Enshrouded Keybinds and Controller Controls Guide

Before a Flameborn can rebuild Embervale, they need to know which button makes them jump instead of opening a menu in panic. This Enshrouded controls guide covers the default mouse and keyboard layout along with controller inputs.

Enshrouded Controls and Input Options

At the time this guide was written, Enshrouded had not yet launched on Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5. Even so, the PC version includes full controller support, so mouse and keyboard, Xbox controllers, and PlayStation controllers are all usable options.
