The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt PC Controls: A Beginner's Guide

----------------------------------------------

If you're new to The Witcher series like me, navigating the complex controls of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC can be a daunting task. Fear not! In this article, we'll break down everything you need to know about using your controller or keyboard and mouse (K/M) setup for an enjoyable gaming experience.

### Keyboard Controls

* W - Run forward

* A - Turn left

* <----> - Strafing (sideways movement)

* Spacebar: Jump/Parry

* Shift+Spacebar: Roll Dodge

### Mouse Controls (K/M)

Mouse controls are essentially the same as keyboard inputs, but with mouse movements replacing controller analog sticks.

* WASD keys or arrow keys can also be used for movement if you prefer.

* Left click is equivalent to left trigger on a controller

* Right click is right trigger

### Controller Controls (Xbox 360/One/X and PS4)

If you're using a standard Xbox gamepad or DualShock controller, the controls are as follows:

* Up: Run forward

* Down: Crouch/sneak

* <----> : Strafing (sideways movement)

* Left stick left/right: Turn Geralt's head

* Right stick left/ right: Look around

### Modding the Game for More Comfortable Controls

If you find even these default controls too demanding, there are plenty of mods available online that can customize your gameplay experience further. One such mod is 'Default Short Range' which forces Geralt to always use his short range attack unless told otherwise.

For those who prefer a more traditional feel without the hassle of mopping up enemies with melee attacks all day long - here's how you do it:

1. Download the latest version from Nexus Mods or Modding Community.

2. Extract the contents into your Witcher III folder (usually C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\TheWitcher3WildHunt on Steam).

3. Go to Settings > Controls and remap any keys you don't like.

By following these simple steps, even complete novices can enjoy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with ease!
