I’m sort of curious how other people use Hot Keys when they play this game. I used to be a dirty clicker. Then I learnt the greatness that is the 12 button mouse. I hot key 36 total abilities. And use bartender to organize. And I use the thumb on my right hand controlling the mouse to use my abilities.
Does anyone else play like this?
I only ask because when I ask my guild friends, they all play with keyboard hotkeys. I don’t even know how that’s possible. Like, what does that even look like? How does your hand reach across the keyboard? Do you not use WASD to move your character, with a mouse to look around?
I’m so confused.
I mean I’m sure there’s people out there using a 12 button mouse. The mouse exists after all. But I feel like I’ve never met anyone else who actually does.

I mostly use an xbox controller these days, although I’ve used a naga mouse in the past.
Yeah, I do. I have 15 binds on my mouse.
My binds are 1-6, F1-F4, R, T, C, G, Shift-R, Shift-T, Shift-F.
The 15 binds on my mouse are all num-pad keys, with ctrl modifiers for them as well.
A controller for WoW? That’s be hard, no? Fascinating really.
I used a razor naga for a couple years. Two actually. Both broke. Too expensive for the poor quality. Now I just use a cheap UtechSmart it it works great. No epileptic mouse cursor or failing buttons.
It’s all I use. I have the razer one and the Corsair one and prefer the latter. I use my left hand for wasd but also for alt, ctr and shift modifies and also have q,e,r,t,f and g for spells with the various modifies as well. Plus have 1-12 with 3 different modifies is all you ever need and playing is extremely smooth.

Ahh okay, but you still use keyboard shortcuts as well? Interesting.
See, I use all 12 buttons, then modifiers for all 12 with ctrl and alt. For a total of 36. No keyboard hotkeys at all.
You can get 40+ key binds on a standard controller, which covers most things. I still have some key binds on my kb for spells that rarely get used. The targeting can be a little janky, but it’s good for casual play.
I don’t recommend using one to heal.

Yeah, I use both. I thought about adding ctrl modifiers for all of my mouse keys, but just in addition to my keyboard keys as well.
My wife uses the MMO mouse and she loves it.

Ahh yeah with healing I use all mouse over macros.
I’m assuming you key bind tab for targeting to L or R? I might have to look into this.

Nope, because there is no game in the market that I needed it for . Maybe a disabled guy I can see it working out or you need your other hand to do something 
You can bind it to just about any button you want. I have it bound to the L shoulder button, which is most comfortable for me.
I wonder how much playing you’ve had to do to get the muscle memory to do both!?
Buddy of mine uses mouse for all his abilities. I use a keypad for the majority of my abilities and put random ones on my 12 button mouse.
keybinds that are needed in combat are all on the left side of the keyboard so there’s very little movement needed
i have big hands and big thumbs so having 200 fiddly little teeny buttons on my mouse doesn’t work for me. i’ve got 4 “bonus” buttons for my thumb which is plenty for me.
Mine is uh. Lets see. It has 7. I mostly do a mix of key pushing and mouse.
I use default UI tho. I just can’t stand some of the addons ya’ll use for that.
