Why WASD ? A lots of people on the Internet doesn't have a Qwerty keyboard.

And a lots of people don't even use standard keyboard layout, should they be supported as well?
Don't be ridiculous, WASD for controls has been used since Quake.
Wait. What do you use for PC games by default in those countries?
Big games already have the right bindings, the others have to be configured. Sometimes it is not possible, and we just pass.

WASD is fine in games if you listen for key codes, but not if you're comparing it to the key character

The keys exactly at the same place, normally it's done automatically by the game.
You just remap whatever keys are in that position. For me on Dvorak that would be ",aoe".
It supports arrow keys?
It's because I just changed the game to support arrow keys :)
What about mobile users?

Lol. If I can use the buttons on my internet connected toaster to play then it just ain't worth having.
