r/RocketLeague on Reddit: Analog Keyboard Support (My experience using a Wooting Two HE)

December 22, 2021 -

Hello everyone,

I'm a keyboard & mouse player since 2015 and last month I've been told about the analog keyboard Wooting TwoHE. I was fascinated by the possibility of the keys having a pressure sensitivity and I decided to buy it. As of now I'm one of the few semi-pros who actually tried this keyboard for Rocket League and I can tell you it shows one huge issue at the moment, which I genuinely hope some developer could find a fix for.

HOW DOES AN ANALOG KEYBOARD WORK:

With an analog keyboard, you can map each key to function like a controller input—Windows will recognize them as Xbox 360 controller signals. Any keys emulating analog triggers or sticks will respond based on how hard you press them: the harder the press, the stronger the input. If you want more details, I recommend looking up Wooting’s Lekker Switches. For Rocket League, this is the setup I'm currently using.

ISSUES:

Rocket League struggles when handling input from both a controller and a mouse simultaneously. Specifically:

USING A CONTROLLER + ANY MOUSE MOVEMENT OR INPUT CAUSES CONSTANT FRAME DROPS. Video showing the FPS drop

There’s also a smaller performance hit when combining digital keyboard input with analog input.

I’ve found that several other players, including pros, have experienced this same issue. I’ve tested the Wooting keyboard in other games like Trackmania, and there were zero problems—everything works flawlessly. Since analog keyboards are gaining popularity, especially for their potential in precise control, Rocket League could really benefit from proper support.

WORKAROUND TO STOP THE FRAME DROP:

ReWASD Method – I ran some tests and found that one way to avoid framerate drops is to emulate both the keyboard and mouse as a single Xbox 360 controller using ReWASD (as shown at the end of my video). My only concern is that ReWASD is also capable of running macros, which might raise questions about its legitimacy—even though I’m only using it for input remapping to fix a compatibility issue. This method could help many players who want to use analog keyboards without performance loss.
NEW (RECOMMENDED - thanks to Patroid): Download Bakkesmod (a popular Rocket League customization tool) along with the plugin Custom Overlay 2.0. This plugin lets you replace Rocket League’s default UI overlay with a custom one. Since the framerate drops are caused by the game constantly switching between the KBM and controller overlays, this mod disables that UI switching altogether—effectively stopping the frame drops. I recommend checking the description of this plugin for a better setup (this way you can use it in freeplay aswell, otherwise you won't be able to enter the main menu from freeplay unless you restart the game.)

TL;DR:

Analog keyboards—especially Wooting’s—are becoming more popular thanks to their pressure-sensitive switches that emulate controller input. However, Rocket League has compatibility issues that cause FPS drops when using analog input alongside mouse movements.
Two known fixes:

Use ReWASD to map both mouse and keyboard to the same controller (potential gray area).
Recommended: Use Bakkesmod + Custom Overlay 2.0 plugin to stop UI-related frame drops safely.

Really interesting read; I just did a test out of curiosity and yes, actualy giving simultaneous inputs from different devices causes HUGE fps drops. I don't actually have an analogic keyboard so I tried steering with my controller (tested with Xbox One, Dualshock 4 and Dualsense) while boosting with the mouse. Everytime I boosted it went from 650+ fps to around 250, and I could distinguish on the graph very clearly every time I clicked. I did not notice any stuttering in my case, but yeah, there's clearly a huge performance impact whenever RL detects two peripherals "fighting" each other to send inputs. That's definitely where the problem resides, the conflict between controllers (or any device acting as it) and any other device that falls under M&K "category". About the macro stuff, I think it's a pretty specific case that falls in a grey area, but considering that programs like Bakkesmod have an auto-gg feature and the game is cool with it, I don't think it will trigger any automatic ban. Maybe u/Psyonix_Devin or u/Psyonix_Ted may know more about this

At this point, my question is: Is ReWASD not allowed to be used in this case, even when just fixing a compatibility issue? Is there any developer who can look further into this? AFAIK using programs to interpret inputs for compatability has never really been an issue. Sounds fine to me, the rules on that topic are vague but I would say you're safe there unless told otherwise. Also want to say, props to you for providing such a nice writeup and well formatted post. Mandatory upvote from me so this can hopefully get more attention!

Wooting 60HE review- innovative gaming keyboard

There was a bit of a drama recently in the Trackmania community where the streamer Wirtual (a keyboard player) created a track and then set a time people thought to be impossible on keyboard and accused him of cheating. It turned out that was using one of these Wooting keyboards with custom actuation curves, enabling him to perform precise drifts and, more importantly, keep steering at a very precise angle for extended period (say, lock at 34% left for 3 seconds) - something way beyond human capability even on a controller. So now there's a debate in the community over whether these keyboards should be banned, because they can become a $100 gateway into competing at the very top of the leaderboards.

It's compounded by the fact that Trackmania is one of the few racing games where both keyboard and controller input are viable - the game itself has the so-called "action keys", where keyboard keys can be mapped for 10%, 20%, 30% etc. steering inputs instead of 0-100 like normal arrow keys do. Those are widely considered legal because the developers themselves implemented it, but "analog keyboards" are more precise than that.
