Controls and Accessibility Guide

Setting up Dice Hoarder controls before your first shift saves a surprising amount of fumbling. The shop asks you to handle thousands of dice, inspect colors and materials, and rebuild complete sets, so every small input decision compounds. Good Dice Hoarder controls also make the cozy loop calmer: you spend less time fighting the camera and more time matching the right percentile die, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20. Whether you play with keyboard and mouse or a controller, the goal is the same: make pickup, rotation, zoom, and inventory checks feel automatic.

Start With a Setup That Matches Your Hands

The game includes keyboard and controller rebinding, inverted controls, and a simplified UI toggle. Use the first shift as a low-pressure test: Story Mode has no timers, and the next day begins only after you stock the required value of dice. That gives you room to change a binding, test it on a messy shelf, and change it again before the shop gets busy.

A good starting point is to keep one hand free for camera control and the other free for pickup, rotate, and zoom. If you use a controller, test menu navigation before a long session; if you use keyboard and mouse, make sure your interact key does not overlap with a movement key. These small checks matter because the game is built around repetition, not twitch reactions.

The Core Dice Hoarder Controls You Use Every Shift

Dice Hoarder controls are less about combat-style reflexes and more about repeated handling. You pick up dice, examine their color and material, rotate them, zoom in, crouch for floor dice, and check inventory. Exact default bindings can vary by input device and patch, so use the in-game rebinding menu as the final word. The table below focuses on what each action is for and how to tune it.

The left-side panel is one of the most useful control aids in the game. It displays the material and color of the die you are holding or have selected in your inventory. If you are color-blind, play on a small screen, or simply sort late at night, reading that label is often faster than rotating a die under the shop lights.

Floppy disks eventually unlock special sorting abilities, including ways to track down missing dice or pull them directly into your hand. Those powers reduce the amount of manual searching you do, but they do not replace a clean control setup. Keep pickup, zoom, and inventory on inputs you can reach without shifting your whole hand.

Accessibility Settings That Improve Dice Hoarder Controls

A control setup is not only about keys. Camera comfort and visual clarity directly affect how precisely you can sort dice. The game offers adjustable field of view, optional head bob disabled by default, a motion blur toggle, color-blind options, and a simplified UI. These options are especially useful when you are scanning hundreds of dice for small differences.

These settings work best as a package. If the camera feels too loose, adjust field of view before changing movement bindings. If dice are hard to grab, try zoom and crouch before blaming the pickup key. If the inventory feels busy, simplify the UI and turn off dice rotation. Small comfort changes can make Dice Hoarder controls feel much more precise without changing a single key.

Keyboard and Mouse vs Controller: Pick Your Sorting Input

Controller support is listed, including Xbox controllers, and the game supports rebinding on both input paths. There is no single best Dice Hoarder controls scheme; the best one is the layout you can repeat for an entire shift without discomfort. Use this comparison to choose a starting point, then adjust in the rebinding menu.

A practical test is to sort one shelf with each input if you have both available. Pay attention to how often you miss a die, how often you rotate by accident, and whether menu prompts match the buttons you are pressing. The input that produces fewer corrections is usually the better fit, even if it feels slower at first.

Sorting Workflow and Control Troubleshooting

Once your Dice Hoarder controls feel natural, use the game’s no-timer structure to build a repeatable routine. Each complete set needs one of every classic polyhedral die: percentile, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20. With 400+ sets to rebuild, small workflow choices matter more than fast hands.

If something feels wrong, troubleshoot in this order: camera comfort, zoom and crouch, inventory rotation, then keybindings. A dark screen can also make pickup prompts feel unresponsive, so raise brightness and check graphics settings before assuming the controls are broken. If you have just rebound an action, test it on a single die rather than a full shelf.

Crafting adds another useful layer: when the shop runs low on stock, you can make custom resin dice to fill gaps. Keep your pickup and rotate inputs comfortable during crafting, because you will handle dice closely and repeatedly. The sorting loop stays at the center of the game, so a setup that works for crafting should also work for shelving.

FAQ: Dice Hoarder Controls

Can I rebind Dice Hoarder controls? Yes. The game supports keyboard and controller rebinding, along with inverted controls. Change one action at a time, then test it on a shelf before starting a long shift.

Does Dice Hoarder support controllers? Yes. Controller play is listed, including Xbox controllers. Rebind buttons if the default layout feels awkward, and check menu prompts after making changes.

Why do my dice keep spinning in the inventory? There is a toggle for dice rotation in the inventory. Turn it off if the motion makes it harder to compare materials, colors, or die faces.

How do I pick up dice on the floor more easily? Use zoom to enlarge dice and crouch to get closer to low shelves and floor gaps. If a die is still hard to grab, adjust field of view and test your pickup binding in a clear area.
