AZERTY keyboard bindings.
Controller bindings.
- 360 button prompts are given if controller is present. Unplug or disable controllers if playing with mouse and keyboard. Similarly, additional joysticks etc. will prevent normal controller functionality, so unplug or disable extras if you wish to use a controller.
Keyboard bindings and mouse sensitivity can be changed via KidInput.ini or DefaultInput.ini found in Steam\steamapps\common\KillerIsDead\KidGame\Config. You should be able to change controller bindings there as well. This guide uses DefaultInput.ini: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=326313177
