**The first piano keys tip is that the keyboard fits itself to your window: in [Keyloft](https://yesthisgame.com/keyloft/) we counted ten white keys at 800 by 450, 1280 by 800 and 1920 by 1080 pixels, with keys 80, 128 and 192 pixels wide.** A bigger window gives wider keys, not more of them.

## How the game works

Keyloft is a playable piano that fills your browser tab. Ten wide white keys and a row of black keys stretch across the screen, and you play them with the mouse or your finger. A panel at the top holds two sliders and four round buttons. On the start screen you pick Mode 1, with a wooden panel, or Mode 2, with a red panel.

## What we measured

We used a test browser with the sound muted, so we describe what we see, not what we hear. In Mode 1 we took a screenshot at three window sizes and counted the white keys along a line near the bottom of the screen. We also counted the black keys in Mode 2 at 1280 by 800.

*White keys counted in Mode 1*

| Window size | White keys | Width of one key |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 800 by 450 | 10 | 80 pixels |
| 1280 by 800 | 10 | 128 pixels |
| 1920 by 1080 | 10 | 192 pixels |

One count per size in one test browser; the key width is the window width divided by ten, so these are directions, not rules.

*Ten white keys at each of the three window sizes.*

## What is on the screen

The top panel has two sliders and four round buttons. In Mode 1 the buttons are a loop button and instruments I, II and III on a wooden panel. In Mode 2 they are a loop-style button and three sound shapes on a red panel. In Mode 2 we counted eight black keys at 1280 by 800, two of them cut off by the screen edges.

## 4 tips that follow from the numbers

- **Use any window size.** The keyboard kept ten white keys at all three sizes we tried.
- **Go full screen for wider keys.** Keys were 192 pixels wide at 1920 by 1080 against 80 at 800 by 450.
- **Try both modes.** Each has its own panel and its own set of buttons.
- **Turn a phone sideways.** The keyboard is wide, so landscape gives the widest keys.
