I have been using a PS4 controller since a few hours into Diablo 4 - wanted a bit better control/targeting precision for my rogue so I am trying to switch back to keyboard and mouse and it's like I am incapable of adapting.

Keyboard and mouse feels so weird, but I know plenty of people prefer it so it can't just be BAD. Anyone have any suggestions how to make keyboard and mouse a little less awkward? Keybindings maybe?

You know what's weird is I have never used the controller for another game on PC, always stuck with keyboard.

Wow, I only now realize that there are people for that it feels weird to play with a keyboard + mouse certain games, for me it is really weird to play shooters with a controller

You're just going to have to adapt to the differences. I felt the same way about playing Diablo 3 with a controller on my buddy's PS4 back when it came out, having only ever played Diablo and Diablo clones with M&KB on PC before.

I switch between pc and my steam deck to play Diablo 4. I like it very much and when I use one or the other I'm very quickly adjusted to the different use.

On PC I move my skills to asdf, potion on g. I used to use the spacebar for forced standstill, but now use it for dodge. This way I can keep my hand on the keyboard for doing most things in the game.

Middle mouse button to open inventory, side button 4 to force and button 5 is for my escape scroll because I play hardcore.

I also made the ingame cursor bigger through settings, so it's easier to track it in busy areas.

First diablo I play with a controller.

It's pretty good. But I get annoyed by the targeting, middle of a big batte?

Let's shoot that barrel off to the side instead of the mobs in front of us!

I don’t think there’s many classes that benefit from mkb over controller. Maybe some of the necro builds?? Back to your question though, I make left click “move only” because I hate attacking mobs when I’m trying to reposition.

I switched to controller recently because of this and not being able to stand in place and attack without moving.

I honestly feel controller is a lot more enjoyable. My only gripe is navigating the inventory but it's such a non issue when your mouse is right there.

maybe it's too late but as with all other games of this type: holding shift let you attack without moving, even when there's no enemy in range

I actually tried this and it didnt work.

I played a lot of similar games and they all have that. I was surprised Diablo didnt. Maybe I disabled it?
