Playing Blue Prince with Mouse and Keyboard

Playing Blue Prince with a Controller
Pros

Comfortable for longer sessions
Puzzle inputs feel more deliberate (especially rotating, zooming, and selecting)
Cons
Slightly slower to move through inventory and menus
Typing in passwords or terminal commands can be a bit of a pain
Which Should You Use?
Mouse/Keyboard is great if you like precision, especially during puzzles, or if you’re flipping between guides, spreadsheets, or screenshots.
Controller is ideal for immersion, smoother movement, and couch gameplay vibes.
Most players start with keyboard and mouse but switch to controller once they get deep into exploration. If you’re in it for long-haul runs or solving visual puzzles, the controller tends to feel better on the hands.
Final Blurb
Whether you go with a mouse or a controller, Blue Prince plays fine either way. Just don’t be afraid to swap depending on what part of the game you're in. One’s better for notes, the other’s better for vibes.
