Newbie here. My keyboard just completely crapped out (it’s been a long time coming). I have a wishlist of features that I was hoping to run by one of the techy communities to see if anyone could recommend a model, but none of the communities I’m seeing are geared toward those kinds of questions.
I can search communities, but if I don’t guess the correct title then I’m SOL… Is there a directory that doesn’t just list the communities, but actually categorizes them so I can more effectively find a hit?
Also is it worth posting in a ‘dead’ community? Unsure if a new post will have any visibility in places like /all if the post itself is in a community that no one frequents.
Learning the ropes here.
Thanks all!
On the off chance one of your desired features is gamepad emulation - Wooting is the only one that has a full proper implementation of it via xinput emulation. Keychron has partial support and Razer has full support but in a different manner (don’t remember the specifics).
Why not just use Steam Input? Add game to Steam as non-Steam game and turn on Steam Input.
Yeah that’s basically what you do, but the keyboard’s firmware needs to report itself as a gamepad for it to work, Wooting offers xinput and HID modes, iirc Keychron only does xinput and then Razer I don’t remember. Unfortunately the next best thing was some smaller company that had very limited beta support for such modes, and no other company gives a shit at all.
Alternatively Steam Input would have to add support for keyboards&mice, but the suggestions on Steam forums has been unanswered since 2021, so I highly doubt it would happen any time soon.
