⌨️ Graveyard Keeper 2 Controls - Keyboard & Controller

Both work — the Steam page advertises full controller support, and as a PC management game it is naturally playable with keyboard and mouse as well. This page deliberately avoids publishing an exact keybinding table: layouts can differ between patches and platforms, and an invented mapping list helps nobody. What follows is how the game's input is organised in practice, so you know what to look for on the options screen the first time you launch.

• Full controller support: advertised on the Steam store page.
• Keyboard and mouse: fully supported on PC.
• Consoles: the game ships on PS5/PS4, Xbox, Switch and Switch 2 — controller-first by design.

As a graveyard-management game at heart, most of your play is navigation and interaction — walking the Town and graveyard, opening station menus, managing corpses and inventory — with combat actions layered on top for the six-day-cycle battles. Menu-heavy play of this kind maps cleanly onto a controller (the first game proved the layout), while keyboard players get the usual precision of hotkeys for inventory and map screens. Movement, interact, attack and menu access are the four pillars to locate on any scheme you choose.

• Navigation and interaction dominate peacetime play.
• Combat adds attack and defense inputs during battles.
• Inventory, map and tech-tree screens are the menu layer.

There is no wrong answer, only rhythm: controller suits the console-style pacing and couch/Steam Deck play the game is clearly built to travel to, while mouse and keyboard suit the base-building stretches where you live in menus. Because saves are the same either way, switching schemes mid-run costs nothing. If you play on Steam Deck or any console, the question answers itself — controller is the only input those devices have, and the full controller support claim means nothing is lost in translation.
