Monster Hunter World has proven to be a huge success for Capcom, and the good times will only continue to roll as the game makes its way over to PCs via Steam. There will be a learning curve with the new keyboard control map, and some players will be curious to learn how well Monster Hunter World runs on PC, but the input layout for the latest version of Capcom's signature beast-slaying series isn't exactly far-out. Keep reading to learn all of the different keyboard controls and key bindings for the PC version of Monster Hunter World. We've updated this guide to include the new control scheme introduced with Monster Hunter: World Iceborne, so make sure you brush up on the new controls as quickly as possible.

Menu navigation PC controls for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Controls in Monster Hunter World aren't that complicated, but we have seen some fairly large changes come into play with the Iceborne update. As such, we've updated our PC controls guide to make use of all the new commands. All of these controls are based on the Type 1 setting. With the update to Iceborne, Monster Hunter World now automatically changes your controls based on the type of mouse you have. Because of this, some of the controls below that use MB4 or MB5 (Mouse Button 4 and Mouse Button 5) may be a bit different than your basic controls, so make sure you take a look at your own settings or head to the Training Area to test out the new control setup.

With the basic menu controls out of the way, let's take a look at the Item Box menu controls, something you'll want to memorize as quickly as possible.

Next up is your Change Equipment Menu. Here are the current PC controls you need to be aware of.

Now let's take a look at the ranged weapon controls in Monster Hunter World.
