    Topic: Controllers.

    I am not really a gamer so I have a basic question regarding controlling an object in my Unity Project.

    I have a robot which is maneuvered using the WASD keys. But, for users at my computer they have a problem quickly touching the WASD keys. They want a physical hardware controller like the XBOX controller. However, my Project is all on my iMac and XBOX is not Mac-compatible.

    Is there an alternative? One idea I have is to cover the keyboard with a plastic stencil thereby revealing only the WASD keys. Silly idea I guess!

    Any users here (Mac users?) have an alternative idea please?

    Or alternative key combination suggested?

    Thank you.
    Michael

    Use a standard USB controller, or use the Xbox controller.
