Pokebonk Controls: Keyboard, Mouse, Touch and Key Bindings

Which controls should I learn first?

Start with move → camera → jump → interact → Ultimate. Open the official game through our play page , then use the table below beside the game. For the full first-run route, return to the Pokebonk beginner guide .

What are the keyboard and mouse defaults?

Movement and combat

Normal move attacks fire through the game’s attack system; the default action list does not define a separate basic-attack key. Read your starter’s kit before choosing upgrades.

Navigation and automation

Level-up choices

These keys do not unlock their actions or grant extra uses. Compare the visible choices in the level-up guide ; the Lab FAQ explains the fourth move slot versus a fourth offer.

How do I change bindings or aiming?

1. Open Settings → Keys and select the action to change.
2. Press the replacement key, middle/right mouse button or a side mouse button. Esc cancels capture. The primary mouse button is not offered by this capture handler.
3. Check the displayed assignment. Binding an already-used key swaps actions within the same action group; gameplay and level-up shortcuts are handled separately.
4. Use the section’s Reset control to restore its defaults if needed. Esc, Enter, Tab and number keys 1–4 are reserved rather than freely assignable.

Use Settings → Controls for aiming and camera options, rather than key assignments. Automatic aiming selects the closest enemy; Manual uses the camera direction. Q toggles between them during play with default bindings.

Existing Beta v0.7.2 screenshot, retained as a navigation illustration. It is not a v0.8.55 capture and does not show the entire current action list; use the checked tables above for this reference’s defaults.

How do touch controls work?

In Settings → Controls → Touch controls, the client offers Automatic, Touch, and Keyboard and mouse. If automatic detection picks the wrong interface, choose the appropriate option explicitly.

The same settings section includes a fixed joystick and touch-button size options when touch mode is active. These are implemented controls, not a guarantee of frame rate, browser compatibility or comfort on every device. If the game will not accept input, use the controls and focus troubleshooting steps .

Can I use a controller?

The v0.8.55 client includes browser gamepad detection, movement/camera sticks and button assignment controls. With a pad detected, Settings → Keys exposes gamepad bindings. Button labels and layouts can vary, so check that screen instead of assuming a universal Xbox or PlayStation map. No controller hardware was tested for this article.

What was verified, and where?

Checked 2026-10-25 against these official public resources:

• Official version file : v0.8.55, build mvob1c8t at the time of review.
• Game client : default action map, input handlers, key capture, touch interface, gamepad handling and co-op pause update conditions.
• English interface strings : action names, aiming and touch-help descriptions.

The tables describe inspected client behavior. We did not change a live profile, complete a run, test touch hardware, pair a controller or verify multiplayer timing in-game. The older screenshot and the beginner guide’s v0.7.3 observations remain historical evidence. Asset URLs may change with a patch; recheck the live version before treating this snapshot as current.
