Forums → Games → WASD vs Arrow Keys

I only use WASD when you have to use a mouse

I use WASD keys more often cause on my current laptop the WASD are slightly larger than the arrow keys.

i like wasd becauase i got used to it on the game minecraft

wasd is better if you need to use the mouse, but arrows keys are better if you need to use number or letter keys also.

I think it depends on whether you are right or left handed when you are using the mouse. WASD makes the mouse more convenient for right handed people. It also gives you easier access to more keys, like Q & E.

WASD !

I like WASD better, because then you can use the mouse in the other hand better.

i only use WASD because of 2 reasons:
1. the right hand is on the mouse
2. if is not on the mouse is on the beer

both for me

I love WASD for games like Raze 2 and Strike Force Heroes
But games like Chaos Faction i like arrows(plus it is the only way you can move)

My left hand is far more dexterous than my right hand, and as such a very much prefer WASD over the arrow keys. Beyond that, having my left hand so close to my right is obnoxious as hell, and quite uncomfortable. I'm almost entirely right handed as well, but that's just my strong hand. My left hand is weaker but far quicker and reliable.

Thus why you fret the strings of a guitar with your left hand and not your right.

Arrow keys all the way just makes games alot more fun to play

Why is WASD even an option?

For those that are left-handed.

notice that whenever your holding 2-3 keys at one time you dont have the option to use any other til you release? it happens to me but i love using the wasd mainly because it feels like i have more control if i using the arrow keys i am like err why am i doing this and i AM in fact right handed so yeah there is no problem in it strike force heroes wasd even like other games wasd wasd wasd i rarely use the arrow keys cause if i am on IE [internet explorer] then it will just shift the page up and down which is very very annoying so yeah even on league of legends i need to use the mouse to move its kind of sucky but i still need to use Q W E and the usually strongest attack/move R :P i give wasd to move 4 1/2 /5 stars cause i love it i give arrow keys to move 3 stars cause i usually use them for games like wizard101 or neon rider and the mouse to move is kind of annoying but still i do have more control so i give it a 4/5 stars

Im not left handed and I use wasd and i agree with alderon mostly with his explanation it the same as mine
