I have a keyboard steering related question. I like key control, but I do find the on/off nature of keyboard turning to be lacking.

First let's move WASD over to the right by one key, so ESDF.

S and F would now turn slightly.

Now let's add A and G and assign those to more extreme turning.

Is there any driving game which has done this, or at least has some sort of configurable system where it could be tried? I assume it has to exist somewhere if it is at all usable.

Does this require software at all?


Interesting idea - I could try implementing this experimentally


Or alternatively, have ijkl serve 75% weight and esdf serve 25% weight. Then you can achieve 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% combinations using both hands.

    Left | Right | Total
   ------|-------|------
   +0.25 | +0.75 | +1.00
    0.00 | +0.75 | +0.75
   -0.25 | +0.75 | +0.50
   +0.25 |  0.00 | +0.25
    0.00 |  0.00 |  0.00
   -0.25 |  0.00 | -0.25
   +0.25 | -0.75 | -0.50
    0.00 | -0.75 | -0.75
   -0.25 | -0.75 | -1.00
(two ternary digits -> 3^2 = 9 combinations)
