Battlefield 6 rewards fast decision-making and consistent muscle memory. The layouts below prioritize reachability on a standard keyboard and a common mouse, keeping movement, aim, and essential actions on your strongest fingers. Treat these as a practical baseline: set them up, play a few sessions, then nudge sensitivity and toggles until they feel natural.
Open Battlefield 6 keyboard and mouse settings
From the main menu, select the cog icon in the top right and open Mouse & Keyboard. The menus are split into Infantry controls, Infantry keybinds, and Vehicles. Apply the values below in those sections.
