    The problem with keyboard driving in most setups is that the turning is either on or off. So you can’t make smooth movement. You have to do that tapping shit to keep the car straight. Also the accelerator is either 0 or 100.

    On control with analog and trigger have different levels of sensitivity allowing for granular controls.

    I know that now a days there are some keyboard switches that have this, but it’s far from the standard.

      Yeah I played the hell out of games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and Porsche Unleashed on keyboard, and I don’t miss the tapping. Analog sticks aren’t perfect but they’re so much better than on/off keys IMO.

      Analog switches have gotten downright affordable on keyboards these days, for what it’s worth. I saw one for $70 the other day. I’ll try and find a link if anyone is interested.

      If you can’t do PWM with your fingers, then that’s a skill issue :)
