WASD / Arrow Keys

[Agent0range]

WASD for fps and most games where you have to move the camera a lot ( eg. SA).
Arrows for driving games.

+1

...and arrows for moving the camera around in RTS games too like COH

Arrow Keys for CS and other fps.
only i do it in a special way, my keyboard is completely sideways so my middle finger is pointing towards my mouse if you can imagine it, find it comfortable and even after a 3 year break i went on the other day and still own at cs :]

WASD for games like guild wars and wow.

I used to use arrow keys when I was a n00b but then I played WoW and found the joy of WASD and never looked back.

Same apart from the WoW part Think it was Half-Life that made me change.

Exactly the same for me too. Now WASD just feels so much more natural.

Same here, with reference to the angle of the keyboard. Not sure why I play like that. Either way I have used arrow keys since Doom and I wont be changing now.

what are all these "other keys" you need ? i find arrows +numpad keys far superior mousewheel down for change weapon up for jump and so on not to mention most mice have 4 buttons at least these days.

Just cant be doing with wsad for movement it's like asking me to write left handed.
If a game comes out and I cant use arrow keys I simply wont play it until I can such as dead space.
I have never liked wasd just feels plain wrong and uncomfortable not to mention you hit other keys by mistake.

WASD. When I first got into PC gaming I played CS 1.6 round my friends and he used arrow keys, felt awful and so wrong

 

[Dougsnake]

arrow keys. Anyone that uses the WASD keys needs their head examining.

corrected your statement

arrows for me (10years) but each to their own devices as they say........

 

[Sleepery]

Numberpad, but then I'm left handed. It's ideal, movement keys, lean keys, crouch, jump and a few others always nice and handy.

 

[Sem]

arrow keys for me

 

[Will_3rd]

WASD for everything, uncomfortable for me personally to use the arrow keys and mouse so close together.

think the only games I can't change it on are Starcraft and C&C Generals

 

[cornyfeet]

wasd for cod4 (too many buttons)
arrows for everything else

 

[AtaRo]

arrow keys for me will probably get the WolfKing Warrior kb.

 

[Griff7520]

arrows for me.....never used wasd....playing mohaa spearhead and cod 4

 

[chris.dante]

Arrow Keys for all my fps.

 

[Sinque]

WASD for every game. I never ever use my arrow keys.

 

[Jase]

For those playing with the Arrow keys, what do you use for "jump" in FPS ?

I use "Ctrl"

 

[<Dubz>]

i've always used the numpad as a lefty for FPS games, 8, 4, 5, 6 for directions, 0 for jump, 1 for crouch, enter for use and then depending what games i have primary weapons bound to 7, 9, 3, / , - & +. no.2 is usally reserved for reload is required, sometimes / for picking up a gun.

WoW though i use WASD even as a lefty, dunno why but it always felt bettrer suited to mmo's.

I really wish a decent company would acknowledge that left handed ppl exist and make decent left handed mice.

Don't get how anyone could use the arrow keys... unless you slide your entire keyboard half way off the side of your desk it just wouldn't work!

WASD for me since as long as I can remember.

 

[Chronictank]

I used to use arrow keys because that was the default setting on alien versus predator (first game i played online to any real lenght of time),
but moved to wasd for convinience of having other keys nearby
