Shift At Midnight Controls

Keyboard and mouse

Action	Confirmed bind	Evidence note
Move	Not publicly confirmed	Steam’s public app data does not list gameplay keys
Interact or serve	Not publicly confirmed	No current official mapping was captured
Ask a customer question	Not publicly confirmed	The action exists; the assigned key is not published in the cited source
Open or use the computer	Not publicly confirmed	The official description confirms computer cross-checking, not its input
Place traps or barricade	Not publicly confirmed	The actions are official; the keys are not
Push-to-talk	Not publicly confirmed	Proximity chat is listed, but no voice key is published

The Windows platform listing is not a substitute for an input chart. Check the current build’s own settings or on-screen prompts rather than copying an uncited mapping.

Controller

Question	Public answer as of 2026-08-13	Meaning
Does Steam list Full Controller Support?	No such category appeared in the captured API response	This is an absence in one public field, not proof that all controllers fail
Does Steam list Partial Controller Support?	No such category appeared in the captured API response	Do not promote the absence into an unsupported compatibility verdict
Is an Xbox version listed?	Yes	Console availability still does not publish each button mapping
Are interact, sprint, crouch, reload, or voice buttons sourced here?	No	Do not guess them

Steam Deck

Evidence	Status	Safe interpretation
shift at midnight steam deck appears in Google Suggest	Observed query association	Players search for the device; this does not prove support
shift at midnight steam deck controls appears in Google Suggest	Observed query association	It supports the need for this page, not a button layout
Valve compatibility category	Playable, not Verified	Manual input adjustments may be required
Default controller configuration	Not fully functional	Test interactions and consult Steam Input rather than assuming a complete layout
Controller glyphs	Do not match Steam Deck	The displayed button symbols may not match the device
Text input	Does not automatically invoke the keyboard	Open the on-screen keyboard manually when a field needs text
Interface text and default performance	Legible and performant in Valve’s report	These findings are not a fixed frame-rate guarantee

What to check in the current client

1. Record the platform and input device before changing anything.
2. Read the current build’s displayed action names and bindings if the settings screen provides them.
3. Test one interaction in a safe station task before a customer or survival phase.
4. Keep gameplay mapping, Steam Input remapping, and device compatibility as separate questions.
5. If reporting a missing bind, include the exact action and value rather than saying only that “controls do not work.”

For the actions those inputs are meant to perform, use the beginner guide. The gas-pump evidence page explains why no fuel key is guessed.
