For keyboard and mousers, what do you use to bar swap?

So far I've landed on caps lock for bar swap; awsd for movement, space for jump, ctrl for targeting, c for crouch, so my left hand pinky bar swaps. Anyone have a better suggestion? Thank you.

    Depending what mouse you have, I have my barswap on the Mouse 4 key under my thumb along with push-to-talk for Discord on Mouse 5.

    the "center" mouse button works best for me
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    12-key thumbpad mouse like razer naga/epic.

    12346 are abilities, 5 is interact, 7 is quickslots, 8 is ultimate, 9 is weapon swap, 10 and 12 are strafe, 11 is back pedal. Forward Shoulder button is mount, Rear Shoulder button is dodge roll, middle mouse button is auto run. Other hand is on the arrow keys, 0 on the numpad is jump.

    I use my left hand on the right side of the keyboard with it slid way over; home is forward, end is backward, delete is left, page down is right, num 0 is jump, period/delete is bar swap. All skills are on my 7 button razer naga trinity.

    I use scroll up for primary bar and scroll down for secondary bar. In lag, it means I will end up on whichever bar I want eventually, without the risk of it swapping back.

    I use my mouse wheel, the side clicks, not to rolling part.

    I use a Logitech G502 Mouse and there are small buttons along the top left edge. The small button at the furthest point back rides slightly against my Thumb. I use that button for bar swapping and it works amazingly well.

    For Synergy I use the middle mouse button. This way I never have to move my left hand from the directional keys. It makes for smooth and fast game play to me and does not stress my fingers at all.

    I too use the scroll wheel left and right scroll clicks. Left for bar 1, right for bar 2. In lag the bar swap / toggle is not reliable.

    My mouse has the ability for me to push the scroll wheel as a button. I just tap the scroll wheel to the right to swap weapons.

    Yelling "swap" in front of my screen, with a voice recognition software installed.
    it opens the map instead, sometimes, though.
    Not compatible with eating chips.

    Just kidding, I use the control-wheel click, on the mouse.

    Default ~ key.

    I've also bound bar swap to the - button so my 12 button MMO mouse can be used to bar swap by pressing button number 11.

    This is the business. As per Narvuntien I like it as a hot toggle rather than a L=1, R=2 as some others have suggested...but to each their own.

    My mouse wheel.
    To the right for dodge roll, to the left to bar swap.
    Works lightning fast. :)
