Forums → Games → WASD vs Arrow Keys

If it's with a mouse, WASD keys win the match. Without mouse, I still think WASD wins because I'm so used to it.

Depends if the mouse needs to be used, if it does WASD for sure.

If not, arrow keys since its easier to hit the other keys.

i use wasd because on my laptop my arrow keys are weirdly spaced.

I'm ambidextrous. Is that how you spell it? xD Anyways, I use WASD because it's so much easier to use with the games I play.

I think it depends. For most platformer games, it's good to use the arrow keys so you can easily get to the power-up and jump buttons. However, wasd is an essential when a game requires a mouse.

[i][b]Arrow keys or WASD that is the question.I prefer arrow keys,but when I play Counter Strike,I use WASD.

I'm Right handed.
I prefer WASD if the mouse is used, but otherwise I prefer the Arrow keys.

i don't have any problem using wasd or arrow keys.
i used wasd if using mouse is required.
and used arrow keys if the game using that control.

Well, on a laptop, WASD is better because for most games you have to aim/look with the mouse. As for a computer with a mouse, the arrows are better. It just feels more comfortable.

I used to use arrow keys but now i play fps shooter game i have to use WASD key. So i think WASD is better then arrow keys

I think that wasd is for people writing with their left arm and arows are for those writing with their right one.

I am right-handed and while I originally used arrow keys, I can barely use them now, as I am so adapted to WASD. Minecraft will do that to you. Being able to move, use spacebar, and the mouse at the same time is crucial.

WASD is the only option for games that require the mouse because you have so many other keys near your left hand so its easier to get to other controls with minimal movement required

Why is this in flash games?

Like I said I am amidextrous
