When it comes to playing Rematch, the debate between keyboard and controller is real—and both have their pros and cons depending on your style and goals.
Keyboard + Mouse: Precision and Custom Control
Using keyboard and mouse gives you insane precision, especially for long-range or top-corner shots. You can aim down to the pixel, which is a big plus if you're aiming for high-level performance. Key inputs are super responsive, allowing for quick combos and actions, and you can fully customize your keybinds to suit your playstyle.
However, movement is more rigid—you’re stuck with the classic 8-direction (WASD) input, making dribbling and direction changes feel less natural. It can also be physically tiring over long sessions, and for newcomers, the learning curve is steeper.
Controller: Comfort and Movement Fluidity
If you come from console gaming or just want a smoother, more intuitive experience, the controller is a great choice. The ergonomic design allows for long sessions without discomfort. Analog sticks make dribbling, feinting, and directional changes feel fluid and natural. Movement and passing are often more precise too—especially useful in team play.
On the downside, aiming shots (especially long-range or tight-angle ones) is trickier without a mouse. Some combos may also require button juggling, which can slightly slow you down. Plus, if you use a wireless controller, you might run into minor input lag depending on your setup.
So, which one should you use?
Go for keyboard/mouse if you want pure precision and are comfortable customizing controls.
Choose controller if you prefer fluid movement, ease of use, and comfort over long play sessions.
In the end, it’s all about what feels right to you—Rematch supports both perfectly, so don’t hesitate to test each and pick what makes you shine on the field.
