Caution: this button does not confirm you if you had really wanted to do so!

This button will reset all bindings to their defaults listed above.

Trivia

For mod select:

  • The mania xK mods are not listed there.
    • You can press keys 3 to 9 to enable the xK mods.
  • Not all mod icons have a keyboard shortcut, such as:
    • 1K
    • 2K
    • Random
    • Co-op
    • Target Practice

History

  • The 1K and 2K mod icons once had a keyboard shortcut, 1 and 2 respectively.
    • These key bindings were removed because they conflicted with the keyboard navigation keys
      (pressing 1 would deselect the mod icons and 2 would exit the mods menu).
