NBA 2k23 Keyboard Control Guide - A lot of people enjoy playing NBA 2k22 basketball games on Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch.
If you are like, who doesn't have all these consoles but depends on my Windows personal computer. This blog post provides you the function of each key on your keyboard.

When I didn't know about this guide, it was a little bit hard for me to perform some skills. I didn't even believe there were some special keys until I came across a better guide online.
As you all know, I will keep sharing some important stuff I learn every day. There are some other NBA 2k23 guides I have written here such as How to Get Unbanned from NBA 2k23 and NBA 2k23 Nintendo Switch Controls.
