keyboard or xbox controller

[y2k]

anyone trying both?

what is ur comment on both devices?

i never use controller, but seems quite alot recommend to play FH with controller

[MK]

i play this game with a good friend of mine and he played the game with keyboard for 2 month. I gave him my old xbox 360 Controller and he is driving better a lot better then before. Keyboard can only gas or no gas nothing in between. Thats the main reason why you should ever play a racing game with controller or better when it is well optimized with wheel. hopefully Forza 5 does that better than Forza 4. I would never think about playing a Racing Game with keyboard.

Can I use a PS4 or PS5 controller = = I really don't like the Xbox controller

You might need a third party software to emulate it, but yes, you should be able to.

Hmm... depends on the controller button setup. I drive the same either way.

Conrtoller:
Steer left D-pad LEFT - Steer right D-pad RIGHT - Accelerate A - Brake X - Shift up RT - Shift down LT - E-brake RB - Nitrous or Look back LB, pending on the game

Keybaord:
Steer left A - Steer right D - Accelerate UP - Brake DOWN - Shift up W - Shift down S - E-brake SPACE - Nitrous E - Look back Q

Only the newer control schemes use the LT and RT for gas and brake, amongst other controls that I never bothered getting used to. I'm an old school gamer and have been using the D-pad, B gas, Y brake, setup since the NES and had always maintained that setup when switching to the Playstation.

To give even more perspective, when most of the console gamers started buying the Playstation 3 and Xbox of that gen, I switched to PC gaming. Never looked back nor will. I still have a working SNES - PS1 - PS2 and still play games on those consoles.

im a keyboard user too and will stay that way

and by seeing enough crying kids complainning against keyboard in racing games i can already guess the answer about mouse camera view is negative in this game same as all car games can only boring look foward and not enjoy all the huge world they so hard detailed and created in general probably have to fight a instant auto camera center again aswell

and back to the cry kids yes we using keyboard on racing games if u dont like it not our problem spare us these comments

Now imagine if they added VR support.

You play with a keyboard to get just a small taste of what VR offers.

VR im using my controller or motion control in some games still need stick to keyboard

but my point is everyone shall have his/her own oppinion on how they play instead these steam users always attack everyone who play different than they

personaly im no fan of vr racing games but lets be honest how many ppl here play games like GTA V ? most of them playing keyboard + mouse and have a perfect camera view via the mouse

why race games always remove this comfortable controls ? it doesnt make sense to disable mouse camera there will still be alot ppl using it

only bored looking foward and miss all of the world details they put so much effort in because we have no camera freedom doesnt make any sense either

I mean, I never look around while racing but I do give myself that option in the keyboard setup that I use:

Look left LEFT - Look Right RIGHT

There's also the option of holding right mouse button and panning around. In short, I have everything that I need with the keyboard setup. To each their own; there is no absolute nor correct way to control cars in Horizon nor any racing games.

In fact, one of the main reasons that I switched to keyboard was due to the often forced controls in some of the newer racing games.

Dude, it's a arcade game, not Sim Racing. Chill

He said racing. Not sim. Are you autistic? Clearly. You exarcebate to make a brainlet statement every single post. Stop posting here. Touch some grass. Working on getting you banned from here already. Brainlet.

You have some sort of beef with autists you want to let people here know about? I'd be more than happy to debunk any misinformation you've been given.

Speaking as an adult on the spectrum. Don't go around using people's shortcomings as means to insult others. It's ablest as ♥♥♥♥.

Yep, a few times. Not my cup of tea. My xbox one controller is packed up and sits in a drawer for a year now.

I look forward to racing you in online races on your mechanical keyboard, you ain't winning squat using that control method.

A couple of things - Forza Horizon 4 has no input lag unless you've been playing it on McDonald's wifi or via cloud gaming. The only people I ever see with input lag have terrible Internet.

Second, it doesn't matter what keys you've assigned to drive the car, using a keyboard is still inferior to using a controller or a wheel. With a controller or a wheel you have a granular input method that has more than just on or off. Keyboard does not. It's either D is on or it's off.

I own an expensive mechanical keyboard myself (Steelseries Apex 7) and there's no way I'd use it over my Xbox 360 wired controller in Forza.

You can play with keyboard but without comfort and pleasure.

Hey why'd you turn down the friend request, I thought it'd be cool to add someone to play FH5 with plus you use MnK and I was wondering if you'd tell me how it works, or how you make it work well, I just added because of that, I don't know why you rejected and blocked? plus I see you posting alot on these forums and I play a lot of racing games myself even if not on steam

1) Uh huh, and it's McDol as in McDohl as in Suikoden. I'm guessing that you've never heard of that game, but anyways. I have no issues with internet, no issues with input lag in any other games except for Forza Horizon games and Street Racing Syndicate (which is a completely offline game). Not even in Forza Motorsport 6.

2) That's an opinion and I disagree, especially since I can run within the same time on a track, regardless of whether I'm using keyboard or controller.

3) If that's what works for you, then great. I'm fine with either.

Forza Horizon 4 doesn't have input lag. it's on you dude. Never heard anyone make that excuse apart from you.

As for you disagreeing about keyboard because "I can run with the same time on a track regardless of whether I'm using a keyboard or controller", I can absolute BS on that one but that wasn't the point. I never mentioned which one was faster, I talked about which one is more precise.

Are you really going to try to argue that keyboard isn't a on or off system? Are you really going to argue that a keyboard is as precise as a granular control method like a controller or a wheel? The A and D keys are as precise as the sticks on a controller or a wheel for turning a car are they?

Nice troll post.

Edit: Watched your Cyberpunk driving video on YouTube with you driving on a keyboard and as soon as you hit traffic you slowed down to a crawl, because a keyboard isn't precise enough to navigate around all those vehicles at speed. On a controller or a wheel that's not an issue.
