Must you have a game pad to play DMC4 on the PC or can I just use my key board?
Do you need a gamepad?

You can use the keyboard configuration the game has.
Of course, If you are used to controllers, you can buy a gamepad.
I personally find the keyboard more comfortable.

Thanks for the help DA and is there anyway I can change the keyboard configuration to whatever I see fit?

a piece of advice if you are getting a gamepad (if you are using Vista): the ONLY controller/gamepad that works this far (I'd tried 5 of them - one from myself and the rest from my friends) is the Xbox 360 controller for Windows. I only have problem with Dante changing styles - it's a bit too sensitive and you have to practice a bit to press PRECISELY at up/down/left/right to get the style you want or else... 
Logitech has one that mimics the 360 (something called "Chillstream") but there's problem with the left analog stick so Nero/Dante can just WALK in a certain direction - which can screws you up a lot, say, in Beriel's battle. (I ended up returning that and got the 360 gamepad).
The rest [controllers] are those that looks like PS2's (even tried the one that it's a USB wire that converts PS2 dualshock controller to Windows-compatible). Those are the worst - all button configs are messed up. So messed up that I can't even config it back to the way it's supposed to be (e.g. for some reason, the L1 button sends the signal as SELECT, the default button for TAUNT; START is just not available; etc.)
Anyhow, hope you come to a solution soon and enjoy the LDK mode

Woah! Thank you guys for going to so much trouble.
If I can not find the suitable game pad I will use the key board.

you can use a gamepad that works on PC, PS2 and PS3.That's the way I'm playing.

Gamepad is not required but recommended for better gameplay coz you wont go on with combos comfortably without a gamepad

Not really, keyboard does the job quite well, except the only problem is style switching, which i don`t do, so it doesnt matter.
But i would like to try it out with a gamepad though.

I just got DMC4 for pc so I didn't have to hog my brothers PS3 to play this game.
Playing with the keyboard is much tougher then I thought it was going to be and I always play games on PC (but not DMC style type games I guess). I changed the controls straight away and only just lasted the first fight with one little bit of health left.
Being on devil hunter I should of expected a tough deal when I didnt quite know the keyboard controls but it worked on PS3 so I thought it work on here. It didn't
Any PC expert have tips on playing? Im good on the consoles but not so good on this version.
