Keyboard or controller?
Hi SAO-ers, which do you think is better to play this game? Keyboard or controller?
I have seen some screenshots and there are lots of skills in the bar to press, is it possible to press that in controller, and if it is, not troublesome?

How about keyboard? moving camera with JKLI instead of right click mouse is kind of awkward isnt it?

Need your advice before i buy a controller :)

The game was originally designed for controller and it is obvious.

The skillbar doesn't have hotkeys, by the by... so you can't just press 1 or 2 or 3 to trigger those skills on the bar.

I play with k+m and it just take about 5 min to remap^^this whole is was for console crap dosent matter!ur on Pc now and both should work...........which it does.u can controll the camera with the mouse and attack with L mouse button+plus u have a skill bar which u can use for all skill,comand etc like in wow.
TLTR:5min of remaping and its perfectly playable with k+m!!!only minus point:besides attack and camera u cant remap anything to the mouse.

I have a AutoHotKey script that lets you have proper mouse look, toggleable cursor mode and Hotkeys for the Skillbar. It makes popping skills even faster and more accurate than a controller. You don't even need to use lock-on anymore. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/607890/discussions/0/1479857071255376291/?l=english

I use the keyboard and mouse, with fully customized keys to play it. its very easy just use the right mouse button to mouselook the camera and attack in that direction your facing

I press Z to bring up the skill palette, which i can just mouse click everything in a row to use buffs, then press Z again to close the skill pallete (BUG: Using the Fast Step skill and closing the pallete before the animation is finished, would cause your character to unable to attack)

I put my sword skills on the F button, pressing the F button while pressing different directions with WSAD would perform different skill attacks depending on the weapon and how i set it

I use the TAB button to Draw and Put away weapon, and the E button to talk to NPC's and i can access the zone map and world map by pressing M

lmao! calm down bro o.O


As for the OP. Once I started using controllers for PC games I haven't gone back to K+M since, if you are used to k+m, maybe thats better for you. People here mentioned that they have gotten used to K+m controls after a while.

i play this game from my friend's pc and it's hard to control by keyboard. it's weird to play in that position, an awkward hand placement 😭

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
