Removing A / D Keybinds

I see a lot of people removing the keybinds of A / D and replacing them with Q / E. I understand the utility for it, which is that you can keybind Q / E with spells. However, i’ve tried it and I can’t seem to adapt myself to this playstyle aka turning with right mouse click. 15 years of playing with original keybinds makes it impossible to switch. Anybody like me ?

I feel like its less efficient. Instead of moving quarter? inch up or down to hit Q-E / Z,X,C,S hot keys. I got to move an entire inch to hit the bot row of keybinds

Same boat, i just leave those 6 keys default, get an mmo mouse and give yourself an extra 30+ buttons

I’ve always liked having my strafe set to A/D. I have up to 48 keybinds plus the corsair 12 button mouse, so I don’t see a reason to change up what I’m comfortable with.

Do what feels right for you.

By experience, does it take a lot of time to adapt ?

I just put turning under Control A and D and strafing on A/D while using Q and E as binds and turn mainly with the right mouse button, it’s strange at first but easy enough to get used to.

I stopped using MMO Mice a year or so ago and just use a Viper Ultimate atm with over 35 binds, still don’t know how I do it :joy: I tried using my G502 today and I just couldn’t figure out what to put on it that made sense outside of my normal 1 and 2 binds. ( I don’t really use 3-5 )

Nah man, i actually utilize the mouse more now since i started healing this xpac, now i cant imagine healing without it. Though on dps i use the mouse keys for potions and cooldowns, feels odd to use damaging spells with the mouse buttons for some reason

I thought I was top of the line min maxer when I decided to only use the two strafes to turn with right mouse and rebind A and D

Alas, I’m a basic boi

I feel turning is too slow otherwise, I just bind strafe a and d. I already use the mouse to turn move the camera much of the time. Turning with it is intuitive
