Can you play NASCAR Heat 5 with a keyboard?
Technically Nascar Heat 5 doesn’t really give you the chance to race with your keyboard but there’s a nice trick for doing that and that’s through the “digital control” settings (digital steering, digital throttle and digital brake).
How do you set the keyboard controls on NH5?
You do that by first going to “Controller 1”, then scroll down to “Driving” and finally select and calibrate the following values:
- Digital steer left
- Digital steer right
- Digital throttle
- Digital brake
What are the best settings for playing NH5 with a keyboard?
Our recommended NH5 keyboard settings are:
- Digital Throttle = CTRL
- Digital Brake / Reverse = ALT
- Digital Steer Left = Left Arrow
- Digital Steer Right = Right Arrow
These will make it so much easier to drive than any other configuration since they’ll allow you to keep your fingers on the most essential keys at all times.
Of course you can make small adjustment but we really recommend you to use our settings first as they are since they’ve proven themselves in countless races.
