Using a keyboard in iOS does not control the character in gameplay. No key is accepted as as a control (for instance, pressing W does not move the character forward).
Please note:
Keyboard settings are correctly set
The keyboard does provide text input (for instance, in the Chat/command window)
Please fix - With iOS 14, the mouse works effectively, but the user experience of having one hand on the screen to control movements is lousy!
