  • Keyboard Cobra OXP retunes the navigation keys to be more precise helping accuracy with your laser.
  • TSOJ suggests rebinding the navigation keys in a more easy-to-use manner
  • This key-map [v.1.79] is a little dated, but is still helpful
  • Foreign language keyboards.
  • Linux keyboards (non US) can be a major problem: see here.
