Murder Rivals Controls
Complete Murder Rivals controls reference for PC and mobile. Default keybinds, touch layout, settings menu, and optimization tips for 한국머더.
Last updated: June 2026
Mastering Murder Rivals controls separates reactive Heroes from eliminated Innocents. Whether you play on PC with keyboard and mouse or on mobile with touch input, understanding default bindings and Settings options gives you a measurable edge in this 12-player murder-mystery game by 한국머더 (Place ID 5720801512).
Murder Rivals uses standard Roblox locomotion with mode-specific actions for stabbing, shooting, interacting, and equipping cosmetics. Controls feel familiar if you have played Murder Mystery 2, but sensitivity tuning and mobile layout differ enough to warrant dedicated study.
Platform Overview
| Platform | Input Method | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| PC | Keyboard + mouse | Sheriff aim, precise movement |
| Mobile / tablet | Touch + virtual buttons | Casual play, trading |
| Low-end PC | Reduced graphics settings | Stable FPS in crowded lobbies |

Universal Actions
These actions apply across Standard, Assassin, Ghost, Duel, and Five-Minute modes:
| Action | PC (default) | Mobile |
|---|---|---|
| Move | WASD | Virtual joystick |
| Look | Mouse | Drag screen |
| Primary action | Left click | Attack button |
| Jump | Space | Jump button |
| Interact / pickup | E | Interact button |
| Sprint | Shift (if enabled) | Sprint toggle |
Sheriff and Hero players use primary action to fire the gun. Murderer players use it to knife victims at close range. Innocents use interact to collect coins and pick up the Sheriff’s dropped gun to become Hero.
Role-Specific Control Notes
Innocent
Focus on camera awareness — constantly sweep corners especially on dense maps like Hospital and Office. No attack button needed unless you become Hero.
Sheriff
Aim discipline is critical. One innocent kill ends your round. Tune sensitivity in Settings and study Sheriff Aim Guide.
Murderer
Knife range is short — movement and positioning beat button mashing. Learn map chokepoints on our Maps hub.
Hero
Pickup timing uses the interact binding. Practice grabbing the gun before the Murderer closes distance.
Settings Menu Essentials
Open Settings via the gear icon:
- Codes — Redeem S3R4PH and other promos
- Audio — Music and SFX; Radio gamepass (150 R$) adds features

Optimization Tips
PC players: Cap unnecessary background apps, use wired mouse, moderate DPI (400–800 common for Sheriff mains). Mobile players: Enable Roblox shift lock if available, enlarge touch zones in Roblox settings, reduce graphics for stable frame rate during 12-player rounds.
