There was topic like this over 2 years ago, but go closed, and now I need suggestions, and since like bazillion games came out in last 2 years decided to make a new one ;)

Long story short - after over 5 years of service my mouse died (Left Click stopped working), will try to repair it, but for now it's useless for gaming. Will buy new one only if I fail to repair it (because cannot afford as good one atm, so 1st I want to try repairing, if I fail I will buy some mediocre mouse). To make things worse my X360 controller is on warranty repair right now as well - leaving me with only keyboard.

So here comes my question fellow SGers:

What games do you reccomend that can be played with keyboard only and it will still be enjoyable experience?

(preferably some great platformer/metroidvania from my library I missed and never really tried ;p don't look at play-time, I idle a lot while playing something else at the same time ;p)

Couple of things I already know:
Binding of Isaac - it can be played with kb only but I already played a lot of it and looking for something new ;)
Super Meat Boy - same as above
Spelunky - tried it, was fun for few hours, but then I got bored
Super Hexagon - tried it and didn't like it, not a biggest fan of simplistic mega-fast score attacks
Bit.Trip series, Audiosurf and other runners - not in a mood for runner games
Shovel Knight - I know it is awesome, but I don't have it and not willing to pirate ;p
Crypt of Necrodancer - same as above ;p

Edit:
Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I think I'm gonna DL bunch of LEGO games (already tried Force Awakens and it plays great with kb only) and play them together with some Final Fantasy (IV or V) and maybe some platformers ;) It should easilly last me till I repair mouse / get a new one ;) But if any of you got other suggestions, keep em posted - it may help other users with swimilar problem in the future :>

devil may cry 3 (unsure on special edition) though it maybe better with gamepad, i rather enjoyed this one off strictly keyboard (WASD+IJKL 2handed keyboard)

not owning it and not going to buy any games for kb play purposes atm - will stick to what I already have :> If I had spare money to buy myself kb-only games I'd rather use it to get a new mouse ;p

That being said - I cannot realy imagine playing DMS on kb only - I played DMC 3,4 and new reboot and played all with gamepad, I think kb would be not evan close to being precise enough for me to enjoy these games ;p

You can surely get a used simple mouse for a dollar (or even for free!) from a local classified ads such as kijiji or something!

Rouge legacy (keyboard only).
This game is 2D and difficult game.
You will die again and again, you can upgrade yourself after you die (I die 156 times for finish this game XD).

If you don't want those creepy necro feels, then why leave the thread open?

tbh atm I am deliberating whether I should close the thread or not. Why I should you pinpointed it, but as for why I should not - if I close the thread it will by default go below all open threads cointaining words like 'keyboard' or 'without a mouse' - and as a lot of people gave great tips in this thread - even if I myself don't need them anymore they can be great service to other people - thats why I haven't close this thread (while in comparison I closed every of my old puzzle threads soon after puzzle ended) - because even if I don't need answers anymore, other users might need them - and if I close thread they cannot see it. All in all I do not really mind ppl bumping - cause maybe someone finds important data because of that. I personally would prefer no bumps - cause really I do not need any more recomendations, but I still see this topic worthy to not just me but other people as well, as it's not some rare scenario that your mouse dies, and because of this I did not close this topic.
