Best mouse and keyboard settings
To play well in Battlefield 6, you’ll need to make sure you’re using the best keybinds and settings for mouse and keyboard you can.
Using the best guns, classes, and settings will give you a strong head start, but you’ll need to be able to move and aim well to have any chance at success. No matter whether you’re on console or PC, we’re breaking down all the keyboard and mouse settings and keybinds you need, including how to change your sensitivity.
How to change BF6 keyboard and mouse settings

- Head to ‘Settings.’
- First, go to ‘Gameplay’ and ‘Global’ to change baseline settings.
- Then, click ‘Mouse and Keyboard.’
- Select ‘Modify’ on any of the boxes under Infantry and Vehicles to change these settings.
- Finally, head down to ‘Other’ to make sure Mouse Raw Input is On.
