Ever since I heard of this game I kept wondering which input device would be best suited for PC play. A controller or a combination of Mouse + gameboard (G13 or similar).
As I'm unable to access the Beta, I'd like to ask the community for a bit of insight with my decision.
Can blocking and attacking be mapped to other keys (G13 thumb stick)?
Is there a setting for mouse / thumb stick deadzones?
Can the mouse be used just for moving / looking around?
Any form of insight with this would be greatly appreciated.
The general consensus is "better with a controller"
To answer your specific questions:
- Stances (block direction) and attacking can be remapped to any button
- There's no deadzone control - lots of threads asking for it
- Yes, technically, but it'll still control stance during guard mode currently - you'd need to make sure you don't touch the mouse at all once you're in combat, and only grab it again when you want to look around after. I've seen a couple of threads asking to be able to turn off mouse guard completely.
