Best Input Settings For Splitgate 2
Binds
For the most part, bind settings for both keyboard & mouse and controller come down to personal preference, with individual setups typically working best when kept consistent across games. However, certain key binds do stand out specifically for Splitgate 2. These are as follows:
- Crouch Toggle: Set this to an easily accessible key like Left Shift on keyboard & mouse or LS on controller. Crouch Hold can be left unbound.
- Jump: While it’s fine to leave this as Space on keyboard and mouse, controller players may benefit from switching the bind to RS, allowing them to look around while using their Jetpack freely.
- Create Portal Left / Create Portal Right: Players may benefit from binding Create Portals to separate keys on keyboard and mouse. It’s also recommended to leave Create Portal (Alternative) and Switch Alternating Portals unbound for a cleaner setup. For a controller, opt to use Create Portal (Alternative) and Switch Alternating Portals for a simpler button layout.
