Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best RPGs released in 2025 and an excellent debut title for Sandfall Interactive. The PC version supports multiple inputs, even though the game recommends playing with a controller.
Whatever input type you end up using, if you need a reference for the default scheme, here are the complete Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 controls for controllers, and keyboard and mouse for PC.

Exploration
Can you Remap Controls in Clair Obscur Expedition 33?
Yes, you can rebind the controls for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, but only for keyboard and mouse. This can be done in the keybinds tab in the settings. There is only one preset available for controllers, at least on PC.
I can confirm that the game is a bit more comfortable to play on a controller because of the easier access to QTE prompts for parrying, attacking, and such. Even though this is a turn-based title, the combat is quite involved and active.

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
