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!

like turtle man said, if your using a mouse it would be wasd unless your left handed then it would be arrow keys. if no mouse then arrow keys.

I mostly use WASD now a days because I use the mouse and the move keys at the same time, when I don't need to use both at the same time I use the arrow keys because I'm right handed.

It all depends whether or not its a mouse and a keyboard game.It also depends on if you're left or right handed.

Mostly I use the arrow keys but if there is a game where I need to use the mouse also. WASD is acceptable, especially during Call of Duty.

I normally use arrow keys if both options are available, due to the fact that I am right-handed. Some games that I play don't even have the option to use WASD keys, but just restrains the players to arrow keys.

I only use WASD in MMORPGS or FPS so I can constantly have my right hand on the mouse.

I use the arrow keys. I'm right handed, so they're easier to use.

I use the WASD control only because it's on the left side of the keyboard and my mouse is on the right. So I don't have to play with my hands so close together.

The only time I found myself using the WASD keys is in Dude and Zombies because 1 hand is on all keyboard controls and my other hand is on the mouse.

i play a lot of FPSes so my right hand's on my mouse most of the times, so i prefer to use the "wasd" keys
then again, azerty keyboard, so wasd is a major pain in the *** and i mostly end up using the arrows

I far prefer WASD because it frees up the keyboard for so much more; the surrounding keys can be hotkeys for lots of cool stuff if you play an RPG or FPS, which I seem to mostly do. You need one hand for the mouse, and being righthanded it means if I used arrow keys I'd be very limited with the keyboard.
