-        <p>This specification only defines the functional mapping, in terms of key identifiers.  The visual marking has no bearing on the digital representation of the keys, and in many configurations may be completely inaccurate.  The physical layout of the keys may be of interest to authors developing games or other applications wherein the location of the keys has an ergonomic relationship as the desired user interface controls, with little or no attention paid to the representational value of the key itself.  For example, many games may use the keys <code class="value">'A'</code>, <code class="value">'S'</code>, <code class="value">'D'</code>, and <code class="value">'W'</code> for <code class="value">'left'</code>, <code class="value">'down'</code>, <code class="value">'right'</code>, and <code class="value">'up'</code> respectively.  Authors are encouraged to provide a means for the user to assign the controller keys to a custom setting appropriate to their keyboard configurations.  In the case where an author wishes to rely on the mechanical layout of the keyboard, this specification recommends the keyboard configuration specified in ISO/IEC-9995-3-FCD:2009A as a common layout appropriate to many international uses.</p>
