Once you’re on a character, you can then press escape and look into changing your Lost Ark mouse settings. To do so, you need to do the following process.
- Log into a character.
- Press escape
- Click on the hotkeys tab and then select basic controls.

Thus, unticking the option make left-click the attack options. Depending on which toggle you have selected, the mouse buttons essentially swap over. If you reflect back to when you made your first character in the test zone, the game offered several different controls. It effectively swaps between those different default control styles.
If you’re still not happy with your controls, you can still change your mouse controls in Lost Ark even more. For example, League of Legends players may find that attacking with the A key is more natural for them, as A keys are naturally the attack move. If that’s the case, you will need to modify the ‘Attack (keyboard option)’.

To find the location of your skill hotkeys, simply click on the skill tab under the hotkeys menu. From there, you can change any of the bindings that you want. You can also change your items keybinds under the item category. Feel free to change your mount button to what you use in FFXIV or WoW, rather than the default F1 or 5-9 keybinds. ETC.
