Keyboard
You might find it helpful to reconfigure your keyboard:
- 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.
