Keyboard
You might find it helpful to reconfigure your keyboard: Some people find it helpful to either move the position of the fire laser key, or to transpose the yaw & roll keys. Other people find that their standard Gaelic-language keyboard fails to allow them to use their Torus drives, for example.
See Keyboard Issues for links to solutions, discussions, OXPs and more!
Monitors/Mice
- There are a handful of links at the bottom of the Joysticks and Gamepads page.
Joysticks/Controllers
- Joysticks: Guide to Setting Up Controllers & Joysticks
- Dizzy's guide to Setting up Joystick Axis Profiles
The Dark Side
ie: programming. For those untutored in these mysteries, one often starts with tweaking and then progresses further.
