Anyone tried to switch from controller to keyboard and mouse (Diablo 4) (self.diablo)

I have been using a PS4 controller since a few hours into Diablo 4 - wanted a bit better control/targeting precision for my rogue so I am trying to switch back to keyboard and mouse and it's like I am incapable of adapting.

Keyboard and mouse feels so weird, but I know plenty of people prefer it so it can't just be BAD. Anyone have any suggestions how to make keyboard and mouse a little less awkward? Keybindings maybe?

You know what's weird is I have never used the controller for another game on PC, always stuck with keyboard.

I don’t think there’s many classes that benefit from mkb over controller. Maybe some of the necro builds?? Back to your question though, I make left click “move only” because I hate attacking mobs when I’m trying to reposition.

I switched to controller recently because of this and not being able to stand in place and attack without moving.

I honestly feel controller is a lot more enjoyable. My only gripe is navigating the inventory but it's such a non issue when your mouse is right there.

maybe it's too late but as with all other games of this type: holding shift let you attack without moving, even when there's no enemy in range

I actually tried this and it didnt work.

I played a lot of similar games and they all have that. I was surprised Diablo didnt. Maybe I disabled it?

Could be, there is a setting which allows you to seperate attack/move/interact. But hey, stick to the controller if you like it more^^ It's all about options
