Learn the actions, then the shortcuts
These are keyboard-and-mouse reference bindings, checked against RSI and community documentation on 14 November 2026. They are not a live export of your controls. Defaults can change, and imported profiles override them. Where sources conflict, we tell you to check the action instead of guessing a key.
Custom bindings stay in this browser and do not change the game. On small screens, swipe the table sideways.

Make a profile you can recover
Open Options → Keybindings, choose your device, then Advanced Controls Customization. Find the action, inspect its current binding and change it there. Review reported conflicts before accepting a new shortcut.
Export a working profile before making a large set of changes. Keep its filename and a note of the patch and devices it belongs to. After an update, compare changed actions before importing someone else’s entire setup. Never reset your only working profile without a backup.
Our suggestion: learn interaction, movement, landing and stopping first. Add industrial or combat shortcuts when you actually start that activity.
