Crowd Control's Keyboard & Mouse Disrupts let your viewers send, block, and even remap your inputs live, on any game.

What Input Disrupts Let Viewers Do

Viewers can trigger a wide range of input-based effects, including:

  • Sending specific key presses or mouse movements

  • Blocking your game's movement buttons entirely

  • Forcing your mouse to spin your camera

  • Reversing your controls

  • Changing your whole keyboard layout to DVORAK

Each input type comes with a long list of fine-tuning options, so you're never stuck with an all-or-nothing effect.

Building Your Own Input Disrupts

You've got three ways to build these out:

  1. One by one using individual input options

  2. Record and trim with the built-in timeline editor

  3. Start from a preset, including the pre-made Input Disrupt Pack ready to use right away

Keeping Yourself Safe While Streaming

Handing viewers control of your keyboard and mouse sounds risky, and it would be without safeguards. Crowd Control's default App Rules block keyboard disrupts from interacting with sensitive apps like browsers, streaming software, or password managers.

On top of that, you can:

  • Whitelist specific windows you want affected

  • Add additional windows you want blocked

This keeps chaos contained to your game, not your desktop.

Getting Started

The fastest way in is the pre-made Input Disrupt Pack, built to get you running without configuring anything from scratch. From there, you can layer in custom inputs as you get comfortable with what your viewers enjoy most.

For a full breakdown of how disrupts work across Crowd Control, check out the Disrupts guide.

Keyboard and Mouse Disrupts mean any game can become truly interactive, not just the ones built for it. Good luck out there.
