You can enable hairworks on AMD gpu without a major performance hit or stability issues by opening CCC, create a new profile for the witcher 3 executable. Turn on application forced tesselation and set it to either 4x or 8x depending on your system. Save, and done.

You can also lower the MSAA level on hair. It's at 8xMSAA by default. As for tessellation, from pictures I've seen, I wouldn't recommend setting it at anything lower than 8x as it completely messes up the hair and at that point you're just better with HairWorks entirely off.

8xTessellation + 4xMSAA should work great for most people.

I was crashing like crazy but last night shut down MSI Afterburner and haven't crashed since.

strangely enough, although i have a semi damaged r9 290 thati spent months of making it work properly, black screens and game crashes down to 1 crash per week, in Witcher 3 i have had no crashes . even with everything in ultra.

did not "fix" the keyboard issues.
you can rebind the locked options from the menu now but it does not entirely work. you still have to use the default keys to close any of those menus you open or navigate through them. also a few of the actions, though rebound, still require the default button to function in-game. a terrible idea by CdProjektRed for both Witcher 2 & 3 to hardbind important functions to awkward keys.

Why?... some games play better on a gamepad and others play better on mouse and keyboard.

there are some console ports and others that still work better with gamepad. Dark Souls, Assassin's Creeds, and a few other action games i've played. but if they're correctly designed for PC the key\mouse controls and options are always better for me.
nothing bothers me more in games than playing with a gamepad and having to give up control of the camera to do most actions. that is the worst design i've ever encountered for controls.
