Forums → Games → WASD vs Arrow Keys

If there is a mouse involved, I like WASD better. If not, I would use arrow keys.

WASD is my preference, I prefer it because my brother spilled apple juice on my arrow keys so now hey stick and it's annoying!

I used the QZSD because my keyboard is AZERTY.

I deffinetly like the WASD buttons better, because their more comfortable. I especially like them better in games where you also use the mouse.

I reallly love using WASD because I'm left handed so it's much more comfortable

i always use WASD for everything because when you have to use the mouse i cant use the arrow keys since im right handed (like many people) and so i trained myself to use WASD all the time sicne i just find it easier even if the game dosent need the mouse. i know it seems wierd that a righty would perfer WASD over the arrow keys but hey, im just a wierd guy.

That's true i prefer arrow keys over WASD and i'm a lefty but its easer for me to use the mouse and arrow keys then mouse and WASD for me =P

WASD because im a person who plays run and hit

When there's a choice, I always use WASD. It just feels a lot more comfortable then the arrow keys.

People who use their right hand for mouse and have their keyboards maybe 3" from the mouse will commonly use WASD as its a more comfortable position.


People who use their left hand for their mouse and have their keyboards still close to their mouse will commonly use arrow keys so their hands aren't like hugging eachother :P (Right hand mouse people atleast get the Numberpad worth of space)

I like and prefer arrow keys more because, like what GhostOfMatrix said above, I am left handed. And here is a question:

Do you win more on Exit Path 1 if you are you using arrow keys? Or is using W.A.S.D. easier and better?

I used to use the arrow keys, but as I started to play games that use the mouse more, I switched over. Now I prefer WASD for consistency, and so I can use the mouse (yes, even when I don't need it).

I use the WASD keys because they are easier to use for me. I'm a right-handed guy so I put the mouse right next to the keyboard. When I use the up, down, left, and right keys I get a little scrunched up. I often feel more comfortable using WASD because I can stretch my arms more.

Arrow keys because I am left handed, and i use it alot.
