Use a controller
keep practising with it, you'll get it eventually.
See a doctor, because your fingers should not do that.
Put your middle finger on W, your index finder on D and your ring finger on A, reverse if left handed. Not exactly quantum mechanics.
>reverse for left handed
Leftie here. Never understood this.
I still write/throw left but play games WASD. I've never flipped controls in games either except for IIDX.
On the topic of uncomfortable button layouts, am I the only one who doesn't use Lshift? I always use CapsLock - Lshift is just so awkward and annoying for me to press, it's like a mile away from my pinky.
shit, I mean to say "only one who uses Lshift"
>Admitting to being a disgusting lefty.
>not using RDFG
it's great, I have four keys I can press with my pinky and five with my thumb
People can probably play with either hand. I haven't noticed much difference with handedness in games. Some games used WASD (or d-pad on controllers) and it works just fine. Some games use arrow keys and it works just fine.
use RAGE
Get a $20-30 keypad. More money for your buck than a full keyboard, but if money isn't an issue then yeah just a good keyboard.
Either get a controller or get a more ergonomic keyboard. Gaming keyboards may have pretty lights, but easing the tension on your Ulnar Nerve is more important user.
Where do you keep your pinky the rest of the time?
On shift
Honestly LShift is like the natural position. The key I'm never using is goddamn LCtrl, it's pinky cramp inducing madness can go die in a fire
Thats why you bind crouch on ALT when playing shooters
Good luck trying to crouch jump
Exactly. Though the crouch jump is a good counterpoint, but it's not used much anymore. And crouch jump is mostly just forward, so you drop pointy finger to ALT and leave thumb on space
Don't worry. That propably means your finger muscles arent too buffed atm. Just don't over do it at first. You should be fine in a couple of days.
>Finger muscles
Hello underage
And that is why you also bind your crouch key to c. Makes it super easy to crouch jump
Then use an ortholinear, ya goof.
Good point. Though more often than not c is used for secondary weapon shit, cycle grenades, open weapon selection, hotkey for hardcore twink porn, that kind of shit
I meant the muscles on your palm lol. Silly me.
Remap movement to esdf. I started doing this 15 years ago so you dont leave home row to type.
ESDF is better
Absolutely this.
If I hadn't spent decades getting used to ESDF I'd be doing this. The OP is in the perfect position to train himself to do it right.
It's perfect for fps's and litralee nothing else
It's good for RPG's although I'm now wondering if TFGH is better. More options for the little finger
Finally a use for that retarded Alt Gr button?
Jesus I forgot that key even exists.
play some easy fps game
you get used to it quickly
I don't try and press LCtrl with my fingertip, I curl my pinky finger and hit it with my knuckle. Feels alright.
>being a yuro
real American keyboards dont got no altgr
If your hand isn't on the green buttons you plebian
wow, so hard
At least we can drink before the legal working age m8
FUCKING CONSOLEPLEB DETECTED
gross
Those are some disgusting fingers user.
stop chewing your fingernails you gross fuck
Am I the only one that changes mic key to C
Your fingers won't be killing you after you get ulnar neuropathy and you can't feel them anymore. :D
your fingers look gross
thanks
