it the first day I got D2. Seems like F is a common melee key in other shooters, which is why I carried it over to D2. I also leave interact as E. I know it has disadvantages, but it just feels so traditional that I can't bring myself to change it. Which is another thing... I refuse to change my keybinds on the fly. I have ONE keybind config, and I never change it. This became a problem when I started a Warlock and wanted to try out icarus dash. My solution was to just never play Warlock again. I just play my punchy boi 99% of the time and mash my F key.
my side mouse buttons actually got fecked and now all 3 of them have the potential to radically change my DPI XD I'm staying away from binding anything to them anymore. Too bad, it was pretty convenient.
I use a side keyboard and a multi button mouse so mine are all whacked to anyone but me. That being said it’s always worthwhile seeing what others use just for a tip or two.
I've been using Razer Naga Trinity with the MOBA buttons for so long now. All accessible with my thumb 1 is melee 2 is grenade 3 is class ability 4 is run 5 is crouch
My standard for shooters is front thumb (melee), back thumb (slide/toggle crouch), and scroll click (class ability) besides that everything else is the same as Bungie made it if I remember right.
Great video, just wish I knew of a left handed player to see how they have set their keyboard. My movement bindings are all on the number pad since I mouse it in my left.
I have small hands so fat fingering isn't an issue for me. So, super is bound to F, melee is E, crouch/slide is Alt, grenade is Q, I've never needed a primary secondary swap combo so it's still default, my sprint button is the 1st button on my mouse, and class ability is 2nd button on my mouse. Mouse click is universal all air movement, mouse scroll up is jump. Interact is X. These are the binds best for me. There is no "best" keybinds, it's all preference.
I had the same idea with interact but put it on Caps lock instead. I put crouch on Alt since you're either jumping with space bar or crouching. You can manually edit the config files with a text editor and put Air Move + Class Ability to the same button too, but will have to redo it if you change any bindings in game since it will reset.
I mainly play on PS5 now but on PC I always used 1600dpi with 2 in-game sense. Which is the same as 800dpi and 4 in-game. But on really really really slow movements 1600dpi would be more precise. But in practice one would probably never be able to notice it. :D
I have been on the Logitech g903 and that was the mouse that got me off controller. Every single button is populated with a function. I mainly use the keyboard to move and jump while playing.
Would recommend leaving jump bound to scroll wheel even when playing warlock. You can use scroll wheel to activate all your jumps instantly and get big bursts of speed when going up staircases, etc
@@imdavid78 use the 1, 2, 3 keys for the weapons, you're always gonna pull out the right weapon, plus you don't feel like you ever have to rely on something slighty inconsistent
@@pesty4592 the scroll wheel just seems like such a better option though, since you never have to take your fingers off the keys. So you can keep strafing and moving around without hastle.
@@imdavid78 if you have a mouse that allows you to click the wheel side to side (for sidescrolling) you can set "next weapon" and "previous weapon" to something like [ and ] on the keyboard, and bind those on your mouse wheel sidescroll to them. I do that and its an ideal way to switch if you need it
Pay attention to the 3 or so seconds at 0:21. Just burn that statement into your mind. Experimentation is very much encouraged, but it's what works best for you that matters in the end
I think it would be nice if they added a weapon switch feature based on ammo type. For example 2 always goes to the weapon that uses primary ammo and 3 always goes to the weapon that uses special ammo. Makes it so that the slot a weapon resides in doesn’t matter.
I always found sensitivity to be the most variable setting. For you 6 is too high on 800 DPI, meanwhile 6 is pretty much perfect for me, and that's on 1500 DPI.
I just bound my 2 key to swap between primary and energy weapons, I guess it's my version of k.i.s.s. 3 swaps to heavy. I do want to experiment with binds for air move, interact and a few others and will try a couple of things Aztecross is using here though.
I miss my astro controller on console, those back buttons came in handy. Unfortunately, it won't work on ps5:/ Mean able to easily get a Revive and keep shooting is so clutch
I've just build my PC and I have a g pro mouse and a nice keyboard too but I dont use it because I dont know how to slide so I use a controller and don't really understand the hole thing
Not being able to unbind things is killing me right now. I made the mistake of clicking something on the different melees and I cannot get it to go away. I had to switch from account storage to computer storage and edit the file. This game not having a simple unbind option is a joke.
