Note that some inputs like the Protosync Menu are keybind-locked and cannot be changed due to their functionality in-game.

Best Settings

Which Should You Choose?

Keyboard Has More Keybind Options

A Keyboard offers a lot more controls in comparison to a controller. It is also more accessible as the keybinds are already automatically set once you start the game.

Controller to Relax

Arknights: Endfield has controller support, which is perfect if you are exploring or farming materials for your Operators. Using a controller allows you to sit back, gather materials, and fight enemies.
