I just learned about the EDSF type of key bindings, and wanted to learn more about it. To me personally, it makes sense. It opens up more keys and also is in a nice natural state where your left hand would usually be on the keyboard when typing.

 

But I wanna hear your guys' opinions. Have you tried ESDF when it comes to games (Mostly FPS's like CS:GO or Call of Duty and such)? And if so, did you like it, and do you still use it? 

 

I would like to learn more as I've always been used to using WASD while playing CS:GO

Personally, I tried it and it took a little getting used to before I was able to play comfortably. First off, I was not used to having my pinky further away from the other fingers to reach the SHIFT key. After about 2-3 games, I got used to it but soon went back to using the regular WASD key binds. Couldn't find use for the extra keys.

Do you have each projectile binded to one key? I had a little issue with doing that on WASD because the only projectile I was missing the decoy nade. But ESDF I could fit that in. I find that it helps to have one to each button so that you aren't pressing 4 multiple times and also not using the scroll wheel (Which you should NEVER use)

Ahhhh. I see. I don't really have a problem with projectiles. I use my mouse for that :P The G502's buttons are really useful for a game like CS:GO
