Because KeyDown doesn't work as efficiently; UIS has less chance of breaking, KeyDown is inefficient; and in general UIS has a lot more functionality so you should begin using it anyway.

Against keydown(And all other mouse input events) it gets much more input, has the IsKeyDown method, can tell if the input is used by some game item such as a GUI or not, is simpler to use(There is 1 event for all input starting, 1 event for all input ending, and 1 event for all input changing.), can tell if the user is focused on the roblox window or not, can tell if the user is using a mobile device, can set the MouseBehavior, can disable and enable the mouse icon, has many support functions for gamepad and mobile, can get the TextBox the user is currently focused on.

You're able to use the number keys above the letters with keydown, if you want to use number keys and chat while using UIS then you're doomed

Lol I obviously do mate, if you use the second value then it will always return the same even when ur not chatting so you can't detect when the player is pressing number keys in chat or outside of chat. Try it yourself before talking bs

Goodness, settle down.

UserInputService is what you want to use. It will give you more flexibility overall with any user input (hence the service name). KeyDown is deprecated. It never made any sense anyway, because it was tied to the Mouse object (why would keyboard input be tied to a Mouse object?).

I've been using UserInputService and it has been working fine. If you're having issues with it, then you're using it incorrectly. Just play around with it and read the tutorials.
