Game Controls
From Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki
Navigating through Pirates of the Caribbean Online is easy. Use the mouse to control the game's 'camera' or view, by holding down the right mouse button. You can also use either the WASD keys or the arrow keys to move your Pirate around.
[edit] Moving
A pirate won't go far, if you don't get them moving!

| W or Up Arrow | Move Forward |
| A or Left Arrow | Turn Left |

Game Tip: To keep running while you chat, press the R key to Auto-run.

[edit] Gamepad?
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Online was NOT meant to be played on a game controller. But, some controllers do allow a player to assign commands to their buttons.

"I use a Microsoft Sidewinder and a program called JoyToKey to map the keys. I enjoy it much more because I was never a big fan of WASD I've used it with several Online games and several Offline games & never had a problem with it. If your get tired of the keyboard, check it out. You can pick up a Sidewinder for about $20 bucks & the Joytokey program is FREE!"
