Clean the Anime Figures Controls
Quick answer
The official PC and controller inputs for picking up, placing, dropping, switching figures, and opening Upgrades.
Quick answer
Use E on PC or RT on controller to pick up and place figures. Use Q on PC or LT on controller to drop one. PC number keys switch the held figure, while T unlocks the mouse. On controller, Y opens Upgrades and B closes the menu.
Clean the Anime Figures is the Puzzle experience by Jobless Cleaners, with a server limit of 20 players. These inputs come from the creator's official Roblox description.
PC controls
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Pick up a figure | E |
| Place a figure | E |
| Drop the held figure | Q |
| Switch held figure | Number keys |
| Unlock the mouse | T |
Pickup and placement intentionally share one interaction key. If E does not place the held figure at your current position, check that you are facing an accepted placement and that you are carrying the appropriate figure. Use Q to release it without treating the action as a placement.
Controller controls
| Action | Input |
|---|---|
| Pick up a figure | RT |
| Place a figure | RT |
| Drop the held figure | LT |
| Open Upgrades | Y |
| Close the menu | B |
The official controller list does not name a separate input for switching held figures. Avoid mapping the PC number-key action to an undocumented controller button.
Common input mix-ups
- Place versus drop: E/RT performs the pickup-or-place interaction; Q/LT drops the figure.
- Mouse captured on PC: press T to unlock the mouse before trying to use a cursor-driven interface.
- Upgrades menu on controller: Y opens it; B closes the menu.
- Wrong held figure on PC: use a number key to switch before attempting the placement again.
For the full interaction loop, continue to Pick Up and Place Figures.
First-session input drill
Practice the inputs in a low-risk order before carrying a figure across the store:
- Face a loose figure and press E or RT once to pick it up.
- Step away from the figure's original position so the held state is clear.
- Press Q or LT once to verify that dropping is separate from placement.
- Pick the figure up again with E or RT.
- Carry it to a placement interaction and use E or RT there.
- On PC, try the number keys only when you are carrying more than one selectable figure.
- On PC, press T when you need to free the cursor for a visible interface.
- On controller, open Upgrades with Y, read the screen, and close it with B.
This drill teaches the distinction that causes most mistakes: the interaction input can pick up or place, while the drop input only releases what you are carrying.
Failure modes and fixes
E or RT picks up instead of placing
You are probably facing a pickup interaction rather than an accepted return interaction. Keep the held figure, adjust your position and facing, and try the intended placement again. If you need to reset, drop with Q or LT.
Q or LT does not count as a return
That is expected. The creator lists drop and place as different actions. Pick the figure back up and use E or RT at the placement interaction.
Number keys appear to do nothing
The official wording describes number keys as the PC method to switch the held figure. If there is only one relevant held figure, there may be nothing visible to switch. The evidence does not establish a controller equivalent.
The mouse stays captured
Press T on PC. This is the creator-documented mouse-unlock input. It is not documented as the Upgrades key and should not be described that way.
Y does nothing on keyboard
The public listing documents Y under controller controls. It does not identify a dedicated PC Upgrades key. Unlock the cursor with T and use the interface that the game presents.
FAQ
Is pickup the same button as placement?
Yes. E handles both actions on PC, and RT handles both on controller. Context determines which action occurs.
How do I cancel a wrong pickup?
Press Q on PC or LT on controller to drop the held figure. On PC, number keys can switch the held figure when a switch is available.
How do I open and close Upgrades?
On controller, Y opens Upgrades and B closes the menu. The creator has not published a dedicated PC open key in the current description.
Are mobile controls documented?
The current evidence package contains PC and controller inputs only. Follow the controls rendered by the live Roblox client instead of translating keyboard or controller buttons into guessed touch gestures.
Evidence used
The control list and objective are taken from the official Roblox experience page. The official games API independently identifies the universe as the Jobless Cleaners Puzzle experience with a 20-player server limit. Neither source publishes an alternate controller switch button or a dedicated PC Upgrades key, so those mappings are intentionally not invented here.
