Update: Koei has acknowledged the need for mouse support and will update it in upcoming patch, this guide will remain for people… well, like to play with keyboard only because why not?
 
 
Note: This layout is just for example/reference purpose, not necessarily the best optimal layout, thus you might need to tweak it to fit your playstyle and comfort.
 
 
Will update if I find a better layout.
 
 

The Layout

Controller Scheme used: Classic
 
 
Start = Key 2 = Open Map
 
Select = Key 1 = Open Main Game Menu
 
 
Button A = key E = Accept / Dodge Attack
 
Button B = key F = Cancel / Open Door / Action
 
Button X = key TAB = Open Camera Menu
 
Button Y = key N (or U or H) = Enter Aim Mode
 
 
Left Analog Stick = WASD / Movement Control
 
Right Analog Stick = IJKL / Camera Control
 
 
Left Analog Button (L3) = key X / Enter Photo Mode (also equals TAB + Q by this point)
 
Right Analog Button (R3) = key M = ???
 
 
Button LB = key Q = Tilt Camera Box Left (Aim Mode) / Parallel Walk Mode
 
Button RB = key O = Tilt Camera Box Right (Aim Mode)
 
 
Right Trigger = key SPACE = Take Camera Shot / Grab Items (Hold)
 
Left Trigger = key LSHIFT = Sprint (Hold) / Reset Camera / Lock-on
 
 
D-Pad Left = key Z = Switch Film Type (Left) / Photo Mode Menu Left
 
D-Pad Right = key C = Switch Film Type (Right) / Photo Mode Menu Down
 
D-Pad Up = key 3 = Photo Mode Menu Up
 
D-Pad Down = key 4 = Photo Mode Menu Down
 
 
———————————————-
 
You might need AutoHotkey to duplicate keys for convenient use, for example make LCTRL = key Q, which is responsible for Parallel Walk said above => Holding LCTRL will allow you to Parallel Walk with ease.
 
 
BONUS: you can try to make Mouse moves like Right Stick Analog, there is a program called reWASD that can do it, BUT you will have to paid unnecessary amount to use that program. Then just use Left/Right Click or scroll Middle Wheel acting as camera box tilting left or right, and taking photo shot with Space as above.
 
 
See? It is not even that difficult to implement mouse control, get your s*** together Koei !
