PC Keyboard and Mouse Controls

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on PC supports full key rebinding in Options, but the factory defaults below are what the game ships with before you customize. Movement uses W to move forward, S backward, A left, and D right. Weak Attack is bound to Left Mouse Button; Strong Attack to Right Mouse Button. Ki Blast defaults to Q. Jump and ascend share Space — tap to jump, hold to fly upward. Descend defaults to Left Alt (many players rebind this to Left Ctrl for comfort). Boost and step dash in battle use Left Shift while moving. Guard is E. Lock-on is Middle Mouse Button (mouse wheel click). Switch lock-on target uses Mouse Wheel Up and Mouse Wheel Down. These defaults assume a standard FPS hand position on WASD with combat on the mouse, which the community generally prefers over the original Xenoverse layout.

Open the Super Attack menu (must kill bar) by holding F — while holding F, press the attack key mapped to each super slot: typically Right Mouse for one super, Left Mouse for another, Q for a third, and Space for a fourth depending on your loadout order. Ultimate Attack defaults to R while holding both skill menu keys as shown in tutorials — on keyboard, hold F plus the ultimate key R for your equipped ultimate during early missions; advanced inputs use Left Shift combinations mirroring controller triggers once you rebind. Evasive Skill uses the same modifier pattern as ultimates in default settings. Ki charge is not a separate key — hold Right Mouse for charged strong attacks. Vanish while attacking, guarding, or being hit maps to Space in many default layouts alongside jump; check your binding screen because duplicate keys cause conflicts until rebound. Dragon Radar uses Z. Scouter / sensing mode uses 1. Quest information uses 2. Limit Burst in Expert Missions defaults to Z when available.

Hub navigation on PC is notoriously awkward compared to combat. Open the menu with Tab. Interact with NPCs often shares Q, which conflicts with Ki Blast outside hub safe zones — the game context-switches prompts. Chat defaults to Left Ctrl; battle log to C. Photo Mode uses Right Ctrl. Menu navigation still relies on arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, End, and Enter rather than WASD in many screens — this is unchanged from launch and frustrates new PC players. Return confirms dialog; Q skips dialog rapidly. Map in Conton City uses Tab or the dedicated map key shown in hub prompts. Boost flight in the city may use Left Shift depending on patch — if rebinding breaks city flight, reset boost to default Left Shift. You cannot use the mouse in most menus; plan keyboard hand positions accordingly.

If you play with an Xbox controller on PC, Type A is the default operation type. Weak Attack X, Strong Attack Y, Ki Blast B, Jump A, Guard LB, Lock-on RB, Boost LT while moving, Super Attacks while holding RT plus face buttons, Ultimate LT plus RT plus Y or X, Evasive LT plus RT plus A. PlayStation controllers follow the same layout with Cross, Square, Triangle, Circle, L1, R1, L2, R2. Steam Input often shows Xbox icons even on DualShock — disable Steam PlayStation configuration if you want native PS prompts, or memorize the Xbox mapping. Type B swaps jump and lock-on to R1/RB; Type C moves supers to different modifiers for players migrating from Xenoverse 1. Change operation type in Options before rebinding individual buttons.

Community PC recommendations after thousands of hours: rebind Descend from Left Alt to Left Ctrl to avoid Windows menu conflicts. Consider separate keys for Jump and Ascend if your keyboard supports extra mouse buttons. Bind Evasive to a thumb mouse button if possible for PvP. Never leave two critical actions on the same key without understanding context priority. After major patches, verify bindings — rare bugs cleared keyboard maps. Back up your config through Steam cloud. Test rebinding in Training Mode with every super and ultimate slot filled. Remember Q talks to NPCs in hub and fires Ki blasts in combat — muscle memory matters. For Expert Missions, confirm Limit Burst key before co-op sessions.
