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.

Having tried both I prefer controller, but there are some situations/classes where M&K feels more precise. the biggest annoyance for me on M&K is when I'm trying to move and accidentally attack an enemy. A nice change I've found is turning off the toggle in the menu that binds move/interact and I set my basic attack as another key instead of my left click, and then I set left click as move and interact only.

They both have advantages and disadvantages I find. There are different contexts where one is better than the other. Controller is really nice and comfortable for chill sessions, M+K provides better accuracy and control which may or may not matter depending on what you're doing and what class you're playing.

I prefer controller because I play high 90% of the time.
