Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

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.
You're absolutely right.
Meanwhile, TrackMania pros:
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.
