Han Solo never said “Don’t hit E when you meant to hit F, kid,” but he would have if he was playing video games instead of being imaginary. Star Wars: Squadrons has a fairly simple control scheme for a game that is based in space, and we have the entire list of controls you will need on PC below.
It might take a while to learn them all, so you can just keep this list open on a second monitor while you play to avoid needing to open up the menus and track down which button to push. That would certainly be a bad idea in the game’s multiplayer mode.
If you want to change any of the keybindings you can do it in Options, Settings, Controls, and Keybindings. Here, you can assign any function to any key you like.
HOTAS and VR Controls
Star Wars: Squadrons features full HOTAS functionality but default mappings are only provided for joysticks. You will need to map the controls for your additional HOTAS peripherals if you own them. This can be done through the Options menu.
