Most games confine their inputs to just a few keys at a time — trusty old WASD (though some swear by ESDF), the reliable left shift, left control, Q, E, T, F, maybe a few number keys, and almost always the beloved spacebar. Throw some scattered hotkeys into the mix and even the arrow keys, and you've reached the extent of keyboard inputs for most PC games.
But Keyboard Sports isn't most PC games. Keyboard Sports wants you to embrace the parts of the keyboard that don't get much love — all those little nooks and corners between and around the Cool, Popular Keys. In Keyboard Sports, every key is important. And it's a surprising amount of fun.
Through a series of silly minigames, Keyboard Sports slowly introduces you to the idea of using the entire keyboard as a controller. Each button press prompts your little character to scurry over to the corresponding area of the screen. A grid of a keyboard overlaid on the game space makes this easier to understand, but it's still hard to get accustomed to at first. I felt strange wandering away from the home keys and the familiar comfort of WASD. Keyboard Sports forced me to unlearn my instinctual reliance on that side of the device, and once I did, it was liberating.
