Imagine playing a Mega Man game on a keyboard.

A keyboard!

The tactile feedback from the keys makes it much more precise than a small d-pad with connected directions.

I feel like it's whatever you're used to.

For example, if I wanted to play something simple like Mario World, being able to run and jump at the same time would be complicated as hell with that set up.
However, I completely understand that you have enough fingers for it to work.

>>3446423
Middle finger holds S.
Index finger presses D.

I can also press A without releasing the other keys, I only have to release D to press F, but that's no problem, because no one in their right mind would program a game that requires B and X to be pressed together.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 22 23:44:41 2016 No.3446445 I used to do arrow keys for movement, ZXAS would be BAYX, Start and Select would be V and B, and LR would be Shift/Ctrl. Actually felt very comfy.

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 24 02:04:06 2016 No.3448912 Before I got a controller to work I emu'd dozens of games and only could rely on the keyboard. Direction keys to move, Z, X to jump and shoot, and sometimes A, S if something else was needed. Got through almost every Contra this way.
