It became standardised thanks to Doom back in the 90s I think? And nothing has proven to be more comfortable on keyboard from what I understand

Which is an absolute fucking shame. Having a keyboard gives you a ton of options, but considering that a LOT of what you do in some games is travel, and you're stuck with four misaligned letters as movement, that's complete ass.

Obviously people will plug in a controller and remedy that problem, but a ton of people play keyboard only on purpose and it disgusts me.

Who the fuck wants to play an open world game with WASD for example? Fucking ew.

I only used WASD when I played games on PC as a kid because I didn't have a controller. So I was like WTF else am I gonna use to play? So I played that way.

To think that some people want to use the same contraption that they type essays with...and click files...To play an immersive game. Wtf.

Why did people settle for four misaligned blocks as the number one method of transportation in a game? Four fat blocks. Misaligned letters. It's only comfortable because you had to use it.

"What would you consider a better keyboard mouse set up?"

None. This is going to sound like I hate keyboard and mouse but I don't. I like the options that it gives you, especially for RTS. But would I want to play any of these games with WASD that are my favorite? Devil May Cry with WASD, Resident Evil with WASD, Kingdom Hearts with WASD, Assassins Creed with WASD, Witcher 3, I can go on and on... Hell no. Why would I?

Controllers limit what you can do because they have less buttons, but at least they're comfortable. And an analogue stick makes sense.

WASD let's you dodge faster in an FPS naturally but it feels like shit. It's four blocks. Like... Seriously. Four blocks.

This is a typical response when someone thinks something sucks.

"are you okay?"

No, someone I knew died from covid. Does that have anything to do with this discussion? Not at all, but I'm trying to shut down this troll question as fast as I can.

I just want to talk about control schemes thank you.

WASD is superior to controllers in almost every way; but I agree with you that I'd rather use a controller. I use a controller for most games on my PC, but I also made sure I was comfortable with WASD incase my controller ever shits the bed.

I learned WASD playing WoW though, so it really shined through in that game as well as Dragon Age: Origins.

I agree with your way of thinking.

See if I was playing something competitively like, say, counterstrike and I used a controller that would be dumb as fuck because movement wise WASD is superior.

But feeling wise? In an open world game or a fun game that I'm playing single player (or even co op) where I'm exploring or going through a story? Why the fuck would I use WASD?

Imagine playing any of the games that I listed with wasd. That's crazy to me. Like.. Thinking about playing Resident Evil 4 for example, without a controller, sounds God awful.

Clicking a mouse to shoot a gun in a game like Resident Evil, versus pressing R2 or RT sounds awful in comparison. Better aim is with a mouse but I also have better aim when I aim with my head in VR and it makes games too easy. Namely Resident Evil VII became super easy to aim with superior aim. It just doesn't make sense to me.

90s doom used arrow keys by default. Not sure when WADS became common.

You can't just disagree apparently. That's too hard. Gotta harass someone instead for not liking something.

I think Razer is pretty much the only major company that makes anything like that these days but you can always roll the dice on one of the random knockoffs too.

Logitech also makes one and there are a few other knockoffs but Razer's is the best. I use the Tartarus V2 now but I've also owned an orb weaver and now that I've gotten used to it I can't play PC games without it anymore.

People online need to learn that being dumbfounded or asking a question has 0 to do with getting worked up.

If I didn't ask, I'd still be wondering. So what's the alternative? To ask... Which you get shamed for.

Maybe a better idea is this. Let people ask stuff and you can answer and help them, or ignore them. That makes sense to me.

Remember that tone of voice doesn't really exist online. What you are "hearing" is the way you read it.

i dont, but i prefer a mouse and you generally have to use a keyboard to play with a mouse. in a perfect world there'd be a keyboard on the market with a left joystick attachment so you could use that instead of wasd.

Typical CE harassment. Would you like to contribute anything to the topic or do you prefer to just harass people instead?

Someone showed me a new device that kind of proved me wrong about Keyboard and mouse and I was excited to see that.

Oh wait sorry... I'm supposed to be mad. I'm supposed to not talk.

I'm really sick of this harassment bullshit on CE. All of you are always toxic to people.

Sometimes I wonder why I still post here. It's filled with a bunch of older men who are dicks to everybody. But sadly talking about gaming is toxic everywhere. Here. Reddit. Everywhere.

No. Duke Nukem 3D used the arrow keys too, at least the first version. You might be confusing it with a source port or the Anniversary Edition on steam. the A key was used to Swim/Fly upwards and Z to go downwards.

People did take it seriously. I already got the responses I wanted.

I think wasd is shit and I explained why. Sorry if you have a hard time reading. Somehow you missed about three lengthy responses of me talking about why it's bad. Amazing actually.

No. All of you are just toxic as usual. And angry. All of you want to see people feel like crap and deserve bad shit. It's in every topic. Ridicule people, harass them, it's all Gamefaqs. You're a part of it.

Typical "are you okay" post because I don't like something. I mention a lost someone to covid because I'm honest. Another troll response to that too. Great people here. All of you are model human beings for sure.
