Black Beacon Free Look Mode: How to Control Your View with the Mouse Cursor

Black Beacon is one of the most popular games right now, but it’s not without its quirks. One common issue many PC players face is the lack of a built-in toggle for mouse look or free look. Also, you’re stuck clicking the left mouse button over and over just to perform normal attacks, which can easily lead to hand cramps during long sessions. If you’ve been dealing with these issues and looking for a fix, you’re in the right place, we’ve got just the solution for you. Let’s check it out! 

 

Two Solutions, What Works?

To fix this issue in Black Beacon, you have two main options:

1. AutoHotkey script

2. Playing Black Beacon on LDPlayer

The first option will fix the free look issue with minor inconvenience like stressing your CPU, however the second solution will give you an overall smoother and more fun experience. So let’s start by looking at the AutoHotkey script that simply solves the free look toggle problem.

 

Using an AutoHotkey Script

This fix was discovered by a player, and we've checked it ourselves to make sure it's safe and works as intended. If you're curious, you can check out their Reddit post [here].

So, to use this fix, you’ll first need to install AutoHotkey. Grab the latest version from the official site.
Then download and unzip this file: AutoHotkey Script Download.
Run the .ahk script inside. 

Here’s what it does:

Toggle Free Look with CapsLock

• Pressing CapsLock switches you into Action Camera mode:

  • Hides your system cursor

  • Recenters your mouse to the middle of the game window

  • Holds down the left mouse button to simulate mouse-look mode

• Pressing CapsLock again exits the mode:

  • Releases the left click

  • Restores your system cursor

  • Shows a notification (TrayTip) confirming you're back in Normal Mode

Left Click Behavior Changes Based on Mode

• When in Action Mode (toggle = 1):

  • Holding left click also holds down the key "0", making continuous attacks easier

• In Normal Mode:

  • Left click works normally (single click or hold)

Edge Detection

• A background timer checks every 50ms if your mouse moves too far left/right

• If it does, the script recenters the mouse and re-engages the left click, keeping your camera control smooth

Failsafe Reset (Esc Key)

• Pressing Esc will instantly:

  • Exit Action Mode

  • Release any held keys

  • Recenter the mouse

  • Show the cursor

  • Display a “Reset to Normal Mode” message

Auto Cleanup

• If the script crashes or you close it, it makes sure your mouse isn’t stuck in an invisible or held state

Downside?

This script works really well, but it constantly checks your mouse state and simulates inputs, which can cause higher CPU usage. Over time, that could lead to more heat and wear on your system. That’s why the second method is not just better, it’s smarter for long sessions.

 

The Better Way: Play Black Beacon on LDPlayer

When you play Black Beacon on PC using LDPlayer, you don’t need any extra software. LDPlayer has built-in support for free look/mouse look mode, plus some seriously helpful features that make gameplay smoother:

• Integrated directional skill casting using Mage Keys

• One-click mouse mode switch

• One button Keyboard macros for perfect skill combos

• Most controls are already pre-configured!

• And if you want to change them, you’ve got full key remapping support 

Ready to enjoy a hassle-free Black Beacon experience? Here's how to set it up:

 

How to Set Up LDPlayer for Black Beacon

1. Head to LDPlayer.net and download the latest version. Install it on your PC.

2. Open LDPlayer and launch the Google Play Store from the App folder.

3. Sign in with your Google account and search for Black Beacon. Download and install it.

4. Once installed, launch the game. You’ll see the default key controls displayed on your screen.

5. If you want to control the camera with your mouse, make sure to enable Free Look Mode in the game itself.

6. Then in LDPlayer, go to Keymap settings > Keymap scheme and select the one named "Free Look" to match. This setup allows you to smoothly toggle between mouse look and free look just by pressing the “Ctrl” key.

 

Want to customize them?

• Click the keyboard icon on the right LDPlayer toolbar.

• Select the control you want to change, then press the key you want to assign.

• For mouse look toggle, Ctrl is already set as default.

To use directional skill casting:

• Press the assigned skill key
  
  

• While holding it down, move your mouse to aim
  
  

• If it’s a directional skill, you’ll see an indicator showing the area the skill will hit, so you can aim perfectly

 

Less Stress with Keyboard Macro Commands

One of the key elements in Black Beacon is its combo system. It revolves around fast character switching, precise skill execution, and chaining moves during Burst Mode, where cooldowns are nearly zero. Timing and order matter a lot, so misfiring or missing a switch can easily mess up your damage output.

Instead of trying to hit everything manually, you can use LDPlayer’s keyboard macro commands to create a smooth, pre-set combo loop that plays out perfectly, especially during Burst Mode. 

Here’s an example macro for a Florence-focused combo, assuming she’s your main DPS, with quick switches to Ereshan for synergy boosts. These macros can do a lot more than just simple combos—learn all about their potential in our Advanced Macro Command Guide.

 

Conclusion

Whether you go with the AutoHotkey method or jump into LDPlayer for the full experience, getting smooth control over Free Look mode in Black Beacon makes a huge difference. And with keyboard macros in LDPlayer, you can unlock next-level gameplay with precise combos and seamless movement. No more finger cramps, just clean, efficient action.
