AmongKey

The game is natively supported on M1 Apple silicon Macs, but does not have proper keyboard input controls. A solution developed by Andrew Savic uses machine learning to translate keys into mouse clicks on specific parts of the screen.

  1. Download the Among Us app from the Mac App Store
  2. Visit AmongKey Github
  3. Below 'Releases' on the right, click on the 'Latest' release
  4. Download the latest AmongKey-1.5-Signed.zip or later file
  5. Double click the downloaded file to extract
  6. Double click the file, if will not open click on Apple, System Preferences, Security, General and Allow
  7. Open AmongKey
  8. Open Among Us
  9. Inside Among Us, go to Settings and then turn down the Joystick Size down to the minimum setting
  10. Now you can use the following keys:
  • Q - Kill
  • R - Report
  • E or space - Use
  • Tab - Map or Chat in Lobby and Meetings
  • Esc - Quit a Task
