In this article, you’ll find that Path of Exile 2 is currently available in early access, offering approximately half of the content planned for the complete launch. If you’re a console player or someone who prefers using a controller, you might be curious about re-mapping your skills. Here, we’ll quickly walk you through the process, focusing on the PC version of the game!

How to Set Skill Key Binds on Controller

At the outset, it’s important to mention that Path of Exile 2 currently only works with a limited selection of controllers, according to the options menu. If your third-party controller isn’t functioning, you might have to wait for future updates or look for alternative solutions elsewhere.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can confidently say that whether you prefer the DualSense or DualShock controllers for PlayStation or controllers designed for Xbox, you’ll find they operate seamlessly, providing you with an immersive and enjoyable gaming experience!

As a gamer, here’s how I’d personally rebind my buttons: “To adjust my control layout, specifically for skills, I just need to pop open my inventory and then make my way to the ‘Skills’ section using the bumper buttons on my controller. The exact buttons might differ depending on your specific gaming setup.

Over the specific skills, you can hover for more options. At the lower part of your screen, you’ll find a “Set Skill Bind” option. Simply press the button that appears there to open the key binding interface.

Alternatively, you could choose a skill first, followed by navigating towards the “Assign Skill” option. Regardless of the method you choose, you’ll end up at the same menu.

Following this, it’s time for you to choose the button that you prefer to assign the selected skill to. This action will also display the existing setup on your screen, such as your quick slot consumables and additional features.

In this menu, you’re not limited to mastering only the skill you first chose. Feel free to learn and adjust other key bindings as well. If you’re not happy with your current setup, you can always change or remove existing key binds too.

You can reach this interface not just from the main screen, but also by navigating through the ‘pause menu’. At the base of the circular menu, you’ll find the ‘Bind Screen’ option. Clicking on it will transport you to the identical interface where you can manage your bound skills and items by picking them up or putting them down.

Additionally, you have the option to choose blank spaces, enabling you to assign items like consumables and abilities without having to open the skills or inventory menus directly.

Essentially, this information should help you sort out your skill issues when using a controller. It’s not overly complex, but as you advance, it might become slightly time-consuming, particularly if you opt for a new game setup or build unexpectedly.
