Keyboard and Mouse

You can play VRChat using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor! No headset required.

Movement is handled via the standard FPS "WASD" setup, with your mouse adjusting your view position. Your head will point in the direction you're looking.

It is not possible to move your arms while in Desktop mode currently.

† RShift + Backtick can be remapped in the launch settings, available by holding Shift while launching VRChat. This must be done on every launch due to a Unity issue. 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.

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