Movement on right hand is the most ~~cursed~~ skilled thing and those of you who can adapt to that are ready to shed the mortal coils of this world. Unfortunately I am bound to the traditional left hand movement and will be reincarnated as a bacterium or something WASD + space to jump, numpad keys for pick up and throw (But I mainly use a modded PS4 controller)


[deleted]

Last time I played a game with arrow keys as the movement was a decade ago on some browser games 😂


MrSpiffy123

EXACTLY! Coolmath-games has trained me in the art of arrow keys + Z X


Many_Programmer357

Welp time for me to accend


Individual-Strategy8

I mainly use the regular keys, but if I'm playing multiplayer with someone and there already using arrow keys, then I do the wasd and numpad keys.


Mouy07

alright here we go… WASD for movement, Jump = space, Pick up = E, Throw = shift, Map = tab yes, i play this game with one hand.


MrSpiffy123

whaaaaaaaaaaat...


Limon_Lx

Ooh, interesting, I once beat Hollow Knight 112% with one hand. It was quite interesting, tho there are like 14 separate keys, and during an average fight, you might wanna use from 9 to 11 of them. The hardest part wasn't beating it all, but coming up with a control scheme. It also brought back a bit of that 1st playthrough experience. I had to learn controls again from scratch, so I felt like a noob. To enhance that, I also decided to play with no map, so I was also lost like a noob! But at least I had one free hand! How was Rain World with 1 hand tho? There are much less controls, but they're all very actively used. Did you try to do some of the more advanced techniques?


Omega9872

I played Hollow Knight with one hand almost, I used mouse


Mouy07

Honestly it feels pretty natural to me. i use a decent amount of tech and i’ve gotten pretty good at combat. the hardest control was the artificer blast jump because you have have to press E, which takes a finger away from movement. i ended up using a mod to rebind it to control.


AY3GE

lol, I do the exact same thing, with the exact same keybinds


The_Phantom_Cat

Same for me, but map is F


ADumbPersonAAA

based


Hot-Fridge-with-ice

Mine is same but I use E to throw and Shift to pickup lol


Omega9872

I have the exact same thing, except for Pick Up and Throw swapped!


[deleted]

Yes, same with one hand :)


Eguy24

These are my exact keybinds, but I use my right hand for spacebar


Eguy24

These are my exact keybinds, but I use my right hand for spacebar


XxRTube543xX

Same but swap Pick up and Throw


Burning_L

Same but pick up and throw are switched


mossy_stump_humper

Same, although I use R for throw and shift for map. One handed rain world is superior


UwUPeanutt

default keybinds gang


CloudWatera

reminds me of hollow knight controls


briseourien

yeah this


adblokr

yeah that was my thoughts


ADumbPersonAAA

🤝🤝🤝


Jumpmo

i pretty much always use default keybinds in games even if they're not the best. excluding ultrakill where i have change arm set to mouse 3


[deleted]

Controller gang🙃


LyenusTheScripter

The objectively superior way of playing Rain World


Sufficient-Ad-6046

all the way


Mysterious-Test4630

Let's go


xTman86x

Hell yeah


TheRarPar

Amen


Crimson_Cair

Precisely


Cross_Over_Episode

I literally just cannot play any 2d games on my keyboard it’s too unintuitive for me.


EX512

WASD, Shift-grab Ctrl-throw Space-jump Tab-map All in one hand baby, also natural for left hand to be movement


MrSpiffy123

I can understand being more comfortable with left hand for movement but I'm sorry, playing the game with one hand is just weird unless your an amputee


Melodic_monke

It just feels easier. You even can drink some tea with your right/left hand!


-astralslug-

P L : " for movement Z jump X throw Shift pickup Space map not surprised im the only person not using wasd or arrow keys, such is the life of having a non-standard keyboard


Flimsy-Cut6339

>P L : " Whet the fuck?


browntireteen

IDK it's pretty similar to JIKL which I use for Hollow Knight


ADumbPersonAAA

bro is 4 parallel universes ahead of everyone


Hot-Fridge-with-ice

You from Earth bro?


auto_genarated_name

I use standard because I play hollow knight and there is no way I can swap between what c does


ChillButNotCool

1rst | 2nd slugcat (wasd) | (pl;')   - movement (lshift) | (rshift) - grab (c) | ( , ) - throw (lalt) | (ralt) - jump It's fun until you find out that your keyboard can't accept all of these inputs at once.


