While VR Kanojo is designed primarily for motion controllers to enhance immersion, you can absolutely play using a keyboard and mouse. This is especially useful if you are using a VR headset without controllers or if you prefer the precision of traditional inputs.
Here is a quick guide to getting your setup working and the essential controls you'll need. How to Enable Keyboard & Mouse

The keyboard and mouse implementation in VR Kanojo is robust and allows for full completion of the game's narrative and interaction loops. It serves as a competent alternative for desktop play, mapping 3D interactions to a 2D input device through a standard first-person shooter control layout.
Solution: You have two input sources fighting. Disable any controller emulators (vJoy, x360ce). Also, check BepInEx/config/Illusion.VRKanojo.NoVR.cfg and set Sensitivity = 2.0 (lower is better for mouse).
