This is a comprehensive guide to the PC keyboard and PC Mouse commands to perform over 120 in-game actions from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I prepared this manual since, nearly three years following this fantastic Game’s release, I could not find a list of commands that was easy, easy to Ready, or really complete.

This manual was originally published by me, as a Steam player guide, on March 14, 2018 and will be updated as necessary. It’s copyrighted by me. Individual Players can make a copy for their use. However, this manual shouldn’t be Copied, duplicated, interpreted, or otherwise distributed with no special consent.

Every control option on the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
