The tutorial at the start of Enter the Gungeon gives you a good idea of what all the controls are and how you actually play the game. Although it’s likely that you will forget 1 or 2 of the controls and have to resort to checking a post like this!
Thankfully, Enter the Gungeon doesn’t have a lot of controls, making it not so complicated to play. You can also choose to play the game with a controller such as the Xbox One Controller on PC. This may be preferable to some, and can be configured in the settings menu.

Below, you will find a list of controls, key bindings and settings for Enter the Gungeon. If you want to check out some more guides, PwrDown has you covered here.
