I think WASD is better when you have to switch weapons a lot

For me WASD is more comfortable than arrow keys.

depends on the controls. if you need a mouse to aim or something, making a game with WASD may be a pretty sweet idea for those with laptops, for the guys with desktops, it doesn't really matter, I don't think.

I prefer arrow keys usually of WASD.
I guess just because I'm right handed, and it's easier for me to control them. I sometimes stutter in action games when using the WASD buttons.

For game without the use of a mouse, I use the Arrow Keys but for shooters like Raze where you actually use the mouse, I use the WASD keys. They are more comfortable for me any way I look at it.

WASD is the best it not only gives you better postioning on the keyboard but it allows a easier transition if you have to use the number keys

WASD if I have to use mouse. But I do admit it's a lot more convenient.

Well, out of random loyalty, I was at first leaning toward the arrows keys, but I realize now that WASD is much better for a few reasons:

1) There are other keys nearby, usually having functions of themselves. So, the key placement is more practical because other keys are right there.

2) For me, these keys leave my right (dominant) hand open to the mouse, when it is required.

So, now I know that WASD is better.

WASD for me, But that only changed when I played first-person-shooter games, as it would never had worked with anything else

i tend to use wasd even though im right handed idk y tho

I use WASD when I need to use a mouse or got something signed to number keys - then i can play with one hand unless the mouse is completely necessary
arrow keys go when I use touchpad, it's a tad more convenient then

WASD are very convenient when the mouse has to be used. This is for right handed people of course. Left handed people use the mouse with their left hand and therefore use the arrow keys.

If no mouse is needed, then it is the arrow keys for right handed ppl, and WASD for the lefties. No one is superior, it is merely a matter of comfort.

I always use wasd

I use the arrow keys except when I need a mouse in addition to the arrow keys/WASD (such as Elephant Quest) or if the game requires WASD (such as Bubble Tanks). Also:

I use arrow keys.. They are easier for me to use...

I'm left handed so I think that makes sence
