Myxomatic.5630 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I use my ring finger with WASD which for some reason isn't what other of my friends use to move around. What about you? :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If I do WASD middle finger on the W, but I don't use my keyboard for GW2 I have a Nostromo and I use the joystick with my thumb for movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I tend to use the middle finger. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 But if you dont use the middle fnger, but the ring finger, then that means the pink is on A, and that meand you have n finger left to dodge on shift.......... What heresy is this. This will not stand! **WITCHCRAFT** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewsitine.3645 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 whoa calm down there space marine. I think you got spit out by the warp at the wrong place. Though, it is neat to learn some people used other fingers besides the middle finger. Also, I wonder if any still uses the ball like scroll wheel for everyday use? Edit: forgot to add a word and removed/replaced another word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardid.7203 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 WASD with the middle finger in W and spacebar to jump here. Almost EVERYTHING else is different from the standard, though. My 111111 is actually QQQQQQQ. (Yeah, is like I'm saying everyone is a whiny noob around me while I just 1111 brainlessly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I map to the arrow keys myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 When I use WASD I use my middle finger on W. But most of the time I use my right hand on the number pad for skills and my thumb on the arrow keys to move. I find it much more comfortable. I could never work out how even right-handed people can reach most of the keys when using WASD. For example how do you press A to strafe and press 5 at the same time? It's possible but it seems like it would be uncomfortable and not easy to do in a hurry. Even worse if you want to press W and any key on the bottom row - your own hand would be in your way.

Maizan.8516 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I do middle on w and just move it down to a when needed. Ring on a and pointer for d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmar Alech.4305 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Middle finger with ESDF. It's the whole point of ESDF instead of WASD: the correct position of the fingers is pinky/ring/middle/index on A/S/D/F. To position without the need to look at the keyboard, we have that little knob on the F (and on the J for the right hand) for the index finger on every existing keyboard.

Westenev.5289 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 In theory middle finger on e or d would be best for keybinds - but WASD is default for most games and is therefore the easiest. That being said, I use the mouse to turn the camera and/or my character (right/left click drag), and my QE are left/right strafe. So it'd be clearer to say I actually use QWE for movement. I will use action camera for things like Jumping Puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I don't use keyboard. Have Nostromo/Orbweaver left side and mouse right side (that has several buttons too). I move exclusively with mouse, simply because I find it a lot more comfortable, precise and smooth, especially for WvW and jumping. Could never get used to playing WASD in GW2.

Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 One of the most bizarre things I have seen in life is that I am the **ONLY** person who ever uses the homerow method. In all my typing classes they made us put our index fingers on F and J, and so I learned to type using that method. Apparently everyone else on Earth just threw that out the window and started using their own bizarre hand placements to do things. I'm a strict homerow user. My ring finger sits on W.

I suspect relatively few people ever had typing classes. The only people I know who did are my sister-in-law and a woman I work with, who both did it as part of secretary training. Even my IT lessons in school which were so painfully basic they included things like "this is the MOUSE. It moves the CURSOR which is the little arrow on the SCREEN" and progressed to things like how to type in Word and how to insert images (which therefore lead to every student submitting documents with as much WordArt as you could get away with) didn't teach us how to type. I did have a "game" which was supposed to teach touch typing, but I could never get the hang of it. So I gave up and didn't worry about it for a few years, then when we got the internet and I started talking to people online I taught myself without really thinking about it. Which means I can touch type in the sense that I don't need to look at the keyboard and I can type quickly with relatively few mistakes, but there's no real pattern to it. I mainly use my index fingers but it's a matter of hitting the keys with whichever finger is most convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saloja.7920 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Voted other because I think ring finger is the one in the left hand. I use my right hand "ring finger" on esdf, because that leaves my index finger free to use the 1-q-a-z row where I map all the most important skills. Now that I've read some of the answers here it might be beneficial to move the key combination to the right a bit, like OKLÖ, so that I don't need to move my keyboard on the table that much. Where to find the energy though... I find it weird that with all the progression to gaming devices like advanced 150€ keyboards or 90$ mice it's still tough to be a leftie.

Most people I know had those classes, yet pretty much none of them uses the ten finger system. It's unnecassarily hard to learn and actually not really that much faster than using different ways of typing. And on top of that I find it fairly uncomfortable to move my fingers like that. My teachers in typing class even told us that typing class is more a way to get to know the basic keyboard layout, not specifically to learn the 10 finger system. Edit: apparently the 10 finger system is called Touch typing in english, didn’t know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMojoRisin.7364 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I use a razor Tartarus and put my back forward strafes onto a thumb stick. Wasd to me is jump, weapon swap, heal, dodge in that order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
