Build a comfortable layout
Set up Moonlighter 2 controls in a useful order
- Start with movement and dodge so you can reposition without reaching across the keyboard or controller.
- Place primary and special attacks where you can alternate them without losing movement control.
- Test interaction, backpack and shop menus; combat bindings alone do not cover the merchant half of the game.
- Finish with pause, confirm and back, then play one low-risk room before committing to a long run.
Keyboard and mouse
Keep dodge and special attack easy to reach while moving. Test mouse clicks, menu navigation and backpack actions as well as combat.
Controller
Connect one controller before launch and follow the prompts shown on screen. Check that the same device can navigate both combat and shop menus.
Input troubleshooting
Fix common Moonlighter 2 control problems
Start with the active device and in-game prompts, then change one setting and test again.
Controller not detected
Check operating-system or Steam detection, reconnect before launch and retest one Steam Input state at a time.
Prompts do not match
Disconnect extra input devices, restart with only the intended controller and test one Steam Input setting at a time.
A binding no longer works
Open the Controls menu, remove any duplicate binding, restore defaults if needed and add your preferred changes back one at a time.
Use the free PC demo and requirements page to test your device before buying, check the platform list for your version, and compare weapon primary and special mechanics before arranging combat bindings.