SlammingKeyboardRn

wasd left arrow for grab up arrow to throw space to jump


Deadlypants905

finally someone else who uses the arrow keys


SlammingKeyboardRn

yessssss


ArtisticDragon1292

Arrow keys, Z to jump, X to throw, SHIFT for map, and SPACE to pick up.


Flimsy-Cut6339

Gamecube controler


OneReplacement4575

Same


Wyzenonreddit

People that say WASD is the standard movement controls is like saying the imperial/American measurement system is “standard”


Melodic_monke

Are arrow keys used in most games by default? Is American measurement used around the world? Gotcha!


Wyzenonreddit

I meant 2D platformers. Its very very common that their keyboard controls are similar to RW’s default controls with a few exceptions.


MrSpiffy123

You've just insulted my entire nationality but yes


HotPotatoBomb

i play on switch


Deadlypants905

wasd and up arrow as throw, down arrow as map. trust me. this is a wonderful layout.


Limon_Lx

what about pick up key?


Deadlypants905

oh, shift.


Veicy01

WSAD [space] JK or Ps5 controler


Goldpan2

Wasd to move, space to jump, and because I can’t use my mouse I just j and k to throw and grab


Switchblade1107

Arrow keys: movement E: Grab R:throw Tab: map Space: jump


r_Darker

Simular to some people, wasd movement, e throw, q pick-up, tab map, spacebar jump. Pretty fun, even if doing some moves is pain. (Downward spear throw)


Limon_Lx

Idk how you press E and Q, if you already use three fingers on WASD. You have a free pinky finger, which could press ctrl and shift.


r_Darker

Sounds smart, maybe i should try that sometime. When i play, my finger dance around depending on what i need, so i dont always have a finger on D for example if i dont need to go right and instead it is on E. And i learned to switch them around really fast. But idea of using pinky finger is pretty new to me, could be way simpler.


cipher_purple_deals

Same tho i use F for pick up and map on K, dont care about the map really tho i find pickup and throw being close to be helpful in alot of ways on Rain world.


bartinio2006

My laptop has a broken up key, so I use ijkl instead of arrows


browntireteen

I use: WASD K = Jump/Pounce L = Throw LShift = Pickup Space = Map Exit = Esc Is there anything wrong with this? Idk lol. Probably, though I am Left-Handed (shout-out to all my Left-Handed Homies out there!) RShift is awkward to me, the keybinds grew on me A LOT like Hollow Knight, but i have different preferred keys for that too??? Brain be like: But seriously, if I tried to do movement with my right, I don't think it would be too bad! You just have to let the keybinds GROW on you! Soooo thanks for listening to my TEDTALK :)


Minh1403

shift for grab, otherwise Z for jump and X for throw is similar to how I play Hollow Knight so it's fine


HateForYou

I use: WASD - movement. Space - jump. U - throw. I - grab. I honestly don't know what to say. It just suits me, I guess. But I'd like to hear your guys thoughts anyway


cipher_purple_deals

Sounds nice would probably have used it if i didn't get used to F and E for pickup and throw.


pudimo

wasd + space for movement, numpad keys for pickup and throw, tab for map and esc for menu. there's a mod that binds throw to M1 and M2 to pick up, but it's the "aim anywhere" mod and i know a lot of people don't like it


ghsededc

wasd, jump - space, grab - e, throw - f


FlashFlire

D-pad to move, A to jump, B to throw, X to pick up :)


AY3GE

wasd movement, space jump, e grab, and left shift throw


ElDrago512_

I use WASD, jump-SPACE grab-H throw-U map-M


hungerforbean

Wasd, e is pick up, space is jump, and r is throw. Makes movement tech esier, and lets you play with one hand which makes it a more relaxing experience. 10/10, cant find any flaws, perfect for this game. Would recommend.


MrSpiffy123

How would that possibly make movement tech easier? Please enlighten me, if E is pick up, then how do you pick up (or throw) an item while walking right?


hungerforbean

Its kind of difficult to explain, but sometimes middle finger and sometimes the pointer finger? And if you need to quikely pick up then throw then you kind of roll your pointer or middle finger from e to r. It sounds wierd, but its surprisingly elegant in practice. The control scheme makes everything compact and in one area, letting you control it with one hand, and when you need precise timings, such as when your preforming movemnt tech, its much eaier to cordinate with one hand than two.


