When registering for GeForce NOW, you will be required to enter your email address and password, but the keyboard settings are"Japanese keyboard"Not"US keyboard"It seems that it is, and the arrangement of the symbols is different, so it is necessary to confirm the input contents.

for example"@"or"_"Etc. is written on the keyboardDifferent keyIs assigned to. I didn't intend to enter it as usual, soTo confirmis.

Key assignment settings

Also, I'm using it Chromebook Lenovo IdeaPad Duet So, some in-game settingsKey assignmentHad to change.

When using the Chromebook keyboard and trackpad, the key arrangement such as the "Control" button is slightly different from the mac, or the mouse"Wheel button"Because there is noAssign another buttonI needed to.

Also, of the mouse"right click"It was hard to press at first, so another button may be better.

Internet environment

Since it uses a cloud gaming environment, the specifications of the terminal are not required so much, but it seems that the internet environment will be important.
Communication speed of 15 Mbps or more (recommended 25 Mbps)Was a system requirement.
