Knowing the controls in Palworld is essential for your success in the game; after all, while you can always try to learn the controls on the job as it were, this can potentially put you at major risk while adventuring. After all, you only need to be jumped once by a wild Pal or Syndicate Team member, and if your responses aren’t quick enough while you try to work out the controls, they could very easily take you down before you can react. So, knowing your controls to start with can definitely help, and we’re looking at all of the core base default controls to help.

What are the Default Palworld Controls on PC

Palworld is an incredibly popular PC game, and being able to play with a keyboard certainly allows for a lot of different controls (although these can be somewhat tricky to wrap your head around, to begin with). The main default base controls you’ll likely use when playing Palworld on your PC include the following:

• Movement: W (forward), S (back), A (left), D (right)
• Jump: Space
• Sprint: Shift
• Roll / Dodge: Ctrl
• Crouch / Slide: C
• Attack / Use Item: Left click
• Throw Pal Sphere: Q
• Aim / Cancel Pal Sphere: Right click
• Summon Pal / Ride Pal: E
• Change Pal (Left / Right): 1 / 3
• Pick Up Pal: V
• Use Partner Skill: F
• Reload Weapon: R
• Change Pal Sphere: 2
• Pal Commands: 4 One of the nice things about the PC controls for Palworld is that they’re generally pretty harmonious with other games’ controls. As such, getting to grips with Palworld’s controls shouldn’t be too difficult to learn.

Controller / Gamepad Controls in Palworld

If you usually play with a controller, you’ll naturally need to learn a different set of controls to a PC user - but fortunately, these are also quite intuitive to get to grips with! The main controls you’ll need to know include the following:

• Movement: Left joystick in the direction of movement
• Jump: A button
• Sprint: Hold down LS button
• Crouch / Slide: B button
• Attack / Use Item: RT button
• Throw Pal Sphere: Right button
• Aim / Cancel Pal Sphere: LT button
• Summon Pal / Ride Pal: Left button
• Change Pal (Left / Right): Left / right button
• Pick Up Pal: Y button
• Reload Weapon or Use Partner Skill: X button
• Change Pal Sphere: Down button
• Pal Commands: Hold down RS button These controller controls are usually easier for many players, especially during combat or while riding Pals, not least of all because you won’t have to remember specifically which key to use; it’s generally a lot more natural to learn.

How to Change Controls in Palworld

If the default settings aren’t working for you (or your friends on a private server), changing controls is simple. However, before you start playing about with your game’s controls and settings, it’s well worth considering starting your game on a Palworld dedicated server, which allows full access to your server settings - so, you can customize your game commands and controls at will.

To change your controls in the game, first, navigate to Settings and open the Controls panel. Here, all of your current keyboard/mouse and controller settings will be listed. To change a control, simply select the control in question and press the key or button you want to use instead when prompted. This should then change the game’s controls, allowing you to use a custom set of controls in your game instead! Make sure you confirm the change before leaving the settings menu, or your newly selected controls may not apply!
