Hi @hasty verge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

Based on the official VRChat controls documentation, pressing W once should move the player forward — there is no mention of needing to double-click W to walk. [Keyboard and Mouse]

Your friend's issue of needing to double-click W to walk is not a documented or intended behavior. This could be caused by a few things worth checking:

  • Auto-Walk may be interfering: On desktop, double-tapping and holding a direction can trigger auto-walk in some contexts. Your friend may have accidentally enabled a related setting.
  • Sticky keys or keyboard issue: A hardware or OS-level "Sticky Keys" or similar accessibility feature could be affecting input behavior.
  • Keybinding conflict: Another application or overlay might be intercepting the first keypress.

The knowledge sources do not explicitly mention a "double-click W to walk" behavior on desktop, so I'd recommend your friend check their keyboard settings, any running overlays (like Steam Input), and their in-game control settings under the VRChat Main Menu > Controls section.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
