Do you use WASD or the arrow keys? Why is WASD even an option? Why are arrow keys so superior? Questions like these and more can be posted here, as well as lots of answers! Give your opinion on these basic movement controls below!

I think it depends on the game. When playing games like Armor Mayhem and Raze, I prefer the WASD keys. But with games like Shift and This Is The Only Level, I prefer the arrow keys.

Even though I'm right handed, I find WASD is better, that is, when I'm using a mouse.

I will always use WASD. Using the arrow keys just feels weird to me. I guess it is just what you start using first and get used to.

I dont see how playing a different game would make you switch from WASD to Arrow Keys. For me, I use WASD all the time no matter what game im playing, it just feels better on my shoulders cuz my hands arent so close to eachother.

If you have to use the mouse with keyboard, it would be less awkward for people to use WASD. In games where you only use the keyboard, right-handed people generally use the arrow keys.

If I have a choice, I will use WASD, but in the end it just depends on what the controls are, and preference.

i agree with mattemangel same issue, especially in FPS'S like Begone, i rely on WASD keys, funny how i used to only play with arrow keys 2 years ago

As others have stated, WASD is better for me because you have more options with it with space and mouse and your pinky on enter if you're playing raze.

im can use any but it depends on the game because if the game includes using a mouse then i rather use WASD but if you need to use other keys like NM or something then i rather use the arrow keys but thats just my opinion.
