'''Controls''' are arrays of inputs on controllers and devices to navigate [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. VRChat supports several operating systems, with multiple combinations of devices and controllers. Some of these controls can be configured in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Controls|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.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The Settings Menu within VRChat details the button mappings for the device you’re currently using. Below are the default configurations:

====Hand tracking====
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
There is a {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_8bcf07ab-5f8f-40cb-9289-b2eaad15ab98|tutorial world}} to learn hand tracking in a kinesthetic environment!
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
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.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To move around the [[Special:MyLanguage/Worlds|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!
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
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!
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
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.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
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.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
You can mute yourself by holding your thumb and ring finger together for a moment on your left hand.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
===Desktop===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
You can play VRChat using a keyboard and mouse.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Movement is handled via the standard FPS “WASD” setup. Your mouse adjusts your view position. Your head points in the direction you’re looking.
