SWIV & Silkworm have keyboard controls and they're great.
If you enjoy the keyboard that much I recommend WinUAE which is able to play ALL games with keyboard |

I always preferred to play Blues Brothers with the keyboard, for some reason.
Not sure if that qualifies as a great game, I always enjoyed the Amiga version. |

would probably need a "list" thread: Action games that can be played with keyboard. Well, you'd have to remove the ones that aren't "great".
(does Running Man use the keyboard ? or Rise of the Robots ) D-Generation with the keyboard isn't so great IMHO because you have to press 2 keys for the diagonals. I find it very difficult with the keyboard, and playable (excellent) from joystick. |

Always loved to use Keyboard in Colonization and Civilization games.
For first laptop had to have keyboard in order to have keypad to play them properly. |
