JiveMasterT Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I use WASD when I'm playing games on my desktop, but when it's time to play CS on my laptop and I don't have a mouse I use the arrow keys so I can use the trackpoint (the little dot in the middle of the keyboard) for the looking around and I've gotten quite good with that. I dunno... the trackpoint can be really precise so it's good for sniping. My vote went for WASD though because, well, it's awesome.

mikeboy Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 wasd is better, cause you got lots of keys right at the tip of your fingers, meaning more options during gameplay Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/364817-wasd-vs-arrow-keys/page/3/#findComment-586490522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mko Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I'm left handed so I hold my mouse in my left hand, but use a normal(right hand) button configuration for the mouse. Anyway in gaming I always use the arrow keys which is a pain since I have to remap all the controls as games are becoming more and more arrow unfriendly :( I only use WASD with Arrow keys in games like BF2 where you need "dual controls" to fly plans, helicopters etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/364817-wasd-vs-arrow-keys/page/3/#findComment-586490579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollinup Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 WASD all the way, I can't use the arrow keys unless it's a game like Worms..which I havn't played in a while...I find WASD so much more convenient Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/364817-wasd-vs-arrow-keys/page/3/#findComment-586492194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hawk Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 When I first started gaming, I used the arrow keys. Got a natural keyboard and had to change to WASD. Been using it since.

killmaster84 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 WASD all the way now I find the arrow keys your hands are to close together usally.
