What two charts agree on

The official Roblox page does not print a full key map. It says controls are listed in the community server and that the game supports more than one platform. The PC rows below are the actions where two long written charts agree. They were checked against each other on 2 Nov 2026. Alpha can still rebind them.

Action PC input
Move W A S D
Shoot Hold E, release at the top of the jump
Pump fake Tap E. One note also calls a very short hold a fake.
Layup Hold E while driving
Driving dunk Shift + Space
Standing dunk Hold Space near the rim
Self lob F
Alley-oop to a teammate T + 1, 2, 3, or 4
Screen Hold T
Post up Hold G
Overhead pass Press 1, 2, 3, or 4
Chest pass Hold Shift + the teammate number
Bounce pass Double-tap the teammate number
Flashy pass Hold Shift and double-tap the number
Fake pass Hold Q + the teammate number
Swing pass Hold D (right) or A (left) plus the pass number
Hesi C for the right hand, Z for the left
Crossover Z right-to-left, C left-to-right
Stepback / snatchback X / X X
Half spin / full spin V / C X Z or Z X C
Euro / hop Shift + double-tap E / Shift + tap E

Teammate numbers are assigned in the current match. Read the live icons. Do not memorize a number from an old clip.

The same key changes with your state

Holding E while you are set is the documented jump shot. Holding E while you drive is the documented layup. A tap is the documented pump fake. If the wrong animation plays, check direction, speed, distance from the rim, and ball hand before you blame the key.

Shift is the sprint and the modifier. Add one modifier at a time. A moving shot is documented as Shift + D + hold E to the right, or Shift + A + hold E to the left.

Inputs that do not agree

Some July and early August videos tell you to shoot with Space and to pass with R. The later charts that agree with each other use E to shoot and the number keys to pass. Follow the table above unless your live alpha prompt says otherwise.

G is also a conflict. The agreed November PC table uses Hold G to post up. Other beginner charts use Hold G to guard, a tap of G as a hook, and a double-tap of G as a gather. Those cannot all be true in the same animation state. Use the on-screen prompt for G.

Single-guide defense rows, not in the two-chart agreement, include steal on R, block on Shift + Space, drop ball on P, camera on L, and hand switch on H. Try them only if the current HUD shows those actions.

A ten-minute check

  1. Take five stationary shots from one spot. Watch only the press and the release.
  2. Tap E five times so a fake does not become a shot.
  3. Drive in and compare the layup input with Shift + Space.
  4. With a teammate, pass once to each number, then try one bounce and one chest pass.
  5. If chat or an overlay ate the key, click back onto the court and retry one action.

Shooting has no documented assist that greens the meter for you. If every release feels late, check frame rate before you change the jumpshot package. Dropped frames on a hold-to-release shot read as a late release.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do codes 100M and RELEASE still work?

On 2 Nov 2026 those two strings were listed as working, with matching coin rewards. This wiki has not redeemed them. Some pages still say the Shop or Store codes control is missing, so treat a missing button as a build difference, not as a typing error.

Which Practical Basketball listing is this wiki about?

The ALPHA experience by Practical's Games, Place ID 80681221431821. A second public place titled OUT NOW belongs to Practical's Physics V2 and is not the listing this site documents.

Is Practical Basketball free to join?

The public game record lists no price to join. Cosmetics and passes can still cost Robux. No pass names or prices are published here.

Are the PC controls final?

No. The official description calls this an alpha, says nothing is final, and tells players that the control list lives in the community server. The charts here are the inputs that more than one written guide agrees on, and they still need a live recheck.
