Am I the only one?

...who uses WSQE instead of WSAD?

I just find it more comfortable and easier to reach the number keys. I've been using it for many years now and I just can't use WSAD any more. Can't actually remember why I originally changed.

Gets annoying having to redefine the keys on. Every. Single. Game, tho!

Up until a few year ago I used the Unreal Tournament keyboard controls, arrow keys and setting the jump to right ctrl and duck to num 0 and all other ingame keys were ones surrounding arrow keys!

Started using WSAD when I built this PC a few years ago as I got sick of redefining keys on games like Swat 3&4 that has loads of commands to issue from the keyboard, made redefining a bit on the difficult side. Most games now though I use a pad as my hands hurt when using keyboard and mouse for prolonged periods

[MrComputerSaint]

I've never heard of anyone ever using WSEQ. That'd be weird to me as I've used WSAD, many moons ago I used the arrow keys but quickly went to WSAD

Like Ferral, I found it easier to adapt to the common conventional settings, WASD instead of sticking to my preferred option (I can't even remember what I used before WASD now!) as I wanted to be able to jump straight into a game with no major control issues to work out. But if you're happy to remap controls every time you start to play a new game then use whatever works best for you.

As a strategy gamer, WASD to move the camera, Q and E to rotate it. The issue I had is that when I went back to play some older strategy games, it forces you to use the arrow keys or the num pad for camera controls.

You're not alone! I use WSQE too Much to the annoyance of friends at LAN parties

[Marenghi]

WASD for me, never knew anyone used WSQE.

do you remap any other conventional buttons for games or just for movement?

[virtuo]

Just tried WSQE and moving backwards/down feels a little odd as you are pretty much pressing "s" with your fingernail. Moving forwards/up is much more comfortable though.


How about "QWSD", feels quite natural

Only moving whatever was on Q and E to A and D, although my CS:S setup is quite weird in that I use space as duck and mouse wheel down as jump. I am quite happy using space as jump in other games tho

Gonna try that tonight.

I used it when gaming on my 10" Netbook, but my choice of keyboard lends itself better to WASD, so I relearned.

This is why I use WASD as well.
I play a lot of total war, so I need to use Q/E to rotate the camera. A/D would be too hard

[Zak33]

I used WASD on a Wolfking gaming keyboard.. so much do I prefer it I have 2 spare!
