Resident Evil Outbreak keyboard and controller reference.
Use the interactive reference below to switch between original controller labels and the third-party browser interface. Remapped inputs take precedence over these defaults.
Find the right input.
Original Type B actions and the host’s physical button mappings. Other control schemes and remapping differ.
| Action | PS2 | Browser keyboard | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Move / turn | D-pad / left stick | W A S D | Check 3D / 2D movement in your control scheme |
| Confirm / attack | ✕ | J → ✕ | Type B action; host button mapping |
| Run | □ | Shift → □ | Type B action; host button mapping |
| Aim | R1 auto / R2 aim | Space → R1 | Type B actions; only host R1 shown |
| Status / inventory | Start | Enter → Start | Host Start mapping |
| Map | △ | I → △ | Type B map; host game action not verified |
| Options | Select | M → Select | Type B options; not proof that M opens a map |

Turn first. Then move.
Outbreak uses the deliberate movement and fixed-camera perspective associated with classic survival horror. Practice walking, turning and backing away in a safer space before trying to squeeze past an enemy.
A camera change can make a direction feel unexpected. Pause your movement briefly, look at your character’s facing, then continue. Avoid using combat to diagnose a mapping problem.
If the keyboard does nothing.
- Close any open chat field, browser toolbar or settings input.
- Click the actual game view to give it keyboard focus.
- Try the host’s Start and confirm bindings before testing movement.
- Open its Controls panel and check for changes or unbound keys.
- If using an emulator, inspect that emulator’s controller profile instead of applying browser defaults.
A detected controller is not a second player.
Connect your gamepad, then inspect the mapping in the environment that runs the game. Button letters on an Xbox-style pad do not match PlayStation symbols by position in every configuration.
Detecting a second gamepad does not establish local split-screen support. For playing with friends, use the documented online route.
