What keys do you use to play? I don’t have enough!

I use WASD and my Mouse to move so i can always cast and run at the same time.

I use 1,2,3,4 with spells i use allot

Then i have 19 buttons on my mouse
Then another 19 on my mouse using ALT

Thing is i still need more keys yet i’m struggling to find anything that doesn’t feel unnatural to reach.
Ctrl and Shift physically hurt my pinky finger to reach.

I’m also using F and E for Targeting and Focus.

Was interested to find out what other people use, i just can’t see how anyone can use Ctrl and Shift.

mouse scroll up and down anyone recommend this?

I bind more things on mouse, and then add shift+ etc on mouse keys.

Gaming mice, what wonderful inventions.

Im using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ) 5 is my beam spell, 6 is interupt, 7 is sprint and 8 is hook. I also use Q,E,R and CTRL+1, CTRL+2 and CTRL+3 also my middle mouse is Blind.
I still need like 3-4 more buttons but I just cant find a reachable spot for them

Do you mean you have moved shift to your mouse? If so how do you do that?

Ido already use mouse when up and down + Left and Right, and middle click. Forgot to mention that.

nah, just when I use shift and mouse key, then the mouse key does different thing. I just have allocated more abilities to mouse, so I have plenty of keys free under my left hand,

You can reach up to 8! wow, i struggle to reach 5 so hence i don’t bother with anymore than 4!

1-5 should be easy to reach then q, e, r ,t, f ,g, z, x, c, and v are all close to wasd. Also you should have some key on the left side of 1 as well.
Then you just add shift, ctrl, and alt modifiers on top and you have 16 * 3 = 48 keybinds.

Then you can bind stuff you don’t need in combat to F1-F5 which are all quite easily reachable. Most people have thumb buttons for mouse and you can add shift, ctrl, and alt modifiers for thous as well to get 6 more buttons.

Just use the keyboard.

My interrupt button on all my toons is always 6 , dont know why just used to it

I have a Razer mouse with2 side buttons, one is for target next enemy, the other for interrupt.

I click on the spells! Easy

A combination of 1-6
ALT
SHIFT
CTRL
extra mouse buttons.
Like alt -1, CTRL-mouse button 6 and so forth. I don’t have many physical buttons available(don’t have those gazillion button gaming mice :rofl: ) So I just make a lot of combinations to get the job done.

I got 12 buttons on my mouse that I can use for keybinding. I set them as P + Q and O + L or stuff like that so they dont get confused with other keybinds I use. I’ll just write down MS1(mouse side 1), MS2, MS3 etc for shorter. Here are the keys I use for abilities:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5
  6. F
  7. G
  8. Alt+ 1
  9. Alt+ 2
  10. Alt+ 3
  11. Shift + Tab
  12. R
  13. T
  14. Shift + Q
  15. Shift + W
  16. Shift + E
  17. Shift + R
  18. Shift + A
  19. Shift + S
  20. Shift + D
  21. Shift + F
  22. Shift + G (Yeah I have no shift + T for some reason even though I use normal T alot)
  23. Shift + 1
  24. Shift + 2
  25. Shift + 3
  26. Shift + 5 (Yeah I dont have shift + 4 either)
  27. MS1
  28. MS2
  29. MS3
  30. MS4
  31. MS5
  32. MS6
  33. MS7
  34. MS8
  35. MS9
  36. MS10
  37. MS11
  38. MS12

I dont have any keybinds for stuff like eagle eyes, dismiss pet, summon pet, mage food, etc.

I didnt realise I used this much keybinding. Wow.

Edit: I could always add many more when I combine alt with other stuff like q,w,e,r,a,s,d,f,g etc. But I never had to. I didnt choose it over others because I find it harder than others, though with enough practice I bet it would be easy due to muscle memory.

You can’t make that up. I use interrupt across all toons on 6 too and stun on 8.

i use 1 - = on the keyboard, moues wheel up & down. Ctrl, shift with previous mentioned bindings and then alt modifiers for classes like warlock and shaman.

1234567vrtfy`

SHIFT+1234567eghvrtfy`

Ctrl + eghvrtfyz`

I don’t use all of them since I don’t need them, but I’m prepared to utilize them fully and add more :stuck_out_tongue:

How do you reach Shift 6/7?

I have issues reaching shift 5 sometimes :thinking:, big hands I suppose…

I use WSAD for moving numbers alongside q,e, r, t, z, x, c, v for spells and various combos of those with ctrl, alt or shift.

Well for movement I use wasd - I should unbind s
Mouse right click for turning.

Main 4 spells eqrf
2ndary spells 123vxctz
Interrupt shift r
Others key binds shift efrx
Mouse wheel up for heroic leap Sprint etc
Mouse wheel down
F1f2f3 if I feel spell is important to use like druid forms

Caps lock for auto run so many times I chat with caps in full angry mode

In pve this is enough - In PvP these keys might be problematic

I don’t go above 3 lol :joy:
