This one's a bit of reading, but here's hoping it can help out some knights who want to get into weapon switching.

Thank you sire. I'm looking forwards to practicing and your gameplay at the end was really satisfying.

Great and useful video, thanks!

A well made guide, pyro.

Great video, I will use settings

Great explanation. I use space for w1, E for w2, Q for w3 and shift for w4, maybe someone will find this setup useful.

Good stuff

Hey great vid btw. Would you mind sharing your full conifg/binds? If not, do you move with mouse or wasd?

I have a problem with shield, i think that i press it very fast, and dont cancel the animation. You have to press a bit of time shield and change weapons in that moment?

My layout is q, e, ctrl, and alt. Its comfortable for me and I can reliably switch between each of them.

I see how that could work, but using WASD movement *while* switching would be quite the thing to get used to. Particularly strafing left while switching to the wep on Q, or strafing right and switching to E.

Hi, what a great video. I decide to reorganization the layout after watching this. But my current mouse doesn't have a thumb button, so I'll get a new one. I'm not sure this problem is appropriate or not cuz maybe there is not much difference. What model of mouse do you use? Just for reference, thanks.

I use a Corsair Scimitar which is totally overkill for Spiral Knights, as I only use 2 of the side buttons for switching. The last mouse I used was a Logitech MX518, which is a good example of a common-style mouse that works perfectly for switching.

Hi, what program are you using to display keyboard and mouse clicks?

Is there any way to get that Button « switcher »? I also switch with my 2 thumb buttons but for slot 3-4 it’s a problem. Edit: is your modifier button a button that switch on a second mouse configuration with other keys Indes to your thumb button? If yes, how it doesn’t take any time to load?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Slot 1 and 4 are both set to a single thumb button (Page Up), and slots 2 and 3 are both set to the other thumb button (Page Down). The way a single thumb button can be bound to 2 weapons is because of the modifier key. If modifier key isn't held, then Page Up = Weapon 1, and Page Down = Weapon 2. If the modifier key *is* held, then Page Up = Weapon 4, and Page Down = Weapon 3. My modifier button is Right-Click, and is set to the in-game control called "Modifier", which is 7 up from the bottom-most control.

Have you ever used controller to weapon switch? And if so is it possible to do so?

@Pyrosparker

3 жыл бұрын

I've done it in the past, but not for very long. I forget the details but I think I remember switching all four weapon slots being either impossible or at least extremely inconvenient. The number of controls you can press at the same time (assuming you hold the controller like a normal person) is far fewer than you get with keys + mouse, which is the main problem.

When setting a control, hold down your Modifier key and press Z. That control is now bound to Mod+Z. If you have Wep1 set as Z, and Wep4 set as Mod+Z, then the Z key now has 2 weapons bound to it, and you can choose which to switch to by holding Modifier or not.

The longest macro i'd recomend using would be weapon 1 key followed by weapon 2 key, so when u want to pull out your weapon 2 you just use the macro and when you want to single switch you only have to press 1 button instead of 2. You also keep 100% freedom over your actions compared to any longer macros.
