Mass Effect: Andromeda Keyboard & Controller Controls
Default PC keyboard and mouse controls for Mass Effect: Andromeda, with Xbox controller equivalents, as printed in EA's PC manual. Unlike the trilogy, Ryder jumps with Space, dodges on the middle mouse button and fires powers straight from 1, 2 and 3; the Nomad rover has its own full set of driving and mining keys.
