I prefer both depending if there are any other keys, for example if you use Space I prefer the arrows, if you use Ctrl and Shift I prefer WASD.

Witch one do you prefer?

Another advantage of the WAXD method is that you can easly put a key on TAB; and since your pinky (I hope that's the name of 5th finger) is always on it. 5 Fingers readyness!

Ohh, I understand how you do it, is it like this? Long finger=D, Ring finger=W and S and Pointing finger (don't really know the name)=X.
Is it that way you control using WAXD?

Nope. The S is not really used. The thumb is on the X. The other fingers are in place as you said, the pinky is on TAB.
Maybe, you could put a command on S, but is quite uncomfortable.

With the waxd keys i dont see any difference. My 4 finger fits perfectly on the tab and my pinky on the shift/ctrl. I have a MERC keyboard it has a special side add on for gaming it has a perfect handfitting wasd, tab,caps, alt,shift,ctrl, right easily at reach, also for other keys it has r t f g v b p c and space

I would prefer WASD if I have to use the mouse along with the keyboard.
Usually the Arrow Keys work best for me but they hurt my hand after awhile.

Arrow Keys definitely, idk its just what I first started with, so I guess, I just became attatched? I can't come up with a better excuse, but yeah, I prefer arrow keys any day.

Personally it depends if I need to use the keys on the left handed side of the keyboard otherwise WASD all the way!

Arrow keys are good. Both are okay, but depend on what type of game, yur playing.
