Arcade (action) games with keyboard controls

This crippled their ability to use the keyboard.

They also did not understand that there are 13 different QWERTY keyboard layouts.

Extremely easy to fix with a keyboard config option, which is very simple to make. Bottom line: They probably didn't care, or think about it.

The solution is to use a proper keyboard.

But what's a proper keyboard? Examples please!

That is 10000x more important than the layout.

Indeed. Want a different layout? Get a keymap program and swap around the key caps
