In WWE 2K22, players will experience a new Controls System that will dictate how Superstars can perform different moves. Keyboard and mouse players are going to face some difficulty with the default settings, especially while performing Grab, Carry, Dragging, and Combos.
Selecting the Controls setting in the Options tab will only show you the default controls at the start. However, players can change or remap their current keybinds by selecting the Extras option in the same Tab. Navigate through to the Input Settings in Extras to change the controls.
How to change the Keyboard remapping in WWE 2K22
During gameplay, the assistance options will always show the default keybinds for specific moves. For instance, Grapple will be set to K, Pin to L, Reversal to I, and Strike to J. Regardless, players can remap these keys to personalize their controls.
While in Input Settings, remap keys by simply changing the default. Players can remap the keys, depending upon right-handed or left-handed preference. Ideally, Grapple, Pin, Reversal, Strike, and Climb should be remapped to keys that are closer to the movement buttons. Players can remap the keys to Q, E, R, F, and C for those who prefer left-handed controls. Similarly, keybind the aforementioned moves to the direction arrows and Numpad for right-handed controls.
