All PC Controls of Black Myth: Wukong

While Black Myth: Wukong offers some key rebinding options for keyboard and mouse, it doesn't support full customization. Several keys, such as the arrow keys, mouse side buttons, right Alt, Ctrl, Shift, and the entire Numpad, cannot be assigned to any actions, making the game difficult for those who prefer using arrow keys. Although players can bypass this limitation with AutoHotKey software, they shouldn't have to rely on third-party tools to enjoy the game.
