Farming Simulator 22 has a lot of controls because it has a lot of jobs. Walking, driving, attaching tools, running harvesters, managing loaders, and opening menus all use different inputs.
This guide lists the default controls for PC keyboard and mouse, Windows controller, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One or Series X/S. Controls can still be changed in the settings menu, which is useful if your hands disagree with the default layout.

The controls below use the default bindings. Actions marked N/A do not have a default binding, but players can assign one manually.
