Recommended Keyboard Mapping by NoxPlayerZ

 

For most of the games, NoxPlayerZ will recommend an official keyboard mapping, users can choose to use the keyboard or customize your own keyboard. 

NoxPlayerZ has developed the two-finger function to help users to have better gaming experience. For many games, such as Clash of Clans, Lords Mobile, users can use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out in games. However, some games do not support this feature, therefore, in order to provide better gaming experience to our users, NoxPlayerZ has developed the two-finger function to help them to zoom in or out in games. There are two modes of the two-finger function: two-finger pinch and two-finger pan.

1. Two-finger Pinch

Just as the name replies, NoxPlayerZ uses the mouse cursor to perform the operation of two fingers to zoom in or out.

2. Two-finger pan

Use the two-finger pan to change the view in game.
