Forums → Games → WASD vs Arrow Keys

I'm left handed and I use arrow keys for all my games. I have an "azerty" keyboard so the "wasd" buttons are out of reach.

For any first person shooter answer should be obvious... with WASD you can use pinky for ctrl and shift and thumb for space. I've played so many games with this combo that WASD works best for me

WASD you can play FPS with it.

I like WASD better only because you usually using other buttons that are closer to it than the arrow keys.

I always go with WASD from FPS habits.

when you use the WASD, is easily to use the others letters in keyboard and the same time the mouse, but with the arrows, u have your movements restricted and limited, and when u are playing, its impossibel to use all keyboard and the mouse in same time, at the same level to the WASD. The WASD is the best!

WASD is better because its next to all the action keys like E F R

WASD is more prefered for me

WASD is more prefered for me

WASD, it's easy enough to hit the spacebar with it, and it also feels MUCH more comfortable (for me at least).

i prefer WASD because its easier to play games where you have to use the mouse too

Agreed, I only use WASD when the mouse is also in use. Arrow keys are much more comfortable as well as easier for me because I am right handed.

i much prefer using WASD is available over the arrow keys but i dont got a problem with either but if its a FPS i highly prefer WASD

I'm right handed, but I play with WASD. Games like World Of Warcraft are good for that.

And why is that?
