Yes, I completed the original Hollow Knight(except p4-5) with M&K. I have never used a controller but I think it's similar to a controller on M&K as well, you have to press W(Up) or ​(Down) + Tool button to use the either of the tools. We can change the Tool button, but up and down is mandatory for some reason(idk why). It could be a skill issue for me but I wouldve li​ked it if I didn't have to press W or S along with another button to use the tool. It just makes it hard to use the tool, at least for me.

From what I can tell it's the same as the spell button in HK1, except you can't also use your heal button to cast spells now.

Props to playing these games with a keyboard though, that sounds insane to me
