Hey guys, I currently play DBD just on console and am going to transition to a gaming desktop with a mouse and keyboard. Kinda worried and wanted your opinion; is the transition hard and is it difficult to play the game with these components instead of a controller? or is it the opposite? how long did it take you guys to get used to it

    It's the opposite actually, while you'll probably be out of your element when you switch from a controller to Mouse and Keyboard... you'll find that it's actually a great improvement with how the controls are on Mouse and Keyboard.

    You'll be able to turn faster and sharper, you'll be able to move more articulately and precise, and you'll find that downing Survivors with a mouse and keyboard to be more accurate as Killer and monitoring where to look is quite sharper as well as a Survivor.

    I got used to it after a week of playing DBD when I was new... it's not really that much of a learning curve since you use the mouse to control the camera and the WASD keys to move, the space bar is to break pallets and generators, and some powers utilize the CTRL key as well.

    I'm sure you'll have no issue adjusting, and you might actually find it to be superior as well!
