All of the PUBG Keyboard Controls can be customized under the Settings menu, here is a quick guide on how to change your settings to meet your game style. Most players will be familiar with the Common PUBG Keyboard Controls but there are a few differences due to some special PUBG features.

I would always recommend using the WASD Keybind layout as this is the most popular and all the top games use this a default, after those keys you may need to tweak a few to your liking.

What does WASD mean in games?

WASD Keys are the group of Keyboard Controls used by most games. They are located to the left side of the keyboard and utilise the top 2 rows of letters just below the numbers. Most games use this set of keys and so it’s easy, once learnt, to switch to other similar games.

Once you have navigated to these sections, find the PUBG Keybind you want to change, I would recommend adding the keyboard control you want to use to the second column rather than replace the first column. Find the Key, on that row click into the 2nd column and then hit the key you want to bind.

NOTE: Remember to Click on SAVE at the bottom of the screen to keep the settings.

The default keys are the ones original set in the game, these can be reset back to default using the Rest to Default option.
