Hey Pokeblok,

I'm sorry about that, but I don't really see what's wrong with it, could you please explain? I can remove it if you want.

Nevertheless, I am still happy to help with any questions / strats you need help with regarding keyboard running. I have also made a keyboard input display which can show off your own keybindings. l can help you make an overlay for it, should you choose to use it.

If this is serious, then I have lost my respect for you, and any others holding the same opinion.

People have different reasons for choosing to use a keyboard instead of a controller. Personally, I couldn't wait for getting a controller to start speedrunning, so I began using my keyboard, and now I'm used to it. I like the 'challenge'.

This is one of the very few keyboard only tricks. Different keybindings / emulators have variations on this which allow you to do it (in my case, I hold right and tap left). It's still good to know how to spin the 'proper' way though.

Playing using a keyboard is not as hard as people think. It mainly takes getting used to, with a few tricks to learn, just like everything else. I guess this is an indication that I could consider making a guide.

Please contact me if you're really serious about keyboard running and want to know more.

You might want to contact Pokeblok on Twitch

I thought it might be worth posting this (Pokeblok's keyboard layout):

I switched to something similar: at SDF I have A, B, Z. The arrows keys are the same (IJKL) and C left/right are the same (UO), but I put C down at H and C up at ;. and R I put at V.

The C left/right keys are superior when you put them like that, much easier than moving your hand off the arrow keys to reach them.

the logitech 310 that toast linked is a pretty solid controller, used it on emu for like 6 months, never had any issues with the lack of notches

That has no notches on the joystick though. Won't it have the same problem as the Wii U gamepad? I mean, that it feels unstable because the joystick doesn't lock into place when you hold a direction.

Then search for a joystick with notches yourself

having a wiiU but not a N64 is really an issue there...

At first, buy a cheap USB controller, like one of those fake dual shocks, then when you get better or when you get the money, buy the N64 stuff. But do a good search for better prices when you buy them. There's absolutely no point on running this game with keyboard just because you don't have the console.
And, lol, you decided to run this game, you gotta make the proper investment. Or just use emu take it more casually. At least you don't need to get a badass ultra HD capture card + expensive console/game/controller...
