Surprising, and awesome! :wub:

I would love to know how many units we're talking about. Knowing Valve, they'll say "100%" and expect us to be satisfied with that 'number'. :whistle:

Good to see them clear up a misunderstanding - but things like these keep happening. I don't understand why. :S:

Quoting: EikeIs there anything beyond personal customs that would make keyboard less suitable than gamepad? You don't need anything analogue for a jump and run (unlike say driving games or shooters), right?

Apart from the superior experience a dedicated gaming controller provides, I'd say ergonomics is reason enough. There are no analog/level sensitive axis controls in HK afaik, so you can absolutely play with a keyboard.
Barring any disabilities, I'd be very hard pressed to recommend anything other than a gamepad for HK (or platformers in general).

100% my personal opinion. :wink:

Quoting: garpuCan't wait for d9vk to be production-ready. I'm hoping it makes a difference with Guild Wars 2.

Did someone say GW2? ;)

Quoting: GuestHollow Knight does not recognize my Dualshock 2, ignores non-ascii keys, and has a strange French translation so it’s not ideal, but it’s still playable.

To workaround this, do you use something like AntiMicro to remap keyboard keys to gamepad perhaps?
Playing any platformer with keyboard is far from ideal, some might even go so far to call HK unplayable with keyboard controls.
