Elden Ring came out two weeks ago and after spending more than 40 hours on it, I can safely say that the game is playable with keyboard and mouse. However, there is one feature that can completely destroy your gaming experience if you use K&M, and that’s the automatic re-centering of the camera. And while FromSoftware has not addressed this via a patch, there is now a mod that fixes it.
For those unaware, the game automatically re-centers your camera. And while this may be fine for gamepad users, it’s completely unnecessary for keyboard and mouse players. After all, and by using the mouse, you can quickly re-position your camera.
Created by modder ‘TechieW’, this mod removes this ridiculous automatic camera re-centering feature. As such, PC gamers can now fully enjoy the game with the keyboard and mouse. And yes, the game can become easier now as you won’t be fighting with the camera anymore.
As with most mods, you must disable the game’s anti-cheat system (meaning you have to play in offline mode). You can download the mod from here. You will also need Elden Mod Loader in order to apply it.
Speaking of Elden Ring mods, we also suggest downloading the following ones. Flawless Ultrawide enables support for ultra-wide resolutions/monitors. There is also an unofficial Photo Mode. Furthermore, this mod will unlock the game’s framerate.
Have fun!

It ****ing baffles me how s*** like this still isn’t standard on some games. Thank god for modders
Nope I curse modders. Modders are why you are baffled. Had people just let games like this Rot on the shelves and never touch them, then you wouldn’t have these problem. Instead what we have are are people nurturing then back to life, thus enabling these types of unfinished behavior.
Developers don’t decide whether to fix their game or not based on mods that exist for their game, how stupid can you be to complain about something free and optional?
Nah mate, you’re wrong. What you’re saying is that people should enjoy only the things YOU enjoy as well. And while we know different people have different tastes, this or any other community MOD is a HUGE service for those in need. Stop being so self-centered.
When did I say people would “enjoy only what I enjoy”. Look man I’m trying my hardest not to be rude person, so please content on what I said not what you THINK I said. For this has nothing to do with what “I enjoy”. I just don’t understand where you are getting that statement from and why would you be so dishonest. My problem is quite clear from what I said and you are just mudding it up with conjecture. “Here goes another souls hater”. Why are you people like this? Because someone have a legit concern, you automatically go into a projection tirade. Dude, I said what I said because the modding community are clear enablers of these lazy developers. Because why’s is it that every launch it’s always the same issues? Because they know Modder Joe will do their job for them and that ain’t right.
did you play the game?
Oh f*ck off
But mate, if people are enjoying doing this, why would you care about them? Leave them be!
“Had people just let games like this Rot on the shelves and never touch them”
These are your words, and there, you clearly say people shouldn’t buy what THEY want. And that’s the reason I said you should leave people enjoy their things, cause this is subjective.
And no, I’m not saying that idiotic thing about ‘sOuLs GaMeS hAtEr’.
So you don’t see the problem with all of this. I know you know what the problem is and why this breeds more of the same problem but you decide to NOT comprehend. That’s alright man, I’m over it by now do you bud. With that said, I don’t ever want to see you complain about the state of any game again.
The thing about discussing things on internet is that looks like none of us are getting each other’s point.
But nevermind.
“And while this may be fine for gamepad users”
I can assure you that we hate it too. Drives me nuts in GTA 5.
Never really found the camera annoying. But i’m playing with a controller on pc. Ppl playing this game with keyboard/mouse are machines!
Console plebs migrating to PC was probably the worst thing that ever happened to PC as a platform.
A truly PC Master Race™ would know that PC has no limitations, we can play with a shovel if we want to!
Different games need different controls.
Somewhat true…. But I rarely use a Game pad, if I do I use a Nintendo Switch Pro controller. It is the most comfortable for my hands. Now driving games are best with a full setup but since I own 3 muscle cars, one that has over 1300hp (Twin turbo) I can XP it in real life so never saw the need. Plus with the Wooting HE keyboard I can set it up as analog and get the best of both worlds.
No, PC gaming is about PC gaming not making console gamers feel inclusive by saying sh*t like that. There’s a reason you don’t hear that statement from people who actually grew up playing PC games.
I grew up playing on PC and I have at least 5 different controls to go with it.
Don’t spread bullshlt around, mate.
You grew up playing console games and occasionally watched low quality p*rn on your dad’s shetty low-end work computer, don’t bs me.
Yeah, now I remember you there teaching me stuff and all. Can’t believe I had forgotten about you being such big part of my life.
Peasants and their peasantry.
Just reported you to the Pakistani authorities, good luck.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You sonafa…
I am playing Keyboard and Thumb Trackball. I have a Wooting HE Keyboard, With their “Wootility” I can remap almost anything and everything, including analog gamepad functions to keyboard. Best $200 bucks I have spent in a long time. Along with the Logitech MX ergo software I have it set up SAWWWWEEETTTT!!
If you want to see a game that’s designed for kb+m and flawlessly, go and play The Surge. You’ll see what controllers are inferior when kb+m is done properly.
Thank you for sharing this, John.
Oh $hit you’re back. Robo-Fernando is back by unpopular demand.
Why make a complete game beyond bare minimum, when other people will fix your game for free & pay you for it. UnFuqing-Believable. These gamers deserve these developers/vice-versa.
really must have mod ….this is a 100% recommended.(because that automatic camera moving to centered is annoying as hell breaks all interest on game…..who the f*ck wants that on pc with k/mouse.. …shame on developers ….can’t add this from start….
Damn idiot devs!
How the hell can they Still do stunts like this!
Seems like a real POS console trash game!
won’t buy, thanks
