Best Overwatch 2 keybindings on laptop

General Discussion

What is the best way to configure controls for Overwatch 2 on pc or laptop?

External keyboard would be good.
There is no such thing as best - it is individual preference. Default OW settings are not bad thou.

My preferences:

  • ESDF for moving
  • A: “Shift” Ability, R: Ability, W: Ult Ability, T: Reload
  • bind Melee to M4/M5 (side mouse)
  • bind Crouch to M4/M5
  • bind Ping to M3 (scroll press)

The default ones are good enough. Just change only the ones you are not comfortable with. No need to reinvent the wheel.

With that said, you may want to put the ping key to a non mouse button so you can ping while shooting.

I use alt as “understood”, 3 as “countdown”, K as emote, G as ping, melee as 2 choices (V or side mouse button in front) and ultimate as the side mouse button behind it. In other words, everything is default except some minor changes to be able to do things like faster.

Defaults with a few exceptions.

BIND PULSE BOMB TO F OR M5. If you play Tracer you just need to do this. Q is hard to do fast.

BIND FOCUS BEAM TO M5. If you have hold for Focus Beam on, you aren’t gonna be able to move around in the air and aim with E.

I’d bind Bap and Tracer’s crouch to shift. Regen Burst can go to M5. The reason for this is the fact that both heroes have to crouch consistently and Shift is easier to hit than CTRL.

Also turn off recoil recovery aim compensation on everyone.

I probably have a few more but don’t remember them.

I always swap sym shift and e. No idea why a movement ability on e to begin with

I would imagine it depends on the specific laptop model and how the keyboard is laid out, but in generally it shouldn’t differ all that much from a normal keyboard, so I’m unsure exactly what you’re asking for. It’s not like WASD are on the right side of the keyboard on laptops. I do suspect an external keyboard may be better than the built in keyboard, though.

If you just mean on PC in general (as opposed to console), then the defaults are usually fine, but it comes down to whatever you’re comfortable with. There’s no correct answer for keybindings.

Because old sym didnt used to have a teleporter, but did have turrets. The turrets remained on the original keybinding, and as she went through different iterations the E ability changed.

the loaded presets are decent i think, the only things i change are the interact button, and have secondary buttons for abilities on my mouse (depending on which mouse it is will depend where i place it)
