LOTR - Return to Moria Controls & Keybinds: PC

In LOTR: Return to Moria, you'll fight enemies, explore cavernous ruins, and build up new fortifications. That may sound like a lot, but the controls are simple and should feel familiar to fans of survival games. If you're playing on PC, you'll naturally have more options and controls than on consoles. However, you can rebind your controls no matter which platform you use. Even on console, you'll find that some controls and settings don't have keybinds by default. You can assign buttons to these prompts however you like, but make sure you don't accidentally overwrite some of the game's essential controls. If things don't feel quite right, mix around the controls however you want. All of the controls listed below are the game's default settings for each platform.
