Default keyboard and controller bindings for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Edmund McMillen and Nicalis's twin-stick roguelike. Isaac walks with one hand and fires tears in four directions with the other, so the layout splits movement, shooting, bombs, the active item and pocket consumables across both.