I play both on a 1080p and 144p at 240. 800 feels bad on my 27/1440p. I actually started using 1600 with 2 sensitivity which feels really smooth. Changed my FOV to 95 after watching a shadow video and now my aim is all messed up, lol.
I'm 800 DPI and 10 sens with 0.5 multiplier I'm pretty new to k&m but I'm hitting every shot, I couldn't imagine going slower?? especially not 4 thats crazy :o
Just curious why use the side mouse button for crouch instead of super and CTRL for super instead of crouch? Every other suggestion makes sense to me except this since most other FPS have crouch on CTRL.
This whole time whenever interact would pop up on screen and I saw Cross uses alt, I thought that felt so weird that he must have alt bound to mouse or something.
Just a reminder, play with what you’re comfortable with. Even if that means binding every button to melee
“Solo flawless Trials with all keybindings bound to melee”
Shut up

This is one of the most daunting aspects about transitioning from controller to mnk. It can be akin to paralysis by analysis because you have so many options at your fingertips, and you don't want to make a mistake or hinder your gameplay. Unfortunately, the transition comes with a lot of growing pains and the only way to succeed is with patience and practice. Make sure to prioritize comfort over anything else. If something feels awkward or painful, don't use that keybind just because a top one percent player uses it.
If you have big palms (not necessarily big hands), moving one position over from WASD to ESDF feels really nice and opens up w,q,a,z for actions. I can still reach Shift, Caps, Tab comfortably. If your lefty pinky feels a little crowded, bump over and I promise you will be happy once you acclimate.
I use UHJK because then I can move my keyboard further to the left making it so I have a little more mouse space.
im actually surprised ESDF isnt more widely used because it used to be all the rage back in CS beta and source days

It feels like carpal tunnel in the surgery is horrifically painful
It feels liberating but you gotta go through the adjustment period
Got this from cammy too: mouse scroll up = kinetic weapon, mouse scroll down = energy weapon, wheel click = heavy
been using that for a while but sometimes it doesnt recognize for me.

Tip for people that didn't know: higher fov leads to less visual recoil while lower fov leads to more visual recoil.
It’s very important to find the balance because of zoom levels too
Also weapons like crimson and 180 hand cannons are harder to aim at higher fov because the reticle clips into the gun while shooting. Crimson actually feels pretty good on kbm but you have to lower the fov to around 90 which is a pretty big sacrifice to situational awareness.

My standard for shooters is front thumb (melee), back thumb (slide/toggle crouch), and scroll click (class ability) besides that everything else is the same as Bungie made it if I remember right.
Great video, just wish I knew of a left handed player to see how they have set their keyboard. My movement bindings are all on the number pad since I mouse it in my left.
Having profiles with different keybinds would be nice.
I have small hands so fat fingering isn't an issue for me. So, super is bound to F, melee is E, crouch/slide is Alt, grenade is Q, I've never needed a primary secondary swap combo so it's still default, my sprint button is the 1st button on my mouse, and class ability is 2nd button on my mouse. Mouse click is universal all air movement, mouse scroll up is jump. Interact is X. These are the binds best for me. There is no "best" keybinds, it's all preference.
Ayy love you CROSS
I had the same idea with interact but put it on Caps lock instead. I put crouch on Alt since you're either jumping with space bar or crouching. You can manually edit the config files with a text editor and put Air Move + Class Ability to the same button too, but will have to redo it if you change any bindings in game since it will reset.
I used to have a mouse with 3 buttons but I switched to a mouse that has 12 buttons on the side and let me tell you, it is super good
Me who doesn’t play on MNK: “Interesting.”
I mainly play on PS5 now but on PC I always used 1600dpi with 2 in-game sense. Which is the same as 800dpi and 4 in-game. But on really really really slow movements 1600dpi would be more precise. But in practice one would probably never be able to notice it. :D
My brain is too smooth for m and k
I have been on the Logitech g903 and that was the mouse that got me off controller. Every single button is populated with a function. I mainly use the keyboard to move and jump while playing.
im going to try this ty
Would recommend leaving jump bound to scroll wheel even when playing warlock. You can use scroll wheel to activate all your jumps instantly and get big bursts of speed when going up staircases, etc
how the are you suposed to be able to swap weapons then? everything else is to slow when it comes to actual combat, especially pvp
@@imdavid78 use the 1, 2, 3 keys for the weapons, you're always gonna pull out the right weapon, plus you don't feel like you ever have to rely on something slighty inconsistent
@@pesty4592 the scroll wheel just seems like such a better option though, since you never have to take your fingers off the keys. So you can keep strafing and moving around without hastle.
