For Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition players, this guide provides a decent base Keyboard & Mouse settings for more comfortable play. Adjust as you see fit.
For me, the game is perfectly fine on Keyboard & Mouse so these might also work for you.
I recommend configuring the Menus section first so it’s easier to navigate and then changing the rest.

Known issues
Assigning Mouse Button 2 (the other button under the thumb) is breaking keyboard controls. Doing so prevents the Interact key and many others from working. Remember this if you’re customizing controls.
That’s all we are sharing today in Nioh 2 Recommended Keyboard & Mouse Settings, if you have anything to add, please feel free to leave a comment below, and we’ll see you soon.
