Press Left Shift to toggle shift lock in Strafe/Roblox, or open Roblox settings and enable Shift Lock Switch if it isn’t already on. If the game forces first-person or keeps the cursor locked, the usual fix is to exit the menu/UI and use the game’s shift-lock or mouse-unlock key if the developer added one.

What usually works

  1. Press Esc and check Roblox settings.
  2. Turn on Shift Lock Switch.
  3. Back in-game, press Left Shift to lock/unlock the camera/mouse behavior.
  1. If you’re in a menu or GUI, close it first; some games only release the mouse when a GUI is active or when you leave a forced camera mode.

In Strafe specifically

Strafe guides and community posts suggest the game relies on movement/camera techniques rather than a special universal “unlock mouse” button, so the practical fix is usually Roblox’s shift lock or the game’s own control bind if it has one. If your cursor is stuck in the center, that’s often just locked camera behavior rather than a bug.

If it still won’t unlock

  • Rejoin the server.
  • Reset your character.
  • Check whether the game has a custom keybind shown in its controls.
  • Try playing in windowed mode if your cursor is trapped outside menus.

TL;DR: For most players, Left Shift is the mouse/camera toggle in Roblox Strafe, and enabling Shift Lock Switch in settings is the main fix.
