'''Keyboard play''' is the act of playing a ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game with a {{s|wikipedia|Computer Keyboard}} as the [[controller]]. Keyboard play is mostly used alongside emulators run on personal computers, such as in [[Project64]] and [[Dolphin]], thus allowing for keyboard play in ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Project M''; furthermore, Citra and CEMU, emulators for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U respectively, allows for keyboard play to occur in ''Smash 4''. The [[Nintendo Switch]] unofficially supports most USB keyboards, and wired keyboards can be used through an adapter. Also, the Yuzu emulator was created with keyboards in mind, offering native support by default. Keyboard play is especially prominent in the ''Smash 64'' community, due to the reliance of emulators for play though this has died down in recent years with the majority of events switching to offline play.

While generally associated with emulators, keyboard play has seen some use in tournaments, particularly in ''Smash 64''.
