Reach check · your keyboard, this game

Can your board actually play Fall Guys?

Every default bind, re-scored against the keyboard you own. Distance is measured from the left hand resting on WASD, because that is where it stays while you play.

W / A / S / D Move
Space Jump
Left Shift Dive
Left Ctrl (hold) Grab / hold
Mouse Camera
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 Emote 1–4
Tab Scoreboard / spectate list
A / D (while spectating) Change spectate target
Escape Pause / menu

On the keys: your hand is already there
Comfortable: a finger moves, the hand does not
Stretch: the hand lifts, movement wobbles
Off movement: you let go of A and D to press it
Not on this board: the key does not physically exist

Reach uses the same key geometry as BindIQ, which can rebuild the whole layout for you once you know what is out of reach. Mouse buttons always count as reachable — your right hand is already there.

Quick answers

How do I dive in Fall Guys?

Press Left Shift on keyboard or Square/X on controller. Jump first and dive at the peak for the longest reach; diving onto a ledge grabs it automatically.

How do I grab another player?

Hold Left Ctrl (R2/RT) while touching them. Grabbing slows both of you; release before they turn or you will be pulled.

How do I climb a ledge?

Jump toward the ledge and hold Grab; your bean pulls up if the ledge is low enough. Dive-grab works for slightly higher ledges.

Can I rebind the keys?

Yes, in Settings › Controls. Many keyboard players move Dive to a mouse button so jump-dive is a two-hand motion.

Why does my bean stumble?

Landing from a height or being hit by a moving obstacle knocks you down. Dive just before impact to shorten the stumble.
