PC Controls for West Wood

PC is the reference platform for most West Wood tutorials and squad play. Bindings below come from the official Roblox experience description by West Wood Group.

Core bindings

| Action | Key |\n|--------|-----|\n| Drop item | Backspace |\n| Contracts | G |\n| Accessory activation | H |\n| Sprint | Left Shift |\n| Unlock mouse | T |

QOL update bindings (original era)

A later quality-of-life update added PC-first keys documented on QOL Update Notes: E/F interact, Q/R lean, Left Ctrl zoom, 1–4 camera switch, and H as head flashlight in addition to accessories. Verify on any live build — remake may change tables.

Drop (Backspace)

Drop clutter before night chases or when over-looted. Faster inventory means cleaner escapes during break-ins — pair with Hide and Escape.

Contracts (G)

Open immediately after spawn. See Contracts Guide for team workflow.

Accessories (H)

Test flashlights and tools in daylight. Know activation delay before hiding in darkness.

Sprint (Left Shift)

Treat as limited resource — Survive the Night covers budgeting.

Unlock mouse (T)

Use when UI interaction conflicts with camera lock during menus or hiding adjustments.

PC advantage in co-op

Precise callouts plus mouse look help rear-guard players watch streets while looters work interiors — Co-op Tips.

Hardware notes

Headphones strongly recommended — community feedback emphasizes audio cues. Lower mouse sensitivity can help tracking during sprint turns.

Compare platforms

Console and mobile players should read Console and Mobile Controls to translate callouts across devices.

Advanced PC tips

Lower mouse sensitivity during sprint turns. Bind push-to-talk for Discord separately from in-game voice if both are active. Close overlay apps that steal focus from Roblox during hide phases.

PC players recording tutorials for friends should overlay key prompts for contracts and accessory activation — West Wood newcomers consistently forget H and G during first chases.

PC note

Headphones reveal audio cues mobile speakers miss.

Keyboard layout for left-hand dominance

Most players move with WASD and act with left-hand keys (G, H, Shift). Keep fingers resting near G and H during loot so contracts and accessories activate without looking down. Backspace is awkward on some keyboards — consider rebinding drop in Roblox settings if you miss drops during chases.

Mouse unlock during hide phases

T toggles cursor freedom for UI clicks. Practice switching between camera control and menu interaction in daylight. During night, unlocking mouse to read contracts mid-hide can expose you if teammates make noise — agree whether menus are allowed after dusk.

PC performance checklist

Close background capture tools that hook input during horror segments. Set Roblox graphics to a stable frame rate; micro-stutter when sprinting away from break-ins is a common PC death cause. Headphones reveal directional audio that speakers flatten — community feedback consistently ties survival to sound awareness.

Binding reference card

Print or pin this table beside your monitor until bindings are automatic: Drop Backspace, Contracts G, Accessory H, Sprint Left Shift, Unlock mouse T. Cross-link Controls Hub when teaching friends who join mid-campaign.

Full-size keyboard vs laptop

Laptop players with compressed keyboards mis-hit Backspace — use external keyboard for serious co-op nights or rebind drop in Roblox settings.

Weekly drill

Once per week, load a private server and sprint-drill from a known house to store and back without opening menus. Time yourself. Sub-two-minute daylight returns predict night survival because your hands already know the path when fear spikes.
