First of all I hate Mac and I'm not a Mac user.

One of my friends is wanting to play p99 but he owns a Mac, I already give him enough shit for having a Mac. Either way I was able to google it for him and help him set it up P99 with Winskin.

The issue we're are having now is that the keyboard is all crap. WASD doesn't work. He can still play using arrow keys but it kind of blows. I read up that you need to change your keyboard style to QWERTY.

Lets just say I got sick and tired of messing with it and told him he was #@$@'ed.
I did not find where you could change the keyboard style. You can change the type of style by region but not specifically the layout.

Before I go tell him to go @#@$@ himself again; has anyone else ran into this issue (and yes i did do a search of the forums but found nothing... well I only searched for like 2 minutes) or does anyone know how to correct this. Other than plugging in a USB keyboard.

He is using a old 2007 mac-book pro with Maverick on it.
I've tried giving him a windows laptop but he's one of them Starbucks drinking wannabee a-holes and doesn't want to touch a windows computer.

I found this post where he talks about mapping his controls in game.

I guess in my blind rage for Mac I just amused the problem was with the equipment and didn't even think about adjusting the settings in game.

Oh well, I still don't like Mac.

If his keyboard layout is Dvorak or something non-qwerty, then yes, he needs to set it to qwerty. Internet to the rescue. Burn macs.
