Clean the Countries Controls Finder
Pick your device, read one table, go back to the pile. Official Karpath binds only.
This is the short, filter-by-device version of Controls. Karpath Games published the PC and controller sheet on the Roblox page. Mobile is the same verbs without physical keys. HUD buttons are listed because they steal taps during FILL timers.
If you are on PC
- Pickup / Place: E or Click
- Drop: F
- Switch tool: number keys
- Upgrade / equipment: T
- Special: G
- Clean: hold click
Click is tap versus hold. Tap places. Hold mops. Drop with F if a hold started by accident.
If you are on controller
- Pickup / Place: RT
- Drop: LT tap
- Clean: LT hold
- Upgrade: Y
LT tap versus LT hold is the entire console skill curve. Practice it in spawn before a leaderboard run.
If you are on mobile
- Pickup / Place: tap piece, tap shelf
- Clean: hold on the floor
- Upgrade / Shop / Inventory / Pets: HUD buttons (no T key)
- Camera freeze: unequip cleaner in Inventory, pan, re-equip to mop a patch
Third person. Always. Continent signs are above you.
HUD that is not a bind but blocks input
| Button | When to touch it |
|---|---|
| Shop | After FILL complete |
| Upgrade | Once after pass-1 Cash |
| Inventory | When place stops working |
| Pets | After a comfortable FILL 25 |
| FILL timers | Read at spawn, then ignore until 0:30 |
There is still no verified Codes button. When it appears, how to redeem gets the screenshot. Do not download a script to invent one (scripts).
Quick diagnosis
- Cannot pick up: you are on the clean tool. Inventory, then numbers / HUD swap.
- Cannot place: wrong continent sign, or still mopping. Read the piece prompt.
- Cannot drop on console: you are holding LT. Tap.
- Cannot pan on mobile: cleaner stole the swipe. Unequip.
- G does nothing: empty charge or empty tile. Save it for a buried cluster (How to Clean Faster).
Printable one-liner
PC: E place, F drop, hold-click mop, T shop, G special. Controller: RT place, LT tap drop, LT hold mop, Y shop. Mobile: tap place, hold mop, HUD for shop, unequip to pan.
Tape that to the monitor. Then open Getting Started or skip to a timed run if you already know silhouettes (How to Play).
Co-op does not change this table. It only changes who walks which aisle (players). Share the one-liner in party chat instead of a random Discord we have not verified (links).
Official source for the PC and controller rows: the Clean the Countries Roblox description, place 93529731049611. If a launch notes patch strikes a bind, this finder will strike it too.

Come back here only when a patch changes T or Y. The rest of a session belongs in the hall: giants first, crumbs second, mop last. If a friend asks for binds in party chat, paste the one-liner for their device instead of a screenshot of the whole wiki. That keeps FILL timers moving and keeps fake Discord control bots out of the conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Which table should I read?
Only your device. PC, controller, and mobile do the same verbs with different fingers.
Why is Shop in a controls finder?
Because tapping Shop during FILL 2 is how records die. It is a HUD trap, not a movement bind.
Is mobile official?
Karpath printed PC and controller. Mobile uses the same pickup, drop, and hold-to-clean verbs through the touch HUD.
Where is the long explanation?
On the Controls guide. This finder is the cheat sheet.
