All 2XKO controls – Keyboard and controller bindings

Like all fighting games, 2XKO has a pretty robust set of controls that you’ll need to master.

If you’re enjoying the early access on PC, you can opt for a controller or go for a keyboard and mouse layout (unfortunately, I don’t own an Arcade Stick). This guide will help you learn about the default controls as applicable under the different methods.

All 2XKO Keyboard controls

Here are the default keybindings if you’re opting to play with a keyboard. If you use a keyboard with a numpad, the controls could differ from what’s listed here.

• Light Attack: J
• Medium Attack: K
• Heavy Attack: L
• Special 1: M
• Special 2: ,
• Team: .
• Taunt: R
• Throw: I
• Dash: Space
• Parry: U
• Break: O
• Ultimate: P
• Move Left: A
• Move Right: D
• Jump: W
• Crouch: S
• Toggle Recording (Training Mode): L Shift
• Toggle Playback (Training Mode): R Shift
• Reset (Training Mode): L Ctrl

All 2XKO controller controls

Here are the default keybindings if you’re playing with a controller. Note that I am using a DualSense. You can also use an Xbox controller/another model whose configuration works with your Windows version.

• Light Attack: Squarer
• Medium Attack: Triangle
• Heavy Attack: Circle
• Special 1: L2
• Special 2: R2
• Team: X
• Taunt: R3
• Dash: L1
• Parry: L2
• Move Left: D-pad Left
• Move Right: D-pad Right

Compared to keyboard controls, certain controller keybinds are a combination of two or more buttons. For example, the throw function is a combination of Circle and Triangle if you’re using a controller. On the Keyboard layout, there’s a dedicated switch. This is the main reason for the decrease in default bindings for controllers.

To view the default keybinds for a fighting stick, you’ll need to have one connected to your PC.
