I know Dark Souls is a smash hit. Wondering if I can play it better than I have been while still using a keyboard AND mouse.

I've tried different keyboard layouts, but I am still having a tough time getting a feel. I can't jump for the life of me.

It doesn't help that the combos I find in game are for xbox and not PC.

Let me know what you guys that use your keyboard and mouse have done to arrange your keys to make this game more playable.

TIA!

There's a kb/m mod out there to help make them more usable, but I can't remember the name right now.

I've been searching for that. Got some hits like AutoHotKey

or something. I was hoping there was a simpler way.

The common thing I read about that is give up and get a controller. I haven't tried to know but that's what I always read.

I can't imagine not using a Xbox or PS3 controller for Dark Souls.

Welp, I got the mouse to stop moving the camera. I just can't get it to be the attack and block instrument that I need.

I need to look more closely at the mod.

If tweaking that doesn't work, I am going to try and re-install the game.

And if that doesn't work. Uninstall everything and then get a controller.
