WSAD or Arrow Keys?

[Snip3r]

So which ones do you use? WSAD keys or arrow keys? I use arrow keys because they are IMO easier to use. WSAD feels weird. I think they should make keys around the arrow keys specifically for FPS games since their getting more complicated every year ;) Well what do you use?

[Strider]

Lol Snipe the way you worded the answer choices cracked me up. I use 'old skool' arrow keys, the WSAD feels wierd to me too, and I'm lefty so the WSAD won't work out.

[Sirc]

I use YBAL. Big hands. :w00t:

[OUTLAWS Spike]

I use the a s d and right mouse for forward.

Old skool Doom Arrows


I don't know what is best, but I'm used to the arrow keys :w00t:

[Pure_Evil]

Nostromo the way to go!!! Thanks Machine :thumbs: :wootrock:

[Slice]

Actually I thought you could use wasd in the first Wolfenstein 3D? :unsure:

[JIMINATOR]

WASD, I used to use the arrows, but then jump was
a separate action, not to mention that going
to an unfamiliar keyboard may screw you up, depending
on where the arrow keys are...

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

I use the arrow keys, but I only use my thumb to press them.................I like to give other people an opportunity to win. :)

[Ra\/en]

i use wasd for it cuz of the jump spacebar and all..

and i just like my hand being there.

[Sirc]

Ewww, it's tied up now. I've always used the arrow keys. I didn't realize so many used WSAD. And I started with SS, so I wasn't influenced by the older games. I don't even remember now which one is default for SS. :WTF: :drink:

[Phoenix]

Wads baby.......wads

[Rivers]

[Morpheus]

:rofl:

believe me, if i dont play ut2003 everyday im lost :wacko: , cause i forget where the weapons are located(and i cant change with mousewheel anymore, cause mouswheel up selects rocketlauncher and mousewheel down selects lightning gun)

[Nick]

:rolleyes: arrows....use thumb on num pad for weapons...right clic for jump....used to use arrows on right hand for old games without the mouse......

:w00t: I loved PONG&#33;&#33; I even have that game on my PC&#33; :wootrock:

[Sepra]

I use the arrow keys It&#39;s just easier for me.

I tried wasd and I got all messed up and end up on esdf like a million times :bandhead:

[Thundarr]

WASD because spacebar is easier to reach for jumpin&#39; Plus, I would need a bigger desk to move the keyboard over so my hands aren&#39;t so close together if I used arrows...Maybe if they were on the other side of the keyboard?

[C2H5OH Guy]

WASD :wootrock:

[OUTLAWS Ada]

I use the arrow keys but have to move the keyboard way over to the left and put it at a silly angle - but wait for this........... I still have the jump on the space bar and use my little pinky finger to do my jumping&#33; I got so used to it I am afraid to move it&#33; :bawling:

[Dick Steel]

OFCOURSE WASD

PLease get on AIM :wave:

[Gun Element]

:blink: Your kidding right? :blink:

[Gun Element]

Who uses the space bar? I find that really annoying and hard both ways

[Sauron]

i play Freelancer and it&#39;s the first simulation game where i use WASD for movement and the Space Bar to get new missions or bribe factions or just get general info :devil: ;)

[pepper]

WASD for me&#33;

[chaotic42]

Arrow keys, man. I can&#39;t use WASD at all. I always end up hitting ESDF or DZXC or something stupid like that. I&#39;ve been using the arrow keys for way too long to switch ;)

[Hobbes]

The poll choices offend me. Calling WASD &#39;new&#39; compared to arrow keys in FPS games is like saying Cain & Able are new school and Adam & Eve are the old. They&#39;re both really fricking old, dammit. WASD has been around ever since someone decided to try and play Wolfenstein with the keyboard and the mouse.

p.s. hobbes = wasd
therefore, wasd = great
