Keyboard and Mouse[edit]

Configure Bindings[edit]

Default keyboard and mouse controls for all six games; this also included the key binding information of the configuration file.

The configuration file information.

The file name is GameUserSettings.ini and the file is located:

Microsoft Store C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\
Steam C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\

In the file, the main keyboard and mouse bindings for six games are…

Cyan

In the Halo Reach (MCC) settings menu, there are 51 input actions; apparently, in the configuration file, there are 66. All six games have 66 in the file. Below, the Xs mean they aren't in-game settings; almost all of the Xs don't do anything in any built-in map. Not to be confused with 0 counting as 1.

Green

These green numbers are the only things that can be edited in the file; they are "decimal values", which are key and mouse button codes instead of their names; here is the list of key and mouse button number code details.
Editing the configuration file is an alternate way to change bindings in-game settings, but the configuration file isn't user-friendly; it can still be edited with a text editor application.
Just make sure you don't save while MCC is running.

Magenta

In the settings menu, MCC only supports secondary key binding; apparently, in the configuration file, there are more than two key bindings (Five Key Bindings). However, these extra key bindings are lacking for the reason shown below:

Game Primary Key Binding
VirtualKeyCodes[0]=		 Secondary Key Binding
VirtualKeyCodes[1]=		 Tertiary Key Binding
VirtualKeyCodes[2]=		 Quaternary Key Binding
VirtualKeyCodes[3]=		 Quinary Key Binding
VirtualKeyCodes[4]=
Halo: Reach Yes No
Halo: Combat Evolved Yes Secondary, tertiary, quaternary, or quinary key bindings—therefore, it's like the game supports secondary key binding.
Halo 2 (Classic) Yes
Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer Yes No

Input Action[edit]

In an older version of MCC, when the keyboard & mouse were a feature for the collection, the C key used to be used for picking up weapons in Halo: Combat Evolved but without having to hold it for a short second, unlike "ACTION," because Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port) featured an input action called "EXCHANGE WEAPON," and the anniversary version was based on the PC port, not the Xbox version. In the latest version of MCC, GameKeyboardMouseMappings[13]=(AbstractButton=13, which is bound by the C key by default; it's not "EXCHANGE WEAPON" anymore.[1]
