Getting used to gaming with a keyboard

l33th3tr33 · 1 Apr 2013 at 13:58

Hey guys, I've now made the transfer over to PC gaming as consoles do my head in. What's the easiest way to get used to using a keyboard? I'm finding that I'm searching for keys mid game, is it basically keep trying ad get used to it on my own or is there some kind of method?

Thanks.

PS. I don't have anyone in my friends list on steam yet so feel free to add me. Would be nice to not just play randomers all the time. Steam ID is - l33th3tr33.

I had a feeling it would be a case of practice makes perfect. Does anyone use a keyboard for driving games? I use an xbox controller as using keys just aren't precise enough.

Thanks guys.

What games are you playing? I barely played PC games for ages and went from playing BF3 on xbox to playing Counterstrike on PC, that was a shock to the system.

Just keep at it, you'll get there.

I've got BF3, crysis 3, bioshock Infinite, dirt 2 & 3, grid, trials evo and just got DOTA 2.

Nope, XBOX pad all the way for driving games and platformers.

I knew that would be the case! Hats off to anyone that can put up a competitive time on a keyboard though. (challenge anyone!?)

I do feel more natural using wasd, so I'll stick to them. It's just reaching for keys that aren't close to those that get to me, and remembering what each one does!
I'll try the typing, I do need to get my typing up to speed, I've got better over time but learning where absolutely everything is would help a hell of a lot!

I've accepted any requests too, feel free to give me a shout for any games we have in common, even if I'm not playing them I'd much rather play online in a group than SP.
