Forums → The Tavern → WASD .vs. Arrow Keys!

WASD always! I'm very used to them, most because of Counter Strike that I played for a long time. So, it's much easier and practical for me!

WASD is great if you're left handed, but that's only 2% of the world's population, so I should think a unanimous vote would automatically go to the arrow keys.

I'm right-handed and I prefer WASD rather than the arrow keys. I just feel more comfortable!

It just doesn't feel right crossing my dominant arm over to get to WASD when I could just comfortably use the arrow keys. (I only play games with my left hand if my right hand is already in use)

dependent on what other things are needed, wasd for things requiring mouse, arrow keys other wise.

Arrow keys by far

But I use my left hand for the WASD, not my right hand! I know it's strange, but I prefer that. I guess that makes me a two-handed...

If you ever played a game in your life and are not a complete noob, you know the answer is WASD.

WASD is better for more spacebar room.

Personally I use WASD a lot, especially if i need to use the spacebar, for say, attacking, I can get a thumb on it and my fingers have my movement. The arrows are a pain for me, even though I am right handed,

if i have to use the mouse and keyboard at the same time, then i use WASD. but if i only need to use the keyboard, then arrow keys. i dont know why, but it just makes me feel more relaxed and comfortable :3

So, it looks like I am the only WAXD defender here; I think that a lot of people would find that configuration enjoyable, if they try.

WASD if needing mouse or spacebar, and a slight preference for arrow keys otherwise.

Arrow keys glitches if you do up-left-spacebar at the same time...WASD doesn't do that.

Really depends if I need space or control.
