Does Moonlighter 2 Support Mouse and Keyboard?
Moonlighter 2 has a PC version. Open Settings or Options, choose Controls, and read the keyboard and mouse labels shown on your current build rather than relying on an older screenshot. Press a key or move the mouse to confirm that the on-screen prompts switch to the intended device.

Where to Find Keyboard and Mouse Bindings
The in-game Controls menu is the reliable place to check movement, attack, dodge, interaction, inventory, map, menu, shop, quick-use, and camera actions. Review the layout after a patch or device change, and check each action for a rebinding option before entering a difficult run.

Controller Layouts
Xbox-style, PlayStation, and Nintendo button labels should be treated as separate layouts. A button in the same physical position can have a different printed name, and platform features can affect prompts. Do not translate a generic diagram by position alone; verify the prompt on the actual device and current version.

How to Rebind Controls
Open the Controls menu, select the action you want to change, activate the rebind control, press the new key or button, resolve any conflict the game reports, apply the changes, and test the action in a safe area. If the menu has a Restore Defaults option, note your current changes before using it so you can reverse the reset.

Controller vs Keyboard and Mouse
A controller can make analog movement and repeated combat inputs comfortable, while keyboard and mouse can offer direct menu selection and familiar shortcuts. The better choice depends on combat movement, inventory organization, shop work, desk space, and accessibility. Test both during low-risk play instead of changing immediately before a boss.

Input Not Working
Start with reversible checks: disconnect extra controllers, reconnect the intended device, restart the game, and restore default bindings. On Steam, compare the game's native controller behavior with Steam Input instead of enabling several remappers at once. Update the controller connection or driver only when necessary, and back up configuration files before editing or deleting them.
Wrong Prompts or Double Inputs
Close software that emulates another controller, disconnect duplicate devices, and test one input at a time. Double movement or rapidly changing icons often means two input layers are active together.
A Rebound Key Does Not Save
Apply changes before leaving the menu, check for a conflict warning, and confirm the configuration is writable. If you reset settings, test one new binding first before rebuilding the entire layout.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Does Moonlighter 2 support mouse and keyboard?
Moonlighter 2 has a PC release. Open the in-game Controls menu to confirm the keyboard and mouse bindings and prompt behavior on your current build, because layouts can change by patch and device.
Can you rebind Moonlighter 2 controls?
Check the Controls menu on your platform because rebinding can differ by device and game version. Select an action and look for a change-binding prompt. Apply the change and test it in a safe area; some system or menu actions may remain fixed.
Is a controller or keyboard better?
Neither is universally best. Compare combat movement, inventory work, shop actions, and accessibility, then choose the device that fits those tasks.
How do I fix controls that stop working?
Use only reproduced fixes, starting with reversible steps such as resetting bindings or disconnecting duplicate input devices. Back up files before changing configuration data.
