You can only do this with amouse and keyboard. Many rumors and people claim players can do it on controllers,but that’s untrue. Instead of one button, it consists of air-strafing and bunny hopping in a way that only a mouse and keyboard can achieve.
The game does not advertise tap strafing as an official move. It’s more of a technique that players have developed and made their own. In other words, it is a series of movements that you can get used to.

If you want to do it correctly more often,change your keybindings. Addscroll uptoMove Forward Key 2. By doing this, you will move forward in the air more often (it will make sense later).
You can use the tap strafe technique in Apex Legends to makesharper movementsandharder turnsthan normal side-jumping. Try it soon, as this feature will soon disappear.
After much consideration and debate, we’ve decided to remove tap-strafing from@playapexin patch 10.1.Our reasoning: It’s inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement abilities.The next patch notes will include a more detailed note about this.
As of August 31, Respawn announced that the mechanic would be removed from the game in the 10.1 update because it is unfair to those who cannot or do not know how to use it. This resulted in a lot of streamers and players voicing their displeasure. However, the devs decided to postpone the removal of tap-strafing to a later patch as they wanted to verify the removal was done correctly.
