Handler notes

Multiple keyboards and mice only as the game has very limited controller support. Read the handler notes in the UI very carefully.

If you use an app like joytokey you can map a gamepad to one virtual keyboard/mouse, use the mouse and keyboard icons next to each other in the UI for that. One player using the regular keyboard/mouse and the other the gamepad/virtual keyboard-mouse works.
