Mastering the controls in DC Universe Online is essential for effective combat and exploration. The game supports both keyboard/mouse and gamepad controls. For keyboard and mouse, movement is typically handled by W, A, S, D. The mouse controls your camera and targeting. Left-click is your primary attack, while right-click often triggers a secondary weapon ability or block. Your power tray abilities are bound to number keys 1-8. The Tab key cycles through targets, and F interacts with objects or NPCs. Your movement mode abilities (Flight, Acrobatics, Super-Speed) are usually bound to Spacebar or specific keys depending on your choice. For example, Flight uses Spacebar to ascend and Ctrl to descend, while Acrobatics uses Spacebar to jump and double-tap Spacebar to glide. Super-Speed uses Spacebar to activate and Shift to sprint. Experiment with these controls in the tutorial area to find what feels most comfortable. You can also customize keybinds in the 'Options' menu under 'Keybindings'.
