this depend manything,for shooting game you use mouse so you will use WASD,and other game people like Arrow Keys more

WSAD because im left handed

If I'm using a mouse (for shooting) for games like Raze and Strike Force Heroes, I use WASD. If I have to use a button like Spacebar or Z to shoot, then I use the arrow keys.

i like playing with wasd

i used to use arrow keys, but now I use WASD better, and Im right handed!

I like to use WASD just because it is easier to complement using the mouse. That is of course you are right-handed, using your right hand to move the mouse. Simple reason.

I prefer using WASD.
Much more comfortable and easy access to other keys.

Well, arrow keys when you have to use spacebar or other keys, and wasd when you need the mouse. But when you don't need any I prefer wasd even if I'm right handed, because I like to have the mouse in my hand even if it's not needed

i mostly use arrow keys but if i need to use q and z and x and that kind of controls then i prefer use the wasd keys

I use the arrow keys since I'm right handed. But I sometimes use WASD for a change.

With WASD controls, I usually find myself hitting another button close to it while looking at the screen. Ex: "E" or "Q". Arrow keys, I dont have to worry about it. And arrow key controls seem more popular in games.

WASD are better especially when you need to use the mouse!

There are certain circumstances where I use the Arrow keys because there are other keys involved such as space bar or numbers

I say, arrow keys when you need to use spacebar and shift, but WASD when you need to control the mouse with the other hand. (I use a trackpad)

But honestly, I don't really have a preference. I'm ambidextrous so either one works fine for me. I'm pretty comfortable with both.

it depends on the game. i can use either just fine although with a mouse wasd is easier. plus the shift space and ctrl buttons are easier to reach from wasd.

I only use WASD when you have to use a mouse
