    Question to the pc-players: Are the gold medals possible on keyboard?

    Hi gamers,

    I'm playing Trackmania Turbo since a few hours already. I play it on pc with a gaming keyboard and managed to gain a 4 gold medals and 32 silver medals.
    I don't have a joystick or a gamepad to feel the difference, so I have some questions to all experienced pc-player out there:

    Is it possible to get 50 or more gold medals on keyboard? Can you give me some hints or suggest me a tutorial / video to get better?
    Is the game easier and more fun with a gamepad? Wich gamepad can you suggest for this game?

    Looking forward to your replies.

    Kind regards
    Simsler

    Hi,
    It's possible to have all gold medals with your keyboard. You don't have to use a gamepad.
    If you want to see how players drove the super trackmaster times, you can look here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...mD90zUjEuP3rtl

    Hi Alinoa,

    thx for your reply.
    You are right, it is possible. I found out, that ver often you have to tip the arrowkeys repeatly instead of just pressing it.
    Thank you for the link to the playlist, that helps me a lot!

    The keyboard is actually the best tool for the job.
    It allows you to have a dedicated finger for each key.
    So you can independently press each button the moment it's needed.
    I like to use my left hand for the left-SHIFT key to accelerate.
    Then my right hand for the left, right and break keys.
    You can pretty much always hold down the accelerate all the time.
    If there's a tight turn pressing the break once to start a drift is almost always enough to clear it entirely.

    Hi,

    No, unfortunately keyboards are not supported on PS4.

    Cheers
