Stumble Guys keyboard controls on PC: W, A, S and D or the arrow keys move and Space jumps. Press Space again in the air to dive. You can change keys in Settings, Input, Keyboard Bindings.
Stumble Guys only needs a handful of keys, which makes it one of the easiest games to hand to chat. Gifts run, jump and dive your character through the course, and you keep the camera and a hand ready for the finish.

Before playing Stumble Guys with viewers
Use the PC version and start with simple race maps before trying elimination rounds. Rounds are online with other players, so keep viewer control to casual play and keep the camera on your own mouse.
Stumble Guys: default PC keys
Default PC keyboard controls use W, A, S and D or the arrow keys to move and Space to jump. Pressing Space again while you are in the air turns the jump into a dive. Keyboard Bindings under Settings, Input lets you change any key, so check your own keybinds before copying them into TikFinity.

Why these durations suit Stumble Guys
A one-second forward run gets you over a short section of course, while turns and back steps at 400 ms keep corrections small. Jump and dive are both 60 ms Space taps. They share screen 3, so a dive gift sent straight after a jump gift plays in order and has a fair chance of landing in the air.
Connect TikFinity to Stumble Guys
- Open TikFinity Desktop on the PC running Stumble Guys, close the browser version and finish Setup and TikTok login. Capture the game in LIVE Studio or OBS.
- In Actions & Events, create an action with Simulate keystrokes set to W. Turn on game compatibility mode, complete any install prompt and enter 1,000 ms; 1,000 ms = 1 second. Duplicate it for S, A, D and the two Space actions.
- Put W and S on screen 1, A and D on screen 2, and jump and dive on screen 3. Each screen queues on its own, so steering can overlap a forward run. Add each screen URL as a Link source in LIVE Studio or a Browser source in OBS.
- Create a Sending a specific gift event for each gift and attach its action. Keep Repeat with gift combos off and queues short, because rounds are quick and a backlog runs into the next one.
- Press the play icon on the jump action and click into the game within 5 seconds. The Event Simulator does not press keys, so test every action with its play button.
Stumble Guys stream tips
- Dive is simply a second Space press. If a dive gift arrives while you are on the ground, it becomes an ordinary jump.
- A jump gift and a dive gift sent close together are the most fun combo to ask chat for.
- Short forward runs beat long ones on narrow paths, where one extra second takes you off the edge.
- Pause events in the final round if you want a real win, then hand control back for the next show.
- Keep the camera on the mouse yourself so chat can see where each gift sends you.
Frame your Stumble Guys stream
Put the legend at the bottom, away from the player count and round information. Two Space boxes labelled Jump and Dive help viewers see why they are different gifts.
The key boxes use CSS, with no game artwork. Alert display time controls alerts and TTS separately from key holds.
