Post Mapping our own keys on browser games
Maybe I'm stupid but I did a search and didn't find any recent posts about this, so I'll ask: I finally tried to play some browser games and I see they finally work full screen and the game doesn't constantly move up and down when ever I hit arrow keys, so great job on that finally :roll: but... when are we going to be able to select our own keys? It's so annoying and makes certain games unplayable for me. It doesn't help that most of the games I've tried seem to have the keys mapped exactly opposite from how I would want them (seems like the programmer had his keyboard upside down)

I haven't heard any ETA on this yet.

Well, I hope it's on the to-do list. With games like street fighter the controls (at least in my opinion) are completely back-a$$wards and every game that has the C and V key used for some sort of directional movement has C as right and V as left. Whats up with that? :P

or I could build my own little keyboards out of balsa wood and make a different one for each game on gametap.
or maybe gametap could allow us to change the keys, like your old software did and like pretty much every computer game since the beginning of time has.

There's one little snag with Xpadder now. It's no longer freeware so you might want to search for an older version of it if you don't want to pay him $15 (I think) for it.
