PC Controls
Mouse and keyboard controls for Dig All Dinos on PC — movement, digging, cleaning, shop shortcuts, and efficiency tips.
Playing Dig All Dinos on PC (Windows, Mac, or Roblox desktop) gives the most precise camera and menu control — ideal for long volcanic cave grinds and fast fossil cleaning. This page documents default mouse and keyboard bindings, efficiency habits, and how PC inputs interact with Instant Clean and Auto Sell. For other devices, return to the controls overview or see mobile and console pages.
Default PC bindings (typical Roblox layout)
Wrekt Studios builds on standard Roblox third-person controls. Expect the following unless you remap in the Roblox client:
| Action | Default input |
|---|---|
| Move | W A S D |
| Jump | Space |
| Camera | Mouse movement |
| Interact / dig | Left mouse click on rock or prompt |
| Secondary interact | E when proximity prompts appear |
| Shift lock (optional) | Shift — helps line up digs in tight caves |
| Menu / shop | Click UI buttons; some stations open on walk-up |
| Inventory / sell | Click UI panels |
Exact prompt keys can vary by station version — always read on-screen prompts when Wrekt Studios updates UI.
Digging and breaking rocks
Click-to-interact is the PC staple. Position your avatar so the rock highlight appears, then click to swing your equipped tool. Faster tools from the shop reduce animation lock — upgrade before blaming mouse speed.
Volcanic cave nodes sometimes sit on uneven geometry. Toggle Shift Lock to keep the camera steady while strafing with A/D. This reduces mis-clicks on adjacent low-value rocks when you target A/S-tier fossil nodes.
Cleaning fossils
Without Instant Clean, cleaning uses hold-click or repeated click mini-actions depending on fossil tier. PC players can rhythm-click with minimal travel time if stations are positioned efficiently.
With Instant Clean, cleaning becomes a single interaction — still initiated via click or E. PC benefits most in batch sessions: queue multiple fossils, clean in place, walk to combine.
Combine and museum flows
Combine stations open via proximity + click. Drag or click fossils in UI grids — mouse precision helps select correct dinosaur set pieces when inventory is full.
Keep one hand on movement keys while clicking UI with the mouse to minimize downtime between cave exits and crafting.
Selling and inventory
Manual sell: open vendor UI, click items. Auto Sell filters junk while you continue digging — verify settings after patches so rare fossils are not misclassified.
Inventory cap hits end runs early. Bind mentally: sell D/F tier before re-entering deep caves — see fossils and rocks for sell priorities.
Shop and upgrades
Shop menus are click-driven. Compare tool tiers side-by-side on wide monitors. Mid-session upgrade stops feel smoother on PC because mouse navigation beats controller cursor speed for many players.
Cross-reference shop & upgrades before buying — shovel DPS and carry weight often beat cosmetic picks.
PC-only efficiency tips
- Lower graphics if frame drops cause input lag in dense cave instances.
- Fullscreen borderless reduces accidental tab-out during click spam.
- Zoom camera for cleaning UI; zoom out for navigation between dig clusters.
- Use chat commands only from trusted sources — see official links for real community hubs, not exploit scripts.
- Pair control mastery with tier list priorities so inputs feed high-value fossils, not surface junk.
Switching from mobile or console
Players migrating to PC should spend one short session relearning dig distance — mouse aim reaches nodes slightly differently than touch or stick camera. Once adjusted, PC often yields the highest amber income per hour for active farmers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What key digs on PC?
Left mouse click on highlighted rocks is primary. Some prompts use E for interact when near stations or NPCs.
Should I enable Shift Lock?
Many PC diggers enable it in volcanic caves for straighter movement while clicking nodes. Try both and keep what reduces mis-clicks.
Does Instant Clean remove clicking?
It removes the clean mini-game timing, not the interact click. You still initiate clean actions manually or via prompt.
Can I play Dig All Dinos on Mac?
Yes via Roblox desktop client. Controls mirror Windows — WASD, mouse camera, click to interact.
Why do my clicks miss rocks?
Camera angle and avatar placement matter. Step closer, use Shift Lock, and ensure the rock highlight appears before clicking.
