Do you use WASD or the arrow keys? Why is WASD even an option? Why are arrow keys so superior? Questions like these and more can be posted here, as well as lots of answers! Give your opinion on these basic movement controls below!
WASD is almost always better. Especially when using a mouse. Shooters depend on WASD keys while other games like fighters and adventure games are better with arrow keys.
^Actually, I find using IJKL interesting^ WASD for running+mouse like Raze/SFH, but for other games like Give Up, Exit Path, etc. I use arrow keys. BTW, how do most of you pronounce WASD? My friend says "wahs'd", I say "double-you-ay-es-dee."
Ok, I have never heard someone say Wahs-d for WASD. I prefer using wasd even though i am extremely right handed. Using WASD for any game is probably the only thing I use my left hand for on a daily bases. P.S.:my left hand fingers act faster than my right.
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 am (slightly) ambidextrous, so it doesn't matter to me whether I use WASD or the Arrow Keys if I was give the choice in a game. If the game uses WASD and a mouse, I use that. If the game requires buttons like the spacebar or "z, x, c" like many retro fighting games, then I use arrow keys.
Really, I have no preference. I just use what is given to me.
I would very much prefer WASD, mostly because of the games I play, which require both the space bar and the mouse. Plus, the arrow keys on my keyboard are a lot smaller than the usual ones, so it's hard to use. However, I can see why players would use arrow keys; it's just a general thing. But then again, so is WASD.
