There are a lot of controls and keybindings to learn in Wild Hearts. From hunting Kemono to crafting Karakuri, there’s a button for just about everything. Whether you’re playing on PC with a keyboard, using a controller, or playing on a console, we’ve got all the information you need to get up to speed with which button does what.
Wild Hearts players on PC using a keyboard and mouse have a ton of actions they can perform. While controller users will have multiple actions applied to one button, PC players have dozens of keys to utilize. For this reason, it can actually be tough to keep track of what action belongs to which keystroke.
