Platformer Video Games with a Keyboard? How Different are Gamepads and Keyboards, Really?

Read my book about the amazing video game What Remains of Edith Finch. It’s called “Suddenly I was a Shark! My Time with What Remains of Edith Finch“ Buy the book at : Other links to buy the book: ********* During a recent usability review playtest of an in-progress video game, I noticed something strange about the way the main menu registered gamepad inputs. This led me down an especially nerdy path to better understand what was going on. In this video I ask if players who use gamepads tend to hold button presses longer than players who use keyboards.
