Controls: Difference between revisions

From VRChat Wiki
(Building out a unified table for the different input types. In the future will build it out further and condense the other tables as necessary)

VRChat supports multiple platforms across several different types of display and controllers. Some of these controls can be configured in the [[Settings|Settings menu]]. Depending on the platform you are using VRChat on, you may be able to customize controls further by using the settings menu for your device.

Template:Noticebox/official Controls are arrays of inputs on controllers and devices to navigate VRChat. VRChat supports several operating systems, with multiple combinations of devices and controllers. Some of these controls can be configured in the Settings Menu. Depending on the platform you are using VRChat on, you may be able to customize controls further by using the Settings menu in VRChat, or your device's dashboard.

The Settings Menu within VRChat also details the button mappings for the device you’re currently using, but below are the default configurations:

Primary Controls

These are the basic controls for navigating and interacting within VRChat that apply to the different input types:

Action Keyboard/Mouse VR Controller Gamepad (Xbox) Mobile
Move WASD Left Thumbstick Virtual Thumbstick
Turn Mouse Move Right Thumbstick Hold and drag screen
Jump Space A (right hand, bottom button) A Jump Button
Crouch C −− Jump Button (Hold)
Prone / Crawl Z
Sprint Left Shift −−
Use / Interact E Trigger / Index finger pull Trigger Tap
Grab / Pick Up Left Mouse Button Grip / Middle finger pull
Quick Menu Escape B / Y (either hand, top button) Menu Button
Action Menu R B / Y (Hold) (either hand, top button) Right Thumbstick (Press) Menu Button (Hold)
Mute/Unmute V X (left hand, bottom button) Y Microphone Button

Additional Controls

VR Controls

VRChat officially supports the following headsets and their corresponding control schemes.

  • Meta Quest headsets
    • Meta Quest 2
    • Meta Quest 3
    • Meta Quest Pro
  • HTC Vive XR Elite
  • Pico 4

In addition, VRChat supports these headsets in PCVR mode, where your headset is connected to a Windows gaming PC.

  • All SteamVR-compatible headsets, including (but not limited to)
    • Valve Index
    • HTC Vive series
    • Bigscreen Beyond
    • Tethered Pimax HMDs
    • Any Steam Link compatible HMD (Meta Quest series)
    • Any Virtual Desktop compatible HMD
    • Most ALVR compatible HMDs

On PC, we also support gamepad input via Steam’s Input manager.

Controller Buttons

Most VR controllers are laid out similarly. Each controller has a joystick and two main buttons, a system button, a trigger, and a grip button.

Button Assignment
A - right hand, bottom button Jump
B - right hand, top button Press: Quick Menu Hold: Action Menu
X - left hand, button button Press: Mute/Unmute
Y - left hand, top button Press: Quick Menu Hold: Action Menu
Grip - Middle finger pull Pick up
Trigger - Index finger pull Use
Right Thumbstick Turn
Left Thumbstick Move / Locomote
Both Triggers + Both Menu Buttons Enable Safe Mode

Hand Tracking

There is a Official VRChat source tutorial world to learn hand tracking in a kinesthetic environment!

To use hand tracking, just put down your controllers and put your hands out so the Quest hand tracking system kicks in. Of course, make sure you have the system enabled in the Quest settings.

To move around the world, hold your left hand up, palm facing your face. Touch your middle finger to your thumb in a “pinch” motion, and a small blue sphere will appear. While still pinching, move your fingers away from that sphere, and you'll move in that direction!

To turn left and right, do the same motion with your middle finger to your thumb, but with your right hand. While still pinching, move your fingers left or right. You'll turn!

You can turn with Comfort Turning (snap turning) on or off. If you have Comfort Turning on, you'll need to move your pinched finger “past” the turn point each time you turn. It might be easier to use this locomotion method with Comfort Turning disabled in your settings.

Pull up your VRChat Quick Menu by “pinching” your index finger and your thumb on your left hand. This is a “default” Oculus gesture, you'll see a little menu icon float over your hand and “fill up” as you long-pinch. To interact with the UI, point at it with your hand, and select things by pinching your index and thumb together.

You can mute yourself by holding your thumb and ring finger together for a moment on your left hand.

Desktop Controls

You can play VRChat using a keyboard and mouse.

Movement is handled via the standard FPS “WASD” setup. Your mouse adjusts your view position. Your head points in the direction you’re looking.

< and > Rotate the player left and right in.

J / L Adjusts yaw of the held object (rotate along Y axis)
U / O Adjusts roll of the held object (rotate along Z axis)
Mouse Wheel Moves the held object forward/back (translate along Z axis)
Middle Mouse Button (Hold) Adjusts object rotation by moving the mouse

* Use left shift to control your left hand, use right shift to control your right hand.

† On a standard English US QWERTY layout keyboard, “backtick” is the key in the top left, next to the 1 key. It shares a key with the tilde (~) character.

Debug options are disabled unless you launch VRChat with the --enable-debug-gui launch option.

Mobile Controls

On the left side of the screen is a virtual joystick, which will move your avatar around. Tapping and dragging on the screen will move your point of view. Double tapping and holding anywhere on the screen will let you walk around and move your viewpoint simultaneously.

The right side of the screen has buttons for jumping, picking up items, and interacting with the world. Holding down the button will allow for further options, such as an action menu, or crouching.

Tapping on a player or a portal will instantly bring up a secondary menu.

Gamepad Controls

You can play VRChat using a gamepad on PC and Mobile.

Typical controllers supported include Xbox controllers, Playstation controllers, and Nintendo Switch controllers. The below table uses the "Xbox" controller layout for reference.

Buttons (Based on Xbox Controller) Assignment
A Makes player jump (if it is enabled in the room)
B / X Drop pickup
Y (Hold) (If using push to talk) Enables microphone as long as it’s held