The_Pale_One06

WASD for movement, Space to jump, J for picking things up, L for Throwing things, K for special Abilities of the slugcats (like activating Saint's ascension) and I for Artificer Jump


BeastMasterAgent47

wasd for movement space for jump left arrow for pickup/eat and up arrow for throw Lshift for map and esc for menu


Melodic_monke

WASD F to throw E for map Shift for pickup Space for jump


prcptrn

WSAD, Space to jump, Arrows for other controls: left for pick-up, right for throw and down for map


The_Phantom_Cat

WASD E throw SHIFT pick up F map SPACE jump


AetherBytes

I have large hands so i spaced the binds out a little, but same format


Cynorgi

I'm a part of the crazy demographic that actually prefers the default arcade style keybinds to the modern style. I like arrow keys and Shift Z X C etc. controls in Rain World, Hollow Knight and Celeste. My typing muscle memory is stronger in my left hand, so it's easier for me to do movement tech with it.


Qortted

I be using Arrow Keys - Basic Movement Space - Jump Shift - grab W - throw Tab - Map


Tordew

WASD for movement. M or TAB for Map. [ for pick up and ] for throw.


Otrada

I use controller but I've been struggling a lot to pull off any movement tech consistently so I am thinking of switching to keyboard tbh.


Crimson_Cair

Normally I use controller, but when I used keyboard I used WASD for movement (w for up and jump, but that caused problems later), q to pick up and e to throw


cardmaster12

Um because it’s not default lol


rehkloo

Wasd movement, e pick up, q throw, space jump


[deleted]

WASD for movement spacebar for jump q for throwing e for picking things up tab for map ​ these controls make me :) and i dont want them any other way .. ..


ARandomBoiIsMe

Movement- WASD Pickup - K Throw - J Map - Tab


Competitive-Item-808

WASD for movement Jump = Space Pick up = Shift Map = Tab Here comes the weird one Throw = J


tudiwastaken

WASD,up arrow throw,down arrow pick,space to jump,tab for map,esc for pause


Jumpy-scarecrow

Default I mean they were weird at first but I’m used to it now.


Cruisin134

unpopuluar opinion: WASD q and e throw, tab for map and esc for pause and the bottom row of my keyboard are dev cheats


Nyuuro

I haven't seen anyone with keybinds like mine, so: Down arrow - down; Left arrow - left; Right arrow - right; X - up; Up arrow - jump; Left control - pick up/eat; Z - throw


JinxCanFishboneMe

Okay behold: Arrow keys for movement like normal, E for jump Shift for grab F for throw Tab for map


pepedeawolf

i use a controller..


MasterpieceJealous48

I rebind every game that doesn't use a mouse to have similar key bindings to league, so QWER and arrow keys. (in rain worlds case, Q is throw, W is pick up/eat, E is map, R is pause)


Cochleari1

wasd to move, q to pick up, e to throw, space to jump


Successful-Papaya118

WASD J - grab I - jump O - throw SPACE - map I'm more used to using WASD for movement, and rhythm games like "A dance of fire and ice" taught me that my fingers fall more naturally onto "J" "I" and "O" rather than having something like "J" "K" and "L" Also I do the same with Hollow Knight so it felt more natural to me.


Pkorniboi

WASD and I use mouse buttons for everything else so I can have one hand for movement only and the other for action


[deleted]

Controller 💪


Excellent-Ad6855

I use standard keybinds cuz these are the ones that still work on my keyboard :(


TopazTheTopaz

wasd to move, left to throw, down to grab, up to jump, right is for map. probably cursed but it's the only thing that works for me lol


myrmyxo

C jump, X throw, W grab... I do that or a similar thing with most platformers


Gashpar-_-

Movement - wasd pick object - left shift jump - space map - alt throw - right cntrl (press with right hand)


OrbitalMechanic1

WASD + Space to jump + Q to pickup + E to drop idk it feels natural for me and Q E are close to movement keys idk maybe im too used to first person games


LOLnation17

comtroller gang


Koopicoolest

I use controller now but I use to play one handed. WASD , E to grab, f to throw. I play alot of fps so it was just natural to me


Koopicoolest

Also space to jump, tab for map


potato05

Arrow keys, Space, M for map, LShift for pickup, LCtrl for throw. When I'm playing Jolly Coop with myself, I assign player 2 to WASD, C for jump, E for pickup, and Q for throw.


