WASD or Arrows?

Just wondering if anyone else uses the arrows because I know most people use WASD and basically all games default to WASD for moving.

I'm a lefty and prefer to use the mouse with my left hand and I use the arrows for moving, right-ctrl for crouching, the 0/Ins key on the numberpad for jumping, and the 1/End key on the numberpad for lying down.

Do you use WASD or Arrows while gaming?

1. WASD
2. Arrows
3. Other

I have other, ESDF. You have more keys to use and the pimple on F is great for orientation if you have to switch fast from joystick to keyboard.

Wow! That takes me back to the days of playing Amiga 500 games in the 1980s and early '90s!
Almost everything used a joystick!

But the way - I may have accidentally clicked report on this post.  That was a mistake - sorry if I inconvenienced anyone.

I use esdf. It's similar to wasd but one finger space over.  You have access to a few more keys with your pinky finger.

My first game, Spindizzy with Joystick

But when you fly with mouse and KB for years, then it's very hard to change to KB only or Joystick. It feels like you go outside without cloths.
