Crimson Moon Controls: PC Keybinds & Remapping
crimson moon controls — Direct answer: Patch 1.0.0.1 added Alpha keyboard-and-mouse remapping and mouse sensitivity controls on PC. Open Settings → Keyboard, select the custom keyboard profile with the left arrow, then rebind available actions; multiple bindings, double-tap assignments, and hold assignments are not included yet.
Controls and Patch 1.0.0.1 status checked September 8, 2026. The patch identifies PC build version 162350 and describes this remapping release as an Alpha implementation.
Crimson Moon default controls
The table combines the core combat and stamina actions published in the current support documentation. Contextual actions still use the prompt shown by the game, so check the active in-game profile if a prompt differs after a patch.
The published Steam Deck column currently lists R1 for both Light and Heavy attacks. This table preserves the documented values instead of substituting an assumed layout.
| Action | Keyboard & mouse | Xbox | PS5 | Steam Deck |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light attack | Left mouse | RB | R1 | R1 |
| Heavy attack | Right mouse | RT | R2 | R1 |
| Weapon Art 1 | X | Y + RT | Triangle + R2 | Y + R2 |
| Weapon Art 2 | Z | Y + LT | Triangle + L2 | Y + L2 |
| Dodge | Shift | B | Circle | B |
| Jump | Spacebar | A | Cross | A |
| Parry | Q | LT | L2 | L2 |
| Sprint | Hold Shift | Hold B | Hold Circle | Hold B |
How to rebind PC controls
Install Patch 1.0.0.1, then open Settings, choose Keyboard, and use the left arrow to select the custom keyboard profile. The Alpha profile lets PC players rebind the available keyboard-and-mouse actions, restore default bindings, and adjust mouse sensitivity.
The remapping announcement applies specifically to keyboard and mouse on PC. Save the selected custom profile and verify the on-screen prompts before entering a mission.
What Patch 1.0.0.1 added
The update is available as PC version 162350. Team Metal released the initial implementation early in response to player feedback while continuing work on a more polished version.
This patch is a focused input update rather than the broader Hotfix 1.0.1. The developer announcement also says camera improvements, progression loss, UI scaling, crashes, and additional controller layout options remain under active work.
Current Alpha keybinding limits
The present custom profile does not support several advanced binding patterns. The developer lists these as future work rather than options hidden elsewhere in the menu.
- No multiple keys assigned to the same action
- No double-tap input assignments
- No hold-input assignments
- The implementation may receive more refinement in a future update
Controller remapping status
Patch 1.0.0.1 confirms keyboard-and-mouse remapping; it does not announce a complete controller-remapping editor. The same update says additional controller layout options are still being worked on.
Use the PS5, Xbox, and Steam Deck mappings above as the currently published core layout. Do not assume the PC custom keyboard profile also changes controller inputs.
What to check after the next patch
Recheck the build number, the custom-profile path, and the three missing binding types whenever a new patch arrives. Controller layout options and UI prompt behavior also need a fresh check because the developer explicitly describes the feature as unfinished.
If a saved keybind behaves differently from the menu, first restore defaults and recreate the custom profile. Treat community workarounds as unverified unless the same behavior appears in current developer notes.
