Split Fiction KBM or Controller? Which Is Better

Split Fiction is the latest co-op adventure from Hazelight Studios, and just like their past hits, it lets you play on either keyboard and mouse or a controller. But let’s be real—only one of them lets you play while slouching on the couch like a champion.
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide if you should play on KBM or controller.
Keyboard and Mouse Support
If you don’t have two controllers lying around, keyboard and mouse is your friend. The good news? It works really well.
You can rebind keys however you like.
Mouse sensitivity can be adjusted, so you’re not wildly spinning every time you blink.
Movement and aiming are quick and accurate.
This setup is great if you’re already used to PC gaming or just don’t want to dig your controller out from under a pile of cables.
Controller Support
If you have a controller, this is how the game was meant to be played.
Supports Xbox and PlayStation controllers with full button remapping.
PlayStation 5 players get adaptive trigger support with DualSense.
Optional Camera Assist helps smooth things out, especially if you’re not great with sticks.
You can swap stick functions and turn off vibration if your hands are too fancy for feedback.
Also, you get to lean back and relax, which is impossible with a keyboard unless you’ve mastered some kind of sorcery.
Final Blurb
Both setups work great, but controller wins for comfort and immersion—especially if you're playing co-op on the couch. If you only have one controller, let your buddy suffer with the keyboard while you take the throne. That’s just basic gamer law.
