If I got s USB keyboard, I could play the flash games that require keyboard buttons such as space, and arrow keys right?

(Sorry to create a thread for such a quick question, but it always made me made that I couldn't play these types of games.)

Theoretically. I never tried it though so...

Make sense, why not? Just remember it must be Flash 7 to be able to play it.

I don't think so. If I'm not mistaken, it only uses the USB keyboard when the on-screen keyboard pops up. When you are browsing, I don't think it lets you do things such as scroll down. I may be wrong, but I don't believe it lets you do so. However, there are flash games that let you use the all of the buttons on the Wii Remote. A few sites have used it, such as WiiCade. There are also games that use the tilting mechanism and have limited nunchuk support.

I'm sure that will expand as time passes. It used to be much more limited just a few months ago, but people figure out how to code these things.

Couldn't this open up the opportunity to chat on an online game as well?

Worms: A Space Oddity will allow you to chat during online matches by using an on-screen keyboard. That was confirmed before the internet channel was updated, so they haven't said if you can use a USB keyboard instead of the on-screen keyboard. I don't see what would stop them, though. I doubt it's very difficult to code, and they could simply need to ask Nintendo for the code.