@@imdavid78 if you have a mouse that allows you to click the wheel side to side (for sidescrolling) you can set "next weapon" and "previous weapon" to something like [ and ] on the keyboard, and bind those on your mouse wheel sidescroll to them. I do that and its an ideal way to switch if you need it
Did he mention his dpi?
Moved on from the 1080ti. Hope you got the hook up on that 3090.
Thank you Cross🙏
Pay attention to the 3 or so seconds at 0:21. Just burn that statement into your mind. Experimentation is very much encouraged, but it's what works best for you that matters in the end
I think it would be nice if they added a weapon switch feature based on ammo type. For example 2 always goes to the weapon that uses primary ammo and 3 always goes to the weapon that uses special ammo. Makes it so that the slot a weapon resides in doesn’t matter.
Left Alt for interact is super based IMO
I always found sensitivity to be the most variable setting. For you 6 is too high on 800 DPI, meanwhile 6 is pretty much perfect for me, and that's on 1500 DPI.
I just bound my 2 key to swap between primary and energy weapons, I guess it's my version of k.i.s.s. 3 swaps to heavy. I do want to experiment with binds for air move, interact and a few others and will try a couple of things Aztecross is using here though.
"we" i KNEW IT!!!! I knew Aztecross was an alien from the planet Noom and inside his human body is millions of little Noomites thriving on earth.
*Write that down write that down!*
I personally find C better for interact since you don't have to bend your thumb under your palm which makes hitting other keys harder.
Remember it depends on personal hand size and the keyboard. Personally I use alt for crouch when I play PC or any shooter really
Very insightful, thanks a 1,000,000 Cross.
Good lord that Titan is THIC
I miss my astro controller on console, those back buttons came in handy. Unfortunately, it won't work on ps5:/
Mean able to easily get a Revive and keep shooting is so clutch
I should challenge cross to my controller set up to see how he does
I've just build my PC and I have a g pro mouse and a nice keyboard too but I dont use it because I dont know how to slide so I use a controller and don't really understand the hole thing
Not being able to unbind things is killing me right now. I made the mistake of clicking something on the different melees and I cannot get it to go away. I had to switch from account storage to computer storage and edit the file. This game not having a simple unbind option is a joke.
I play both on a 1080p and 144p at 240. 800 feels bad on my 27/1440p. I actually started using 1600 with 2 sensitivity which feels really smooth. Changed my FOV to 95 after watching a shadow video and now my aim is all messed up, lol.
I'm 800 DPI and 10 sens with 0.5 multiplier I'm pretty new to k&m but I'm hitting every shot, I couldn't imagine going slower?? especially not 4 thats crazy :o
105 field of view kinda looks like you have a magnifying glass for a head
Alt is the prime interact key
I was hoping for some key bindings
So when I'm crouched and adsing, I can't shoot. Is that intentional?
Why don't you use certain buttons like Q or 1? I feel like those are pretty good and close buttons that you can use
Its a personal preference thing, I use q and think its one of the easiest to access. But I'd rather use b over 1 lol.
@@TheRealNiko fair enough
What settings do you use on controller?
I always find it odd but fascinating seeing how other people play the game. Compared to everyone around me my mouse is actually zooming.
How did you know I was trying to look up your keybinds!?
Just curious why use the side mouse button for crouch instead of super and CTRL for super instead of crouch? Every other suggestion makes sense to me except this since most other FPS have crouch on CTRL.
This whole time whenever interact would pop up on screen and I saw Cross uses alt, I thought that felt so weird that he must have alt bound to mouse or something.
I use X for jump and O for dodge
interact on alt is soo comfortable to use
Random question:
Is the auto rifle Misfit brought back to current light level or is it permanently sunsetted
I thought I was the only one who used scroll wheel down as class ability.
looks like imma use alt and e as interact
I just play with a modded guitar hero controller 🎸 and if I’m feeling spicy, I’ll use the drums
I just use scroll wheel to switch weapons so I can keep the movement without extended my short ass fingers for the number keys lol
Does anybody know what kind of keyboard he’s using?
what’s your current pc mouse sensitivity setting?
In windows
What pc build you running?
What mouse do you use?
