What are the default PC controls and keybindings in Elden Ring for PC?

You're free to customize them as you wish.

If you’re playing Elden Ring on PC, you’ll have the option to use a mouse and keyboard to explore The Lands Between instead of a controller. If you want to stick with the default keybindings, it might take some getting used to, especially considering one of Elden Ring’s key features — jumping — is relegated to the “F” key instead of the spacebar, as it is in many other games. However, mouse and keyboard controls do allow you to fine-tune your control scheme, which could come in handy during combat encounters.
