Murder Mystery 2 Controls

Overview

Murder Mystery 2 controls vary depending on your platform and assigned role. Because Roblox routes inputs differently across devices, players should expect distinct keybinds for PC, touch inputs for mobile, and dedicated mappings for Xbox controllers. This reference covers the confirmed inputs for the Murderer and Sheriff, along with platform compatibility notes.

PC Controls & Keybinds

On PC, offensive actions are primarily mouse-driven. When playing as the Murderer, you eliminate targets by pressing the left mouse button to stab. The Sheriff uses the identical left-click input to fire their weapon.

The Murderer’s knife is automatically handed to the player 10 seconds after the match begins. You can manually switch to or re-equip the knife by pressing the `1` key. Throwing the knife is bound to the `E` key. Community testing also shows that holding `E` or using a right-click will trigger the throw, which can help adjust the projectile's arc for hitting distant targets. *(Note: The single canonical throw binding has not been confirmed by an official source, so input behavior may vary slightly across client updates.)*

Mobile Controls

Mobile players rely on touch inputs rather than keyboard shortcuts. As the Murderer, you can eliminate an Innocent or Sheriff by tapping the screen to stab. Alternatively, simply running into a player will trigger an auto-stab, allowing for quick close-range eliminations without precise tapping. The Sheriff’s shooting mechanics on mobile follow standard Roblox touch-to-fire behavior, with button overlays handled by the platform’s default UI.

Xbox Controller & Bluetooth Compatibility

Murder Mystery 2 fully supports Xbox controllers, with dedicated inputs mapped for equipping the knife, throwing it, and stabbing. While the exact face buttons are not officially documented, the game recognizes controller layouts for all three core Murderer actions.

Players using a PC can connect an Xbox controller via Bluetooth without issue. However, the MM2 Wiki explicitly notes that PS4 Bluetooth controllers do not register controller inputs in-game. If your controller isn’t responding, verify that you are using an Xbox-compatible layout or switch to mouse and keyboard.

Keybind Limitations & Community Notes

All documented controls for Murder Mystery 2 come from community-contributed resources, as the developers have not published an official keybind reference. The current shortcut list includes 8 total mappings: 5 general PC inputs and 3 Xbox controller actions.

Several common quality-of-life functions, such as sprinting, opening the inventory, or activating emotes, are not covered in available documentation. Players should rely on the inputs that feel most consistent with their current Roblox client version, and monitor community updates for any future keybind revisions.