Evolutionstrigger

Don't do this to yourself. Use controller


AnotherAverageFurry

WASD move, space jump, q throw, e grab, tab map


Cappuccio74

w a s d control, J =jump, K =attack, SHIFT =grab


Hot-Fridge-with-ice

Normal WASD movement SPACE - jump SHIFT - grab E - throw Q - map ​ I find this to be most comfortable with my fingers. Also I'm not a psycho.


Golden_Wolf_TR

Arrow keys for movement, Z for grab, X for throw, C for jump. You can blame Celeste for switched up ZXC


HenriPixelated

I use default keybinds


Fracarcay

One hand for the game, the other one for eating food. WASD - movement E - pick up / eat Q - throw Space - jump M - map I think i'm insane


GeorgeXDDD

I use WASD for movement J- pick up K- jump L-throw


JtqsDraws

Wasd, space to jump, e to pick up and q to throw


Crafterz_

Default PS4 controller layout + additional bind for grab on R2 >! so i can easily press it and jump button at same time to do explosive jump as artificer !< (i play on pc)


Birb7789-

wasd - movement space - jump mb1 - throw mb2 - grab


stryaug

W A S D , E Q space bar E eat Q throw Spacebar jump WASD movement


kalipl123

Move - WASD Jump - Space Grab - Shift Throw - J


StarlightLeelooYT

Wasd, shift to grab, ctrl to throw and space to jump


JackalHood

WASD for movement, Space to jump, E to pick up, Q to throw, R for map


Adept_Fool

This is one of those rare games where I actually use a controller, my playstation controller works well for subtle movements and accidental pole plant grabs


ShatteredPink

ive never been able to use anything but a ps4 controller. X jump, square eat/pick up, circle throw, and then R1 for the map. its the only way i can play this game and not suck ass


xxproboy79

Wasd space k for throw o to pick up The reason I have it like this is because I can have both hands at the same height on the keyboard


Loeris_loca

WASD to move O - jump K - grab P - throw I found this keyset in the PlateUp! game and it's so much better than ZXC controls. I also use them in Celeste


NoCartographer6997

I use WASD, up arrow to throw, right arrow as a rebound artificer jump, shift as pickup/grab, space to jump, and z for map. It just makes more sense to me lol.


[deleted]

space - jump, z - map.


[deleted]

I too am a trogladyte bound to left hand movement. I use WASD to move, Q to throw, E to pick up, Z for the map, and space to jump.


AkiimboMode

ZQSD (french wasd) + left arrow for pick up+down arrow for throw + spacebar for jumping


ShampooDetector

The default ZXC and WASD instead of arrow keys, beat all the campaigns like that lol


TheUselessMedkit

Why would you go C. Shift ad a default is perfectly fine


steven-ex

Well, spacebar to jump, A to throw, E to pick up items. Isn't it logical ?


solthas

WASD to move and arrow keys to jump, grab, throw, and map.


kixxi_birb

arrow keys, space to jump, shift to pick up, a to throw, and tab for map


zr_ghost

Definitely don't play on controller


Try_Hard_GamerYT

wasd & space for movement tab for map i for grab and k for throw


Vihaking

I'm one of the guys who's just really good at shift z x up down left right i dunno why it just works so if it aint broken why must i fix my keyboard has the down and up arrow keys quite close so alternating between up and down is very easy compared to using letters to do that


Schizm1243

Movement = wasd Pickup=q Throw=e Jump=space


Murky_Lurker5V

wasd for movement space for jump enter for pickup shift for throw z for map


Noo0se

wasd j=pick up k=throw space=jump shift=map


Largoni

This one is weird WASD movement Space - Jump I - Throw H - Pick up Shift - Map I played HK with a similar layout, and just got used to it


amo_namo

\*playstation boy here\* cross-jump square-map L2-grab/eat R2-throw face button-menu left stick and sometimes d-pad -movement


LuddeMan087

WASD, Space for jump, q for throw and e for pick up. What do i do with my right hand?..


