How to remap keybinds in Starfield

Like me, you probably want the best keybinds for more accessible gameplay. To remap keybinds in Starfield, head to settings and select bindings. There, you can change controls and return to defaults anytime (it’s pretty easy if you have time to dissect dozens and dozens of commands).

Best Starfield keybinds for keyboard and mouse

You can easily change controls in Starfield, but there are so many of them it’s better to use the default keybinds. You’ll find out what some controls do in time, as it’s an entirely different experience being on foot and traveling to distant planets, and there are even more commands! On the other hand (pun intended), if you’re lefthanded like me, prepare for keybinding hell. The best solution I found was to put WASD and all commands orbiting around on a numeric keyboard and my gaming mouse. As a lefthander, I had a reload, melee, activate, and power controls on mouse secondary buttons, so it didn’t feel like I was playing button accordion in space.
