Keyboard Hunters! - A Better Control Scheme
By Lyyti
Are you a serial keyboard and mouse user like me? Having trouble making this game work with them? Here's a guide on how to stop the headaches and get yourself a good control scheme! This scheme should let you use even the most finicky weapon sets; like Insect Glaive, Charge Blade, and the Bowguns.

The Key Config
Here's a screencap of all the key bindings for this control scheme. Click to maximise it!

Other Game Settings & Tweaks
Setting the Radial Menu to the type made for Keyboards



Changing this setting will let you access items quickly by pressing F1-F4 and then pressing a number row key. For example, if you want a whetstone, press F1 then 1 by default!

Changing how the target lock button works.



The default settings for the target lock don't seem to play very well with mouse movement. Changing the settings to this should make it act more agreeable.

Potentially adjusting the MouseBaseSpeed setting in config.ini



There's a config.ini in the root folder of Monster Hunter World. There's not many options here besides some handy binding settings for a controller and a certain setting that lets you adjust how the game emulates a joystick when you move your mouse. If you're unsatisfied with adjusting the mouse sensitivity in-game, try adjusting this setting to your liking as well!

Control Scheme References
Here are reference images for your new control layout! Click to maximise them.
If you lack side-buttons on your mouse, try binding MB4 inputs to F, and MB5 inputs to Caps Lock.

Range settings are terrible, mixing up with slinger and other things.

This is a good config for Melee Weapons but Ranged Ones are extremely hard to use once you've gotten used to the Melee controls.

Just leave coatings and item browning on the scroll wheel, they're allowed to take the same key. Same with interact being on right mouse. No reason to change these.

If you lack thumb buttons, maybe try binding those controls to R and F