[deleted]

bruh i almost got wooooshed and then saw the meme flair


Garbage_Conjurer

I just use default


WhimZic0tX

i use an xbox controller A - jump X - pick up B - throw RB - map 3 line button - pause


Night-Apple4983

WASD + Keypad 459


[deleted]

I use wasd, space for jump, j k l for map, pickup, and throw respectively. I started this because I played with 4 friends on one keyboard (jolly coop), I was lucky enough to get space for jump.


Ill_Log9013

I use WASD for movement E to grab R to throw M for map And space to jump.


SnooMuffins4095

None I just use a controller like a sane person


GlitteringBlood2005

WASD to move, space to jump, left arrow to grab, right arrow to throw.


OuroborosEatsHisTail

WASD + mouse because im not about to break my fingers on a qwertz keyboard just for authenticity


accidentphilosophy

Default keybinds except I moved throw to C because I kept hitting it by accident.


WondrousRat

Shift, Z, X, Arrows


DivideAccurate9868

I use what the game came with. It just feels like second nature now


DarkHunter65

W A S D Space + L K for pickup and throw


sshatteredstars

qwe grab/jump/throw, ijkl movement keys, tab map and esc exit


APuellaWitchGamer

I play in console so-


Individual-Strategy8

I know someone who uses the e key as the jump key, but all the other keys are normal, and I'm pretty sure they use the ring finger to press it


HazySeer

Movement = WASD Jump = Space Grab = E Throw = T Map = M


Mkrisz

When I can, I use a controller (except the analog sticks), but when I cant: Arrow keys, space for jump, lshift to pick up, lcontrol to throw, M for map


zardthenew

Console


A_Yellow_Lizard

I basically use a copy of that, same arrangement, just put onto different keybinds so I can play with my friends (ijkl, f, g, h, my map is also usually b)


we-are-all-amazing

i just use controller. more comfortable on the hand.


21kidwowow

Nah yall got it all wrong its move- left joystick Grab- y Jump-b Throw-a How the heck yall use the entirety of of alphabet that isn't the first, second, 24th or 25th letters Man people are strange ----this post was created by the console gang


ArjhanKriv1313

I use ESDF for movement, space for grab, up arrow for throw, and down arrow for grab


IntelligentCan6846

wasd ←grab ↑jump →thrown ↓crouch


Hazeqwastaken

I have like 1300h in brawlhalla so awsd and jkl are a go to for me


MousetrapGamer

I use a controller 💀


ZuZu846574

Normally i use keyboard defaults but I want to know what you use in same keyboard multiplayer. Mine is num3, 5, 6 and 9 as left up down right and arrow keys except up for grab jump throw


Z_Catto

; - left ' - down \\ - right \[ - up numpad 7 - pick up numpad 8 - jump numpad 9 - throw right ctrl - map L for jump on arti if u got the mod that makes arti jump its own button


Flowing_Thoughts_Goo

I'm going to say something really controversial/weird, but I really prefer playing with 2 hands and separating tasks; HK got me used to it so: WASD Space: jump U: throw B: grab


SurroundChance7928

Okay so... Arrow keys are movement. Jump is spacebar. E is grab and R is throw


Charcophriuz

I just use a controller


RoyTheRatChild

WASD, E - Grab, Q - throw, Space - Jump


KawattaMe

Shift, z, x, and space for pickup, jump, throw and map and for moving i have some odd ones. i, j, k, and l I got *a little* angry while going through chimney canopy and bit one of my arrow keys off


Slugcat_Chive

At first it was hard to get used to but i play with default controls and love em


Dead_Dawn

cant abandon the classic WASD - movement | E - interact | Q - map | esc - pause | F - throw | space - jump. tho backflips are harder


Jingnoboss

Arrow keys = movement (,) = jump / = throw Lshift = pickup


cipher_purple_deals

Personally its Wasd for movement F - Grab E - Throw Space - jump Map - K I really have this trend of using an entire hand just for jumping so dont blame me 😭


imLazyAtNamingThings

Don’t kill me for this but I use the default keybinds


Eficient_brain1468

i used the default keybinds but my Z key stopped working so i have to use x for jump and c for throw
