### 2.9 The joystick emulation

Joysticks can be emulated both via the keyboard and via a real joystick connected to the host machine.

There are two keyboard layouts for joystick use, known as numpad and custom.

The numpad layout uses the numeric keypad keys, i.e., the numbers `1`…`9` which emulate all the directions including the diagonal ones; `0` emulates the fire button.

The custom layout is configurable to your liking.
