How do you use WASD?

DatSniper

So i recently found out that i've been using WASD differently from my friends, and I want to see how many other people use it/ opinions on it. I have my pinky on shift and control, ring finger on tab, middle finger on a and q, index finger on w, e and s and thumb on d, z, x, c, v, b, r, f, g and space. [EDIT] yeah i forgot D

Left hand: Ring finger on A, middle on W, index on D and thumb on space; I don't use S regularly and my pinky finger doesn't see regular use unless I'm checking a scoreboard.

Right hand is dedicated to my mouse.

This for me, except I use thumb on space often and pinky on shift often.

ew thats a gross way to use a keyboard, and probably damages your wrist in some fun way too. 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

so you can't move forward and turn right at the same time? I use my middle finger for w/s, my ring finger for a/tab/q, my index for d, x and c, my thumb for everything else that is on the right of D and alt and my pinky for modifiers on the left.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I used to use ESDF for most shooters, but these days I'm using WASD:

 

Pinky = Ctrl, Shift, CAPS LOCK (for scope toggle), Tab, ~Tilde~, macros G1-G5, and G6 (switch character or loadout)

Ring = Z, A, Q, 1, Windows key, and macro G7 (map or M key)

Middle = X, S, W, 2, and macro G8 (night vision or N key)

Pointer = C, D, E, 3, V, F, R, 4, and macro G9 (Inventory or I key)

Thumb = Alt, Spacebar, and B.

Not necessarily. If OP uses keyboard in some odd angle.
