The game with button prompts that match the controller

Controllers

Any controller.

Every controller controls player 1, and so do the keyboard and mouse; rumble reaches every connected controller.
Remap every button and set the camera sensitivity, the deadzone and the vibration strength from 10% to 200%.
Camera response: Modern turns the camera the same way in every direction, so circles and diagonals feel even; Original is the Xbox 360's own.
Aim: Hold, as on the console, or Toggle: press once to raise the gun and again to lower it.

Button prompts

Buttons that match your hands.

Button prompts on Automatic shows the buttons of the controller you hold: Xbox 360, Xbox Series, PlayStation or Steam Deck, in the game and the launcher. Pick any style yourself, the classic PlayStation 2 symbols among them, or Keyboard, which shows the keys you have bound. The first setup asks, with a picture of each style.

Keyboard and mouse

Keyboard and mouse, done right.

Real mouse look: the same movement always turns the camera the same amount, with a sensitivity and an invert setting. A modern layout: the left mouse button shoots, the right one aims, R reloads, W A S D moves and Esc pauses; as Kong, Space jumps and climbs. Every key and mouse button can be rebound, and each binding says what it does for Jack and for Kong.
