How much is key pressed down

Hey,

 

So I asked my parents for a gamepad for my birthday and they don't understand why I need it for my PC even tho I've explained multiple times. Anyways, I'll probably not get one and that's why I'm writing this. 

 

Is there any way I could make it so in racing games when I press W it doesn't full throttle but instead when I press W 50% down in the game it also registers as 50% throttle. I think LTT made a video about this but I couldn't find it. Thank you!

An analog keyboard (technically not analog.. But close enough) will allow for that.

On a normal keboard you either press a key, or don't. No inbetweens. An analog keyboard has a set number of states, which it can give the game so the game can decide if you are full throttle or half throttle.. Steering a lot of not at all.. etc.

 

Like the Wooting One, which might be the one you're thinking off in this video:

They start talking about that board at around the 2:50 mark.

Some laser keyboards allow for that. The Wooting has that ability, IIRC.

Oh aww. I have the corsair Strafe RGB Silent switches. I guess I'll have to beg them lol.

Ohh yeah that was the video. Well I have an Corsair Strafe RGB Silent Switches so I can't do that. I guess I gotta beg for them.

If you want to get a controller on the cheap, you could look for second hand Xbox One or 360 controllers, or maybe look for a deal on a new one. I once came across an Xbox One controller (plus Fallout 4) for 30 euros; so the deals are out there.

I"m surprised you are not able afford a game controller while having a such premium gaming keyboard. There are some good and really cheap chinese controllers out there with xinput that work well considering you can't even get a xbox 360 controller which is also reasonably priced and should be affordable in most scenarios.

It's not that we can't afford it. My parents just don't understand why I need a gamepad when I have a PC. And If I had my own money they still wouldn't let me buy it...

that's extremely harsh of them :(

Yeah they don't let me buy anything with their approval. But you know life is life. Can't do anything about it. And I mean come on... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! IT'S JUST 45 EUROS!
