Meccha Chameleon Controls

Start with the controls that decide most rounds: movement, camera lock, paint mode, the eyedropper, pose selection, and voice toggles. Once those feel automatic, hiding spots and hunter routes become much easier to test.

Basic keyboard controls

Use these keys before joining a public room. Movement and camera control keep you alive while you search for a hiding spot, and the lock, pose, paint, and voice keys are the ones beginners miss most often.

Practice before online rooms

Keyboard and mouse are the safest default because painting, camera movement, and pose control need quick precision. If you use Steam Input or a controller, test painting, camera movement, poses, voice chat, and lobby actions in a private room before playing with strangers.

Confirm voice chat and mute keys before joining friends
Use a private room to tune mouse sensitivity and controller mapping
