Which one do you prefer and why? I personally prefer WASD because it's closer to the other keys which makes it easier to play the game (unless you have three hands).

WASD because I can quickly switch tabs (ctrl w) when my mom comes in the room. Also, Raze 1 has you use ctrl and tab for pause menu and scores (respectively); while Raze 2 has you use ctrl for the ability and Esc for scores.

I used to like using arrow keys when I was young but later on, I started using the WASD keys.

I prefer arrows keys but I'm not displease even WASD control.
I hate the keys as h k and those in the middle of the keyboard.

I prefer wasd cause on my laptop next page and previous page are right above left and right arrow keys so in the middle of the match i always go back a page and it gets REALLY frustrating in the middle of an intense game

@afterburner0:

Yes it would be hard to find a duplicate thread for this because it's in a different section.

I don't know if this would be better in flash games or here.

WASD. I play shooters and Minecraft, so WASD has to be there to work. I can't have one arm reaching for the mouse and another reaching for the arrow keys at the same time.

When i used Internet Explorer, i had loads of problems with the arrow keys so i used WASD. I still had a few problems with them. Now that i use Google Chrome, I use it comparing of what the other controls are. If i am using the mouse, i use WASD because my right hand is used for the mouse and my left hand for WASD. With the arrow keys, i use my right hand. If, for example, a function is Z or X, i would you the arrow keys. *Simples*

Depends on the game. For instance I prefer WASD most of the games I play but use the arrow keys for Quake 3.

It depends on the game. I prefer WASD if I have to use the mouse as well. However, if I don't need the mouse to play I prefer the arrow keys.

It depends, but more often I use the WASD keys because I can then reach the mouse, and if it was a PC game, the num pad for other controls. I usually only use arrow keys when I am forced to.
