The full starting layout

This setup keeps directional movement on A/D while moving the four frequent action inputs into one compact right-hand cluster.

  • Move left / right: A / D
  • Grapple: Num 7
  • Slide: Num 8
  • Use item: Num 9
  • Jump: Num 0
  • Boost: Space
  • Taunt: any comfortable spare key

Treat it as a starting point

“Best” depends on your keyboard, hand position, and whether your numpad supports comfortable simultaneous presses. Keep the action grouping, then move jump or boost if your hand strains or inputs conflict.

Do not use first-game screenshots

Search results frequently mix SpeedRunners and SpeedRunners 2. The labels on this page are tied to the sequel guide and the current launch build, not the 2016 game.
