Watching YouTube on my Nintendo switch lite with keyboard support

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I just bought a gaming keyboard and mouse combo from HP the other day. I actually bought it specifically to be used with my Nintendo switch lite. Not really for gaming but for learning coding with SmileBASIC 4 and FUZE 4. It's much easier and faster to type out the codes instead of using the on-screen keyboard.

Yesterday, I decided to try out the keyboard with some games on the switch lite but they all don't work. Just now I thought maybe it'll work with the Youtube app and it did. I can use the keyboard directional key to browse through the videos, type out a search, and 'escape' to get back to the page I was before.

That got me thinking, to play games with a keyboard and mouse actually depends on the game dev if they want their games to have keyboard and mouse support. Like for smilebasic and fuze, the program developer knows using a keyboard is important so they include the capability.

To me, it's the same case as gaming on a mobile phone. Not all games are built with controller support and worse, 99% don't even support keyboard and mouse. Popular games like Fortnite even ban gamer who use controller or mouse and keyboard.

Isn't it funny and stupid? Why would you ban gamer who wants to play their game with either a controller or mouse and keyboard? A gamer plays games because they like playing it and it's fun. Why would you cripple your game without those abilities?

Some gamer love playing with a controller and some prefer playing with a mouse and keyboard. I can assure you almost none like playing with a touch screen control. I for one hate them. Granted, touch screen games are just for casual gamers.

I think it took almost over a decade for the ability to play mobile games with an Xbox controller. Now, you can easily connect them with the latest Xbox or PlayStation controller via Bluetooth. I still remember doing an unboxing video of an Xbox controller for pc. That got thousand of views!

Of course, using controller to play games on a mobile phone and pc are common nowadays. But, in spite of how powerful the gaming phone is today, you still can't play popular console or pc games on it. I mean, download and play on it. Not those streaming craps with subscription fees. FFS!

That's why I love my Nintendo Switch and Nintendo switch lite. It's not because it's more powerful than an Xbox or PlayStation. But, because of its portability. Because of its flexibility. I've been dreaming of something like this for years.

My switch lite is a cross between a gaming pc/laptop/console and a gaming phone. It can play the latest console game and it's also as portable as a mobile phone. Depends on the switch or the switch lite, it already comes with a controller fixed to it.

My only gripe for the switch? Need games that support keyboard and mouse. And more social media or entertainment apps. That would be easy if Nintendo can work out something with the relevance industry and developers.
