Keybinds & Controls Customization

In the vast and dynamic universe of No Man's Sky, efficient control over your character and vehicles is paramount. Customizing your keybinds and controls allows you to tailor the gameplay experience to your preferences, ensuring fluid navigation and quick access to essential actions, whether you're playing on PC or console.

The game offers a comprehensive options menu where you can rebind almost every action to your preferred input. This is particularly useful for PC players using keyboards and mice, where the sheer number of available commands can be overwhelming. Assing frequently used actions like scanning, mining, or accessing your inventory to easily accessible keys can sificantly improve your reaction time and overall gameplay flow.

For console players, while the default controller layout is generally intuitive, some may find certain button combinations awkward. Customizing these can help alleviate strain and improve comfort during extended play sessions. Furthermore, if you're using specialized peripherals, such as a flight stick for starship control, the ability to rebind actions becomes essential for optimal performance.

Customization Options

Keyboard & Mouse: Full remapping of all actions, including movement, combat, inventory management, and building.
Controller: Adjusting button assments for improved ergonomics and accessibility.
Flight Controls: Fine-tuning sensitivity and assing specific actions to flight-related inputs.
UI Navigation: Customizing shortcuts for accessing menus and the quick menu.

Experimenting with different keybind configurations is highly recommended. What works best is subjective and depends on your playstyle and the input device you use. Taking the time to set up your controls optimally can transform your interaction with the game, making every action feel more natural and responsive.
