By default, Among Us utilizes a touch-like control system on the PC that has players moving and clicking where they want to go with their mouse. Thankfully, you can set the game up to use mouse and keyboard, and doing so is quite easy. In this guide, we’ll break down how to change to keyboard controls in Among Us.
While Among Us defaults to just using your mouse to play on PC, those who want a little more freedom with the control can swap over to a keyboard and mouse hybrid controls scheme.
To change to keyboard controls, players are going to want to head into the Settings from the main menu in Among us. The number of options here are pretty limited, but make sure you’re in the General tab. You should see a section (the very first actually) in here called Controls. To swap to keyboard controls all you need to do is ensure that Mouse+Keyboard is selected in this area.
Now that you’ve got the keyboard controls turned on, let’s go over some handy keybindings to make note of.
