When I play flash games i use arrow keys insted of WASD. I'm doing it even if there is possibility to use WASD. When i play non-flash games it's obviously that i use WASD. It's alot easier to press space button with your thumb and also my left hand is not busy, so i can hold my mouse.

I like using the WASD keys, since I keep my mouse on the right side of my keyboard, and the arrow keys are too close to the mouse, which makes it a bit uncomfortable.

I prefer WASD, which is weird because I am right handed so you would think that I would pick Arrow Keys. But nope, I like WASD because it allows my right hand to control the mouse if that is what I must do in that game, and if I am in a game where for example if I had to attack with P or O I can attack faster and my left hand can perform certain movements better. So WASD is my choice.

I used to play with arrow keys exclusively, but have switched to WASD and vastly prefer it. i am right-handed, so not sure why though.

I use wasd keys because some of my favourite games only allowed the wasd key, so now i just use them

I'm right handed too, but it's more comfortable and just faste

I always use WASD because most games require a mouse and WASD, and even if not, it is most comfortable. I'm right-handed

WASD. I am right handed but I despise using the arrow keys. WASD is excellent because it works with the spacebar as an action key, and it just loves the mouse.

...WASD is the way to go. I only use WASD unless required to do otherwise. I like the mouse in my hand at all times unless my right hand has to press other keys. And I'm right handed.

I don't mind each of them, but i kind of prefer WASD. I'm right handed so it is a little more convenient for me. If I have to use the arrow keys then I will.

Depends. I got this all figured out. I prefer arrow keys, but teachers expect that. So WASD is the way to go in class.

It depends on the game... some game work better with the WASD keys because other important keys can be reached easier that way. Some games are the other way around.

I always use WASD for games that require movement. Arrow keys are in no way superior!

I only use wasd for shooting games because you dont want both of your hands on one side of the computer.
