RODOGRAU Every Hotkey You Need for Grau

RODOGRAU 2.0 rewards riders who treat the keyboard like a real motorcycle cockpit. Acceleration, braking, balance, gear choice, and even headlights all sit on dedicated keys, while chat commands unlock helmets, bags, and the portable workshop. This guide is the full control reference for PC and a practical translation for mobile touch players who want clean grau without guessing which button does what.

If you are brand new, pair this page with the Getting Started guide so you spawn a bike, learn the map, and practice hotkeys in quiet streets before joining busy traffic.

Core Movement: W, S, A, D

The foundation of every session is the classic WASD layout.

• W — Accelerate. Hold to build speed for cruising, highway runs, and wheelie setups.
• S — Brake or reverse. Tap for controlled slows; hold longer when you need a hard stop or to back into a garage bay.
• A / D — Steer left and right. Small taps keep lines tidy; longer holds carve sharper turns.

Treat throttle and brake as separate tools. New riders often mash W while steering hard, which washes the front end into curbs or other players. Instead, roll off W slightly before a corner, steer with A or D, then reapply throttle once the bike is pointed where you want to go. On long straights, feather W so you are not pinned at max speed when you suddenly need to lift into a grau.

S is also how you set up reverse garage entry for customization. When you reach a workshop door, stop, hold S to reverse, and roll in de ré so the customization menu opens. That same reverse habit appears in the Depenada guide and matters for any paint or kit work.

Wheelie Hotkey: T (Must Be Moving)

T is the grau key. It only lifts the front wheel while the motorcycle is already moving. Pressing T at a dead stop does nothing useful, which is the most common beginner mistake.

A reliable first loop looks like this:

1. Hold W until you feel stable forward speed.
2. Press T once to lift into the wheelie.
3. Use A and D in tiny corrections to keep the bike upright.
4. Ease off W or release the lift timing to plant the front wheel cleanly.

Too little speed and the bike stalls the lift. Too much speed and balance corrections become violent. Practice on empty avenues from the map guide before you try grau through downtown traffic. When you are ready for longer holds and comboio pace, revisit the Guides Hub and keep drilling the same T timing until it feels automatic.

Transmission: M, E, and Q

Press M to toggle automatic and manual transmission.

• Automatic — Best default for learning. The bike shifts for you so you can focus on W/S/A/D and T.
• Manual — Lets you choose gears yourself. In manual mode, E upshifts and Q downshifts.

Manual is not required for fun grau, but it helps when you want a specific rev feel for wheelie entries, slow crawls near sidewalks, or high-speed highway pulls. If the bike feels bogged or over-revved, tap M back to automatic, stabilize, then try manual again on a quiet stretch.

Common manual mistakes:

• Upshifting with E too early, then wondering why the wheelie dies.
• Forgetting you are in manual and holding W while stuck in a tall gear from a stop.
• Spamming Q/E during a grau instead of balancing with A/D.

Learn the toggle first. Commit to one mode for a full practice lap so your muscle memory stays consistent.

Lights and Signals: L and X

RODOGRAU includes working street lighting tools that make night rides and roleplay clearer.

• L — Toggle headlights. Use them after dark on city streets and tunnels so you can read the road and other riders can see you.
• X — Cycle turn signals / indicators. Flash your intended direction before lane changes or when lining up for a group pull.

These keys do not replace steering, but they are part of looking like you know the culture. Comboio leaders often expect riders to use signals when merging. Pair night practice with routes from the map guide so you are not learning L and X for the first time in dense traffic.

Screenshots and Performance Helpers

Shift + C captures screenshots during rides, which is useful when you land a clean grau, finish a custom paint job, or want clip-ready stills for social posts. Make sure the bike is framed before you hit the combo so the shot is not a blur of asphalt.

For performance, type /fps in chat when the city feels heavy. That command is the first troubleshooting step before you blame controls for missed wheelies. A stuttering client makes T timing feel broken even when your hotkeys are correct.

Chat Commands Tied to Controls

Keyboard hotkeys move the bike; chat commands dress the rider and open systems. Keep this short list next to your WASD map:

• /cap1 through /cap23 — Equip helmet styles
• /rh — Remove helmet and accessories
• /bag or /bag2 — Delivery backpack looks
• /ofc — Portable workshop (gamepass)
• /fps — Performance assist

The full command list lives on the Codes & Commands hub. Memorize helmet and /fps first; add /ofc once you start serious customization.

Mobile and Touch Notes

On mobile, the same actions map to on-screen throttle, brake, steer, and wheelie buttons instead of physical keys. The rules do not change:

• Build speed before tapping the wheelie control.
• Prefer automatic transmission until your thumbs can multitask.
• Use smaller steer inputs; large swipes overcorrect during grau.
• Open chat for /cap, /fps, and /ofc the same way you would on PC.

If touch UI feels crowded, lower graphic settings, enable /fps when needed, and practice in low-traffic districts. Once the timing clicks on touch, PC hotkeys will feel even clearer.

Practice Routine That Sticks

Spend ten minutes on a loop that forces every key:

1. Spawn a free bike and ride a quiet block with only W/S/A/D.
2. Add short T wheelies every straight.
3. Toggle M, try a few E/Q shifts, then return to automatic.
4. Flip L and X once each so the muscle memory exists.
5. Type a helmet command and /fps before you log off.

Repeat that loop across different neighborhoods so the controls stay sharp when the scenery changes. When you are ready for group rides, take the same discipline into a comboio instead of inventing new hotkeys mid-pack.

Common Mistakes Checklist

• Pressing T while stopped.
• Holding full W through every corner.
• Leaving the bike in manual with the wrong gear after a crash.
• Ignoring headlights at night and blaming visibility on lag.
• Searching for customization keys instead of reversing into the garage or using /ofc.
• Skipping the Codes & Commands page and typing half-remembered chat strings.

Fix those six issues and most “the bike is broken” moments disappear.

Master the hotkeys first. Style, kits, and long grau lines all become easier once W, S, A, D, T, M, E, Q, L, and X are automatic.
