PC players, what keybinds do you use so you can actually play?

Seriously. Big fan of the Razer Naga Trinity as it gives you 3 options for different layouts of your right thumb. I almost always use the 12 button configuration, looks like this:




I cant even fathom playing this game without it. I use the 12 buttons for all my skill slots, roll, break free, and several quickslots. I use my left hand for movement, and my left thumb does bar swapping, tab targeting, and jumping.


Edit: Here is a better pic of the Naga Trinity:

Quickslot: Backspace
Interact: Enter
Weapon Swap: Mouse Wheel Up
Synergy: Mouse Wheel Down

@SirAndy
If I didnt know you were actually really f'ing good at this game, I would think you were a crazy person with this setup. Haha But hey, if it works for you (and clearly it does) then who is anyone to criticize.

I am so used to the mouse that if i have to play with normal one it is like playing with one hand.

Can you link one that you like? Does it need to have 5+ buttons for skills?

This mouse is amazing for ESO. it's not to many buttons, but lets you have all your skills and quickslots on the mouse.

I looked at this one, but figured I'd only ever use the 7 buttons probably so saved a little money and just the Naga V2 great mouse.

I do have a gaming mouse (Logitech G502 Proteus Core), but I don't have any of the buttons mapped for this game.

I do make use of my Logitech G11 keyboard, though.



This set-up keeps most of the most frequently-used buttons within very easy reach of my fingers, without moving my hand.
I also have some of my add-ons hot-keyed.

There is one shortfall; I don't have the 'D' key mapped to the G11 number pad, so I have to make do with moving forward, back, and left. I have the Spacebar mapped (for jumping) to where the 'D' key would logically be, in relation to where I have the other keys set.

I've gotten so used to having the keys for my games mapped to this keyboard, I'm gonna be hurtin' when it dies, if I can't find a similar keyboard to take its place.

I've got an original Logi G-15.... It's ANTIQUE. I'm going to be up a creek if it dies....

notyuu

just 4 little binds
M3: weapon swap
M4: power #4
M5: power #5
Left alt: dodge roll

setting the weapon swap and power binds to the mouse means I can sustain atttack while moving in ay direction...and having left alt be dodge roll is just damn more convenient than having you double tap anything

DeadlyRecluse

Gaming mouse.

Even a simple/cheap one will work. Mine has 4 thumb buttons, so I keep one skill bound to a keyboard input (but it's the skill I use least--usually like Inner Light, Siege Shield, or another skill slotted primarily for passives or situational use).

I don't bind ult to my mouse either, but ult isn't coming up as often, so I don't feel constrained by having to tap a key for that, either.

Naga Razer

1-5 skills
8 dodge roll
9 interrupt
10 weapon swap

VagabondLife

This mouse is the only reason I was ever able to run trials on my old laptop, with a 940m and average 4 FPS on boss fights.

Attacks and Skills are on buttons 1-6.

Buttons 7-12 are harder for me to reach (I have tiny hands, even for a girl) so I use 7-12 for macros. (Mostly crafting macros, and posting things like "Chest" to group chat in dungeons. Unfortunately combat macros don't really work - miss one weapon swap due to lag, and every skill that fires after that will be totally wrong...)

Light/Heavy Attacks on the left mouse button, Block in the middle. Makes attack weaving and animation cancelling super easy. You do it all with just your thumb and index finger.

Right mouse button - click to Interact with something, hold down to Move Forward. Just so I can run around and gather things with one hand, and drink my coffee with the other.

Keyboard hand - WASD, Weapon Swap, Sprint, Crouch, Interrupt, Block. Basically anything movement related is the keyboard hand, and anything attack related is the mouse hand.

Warning: I do recommend this mouse. It will change your gaming life. But once you get used to it, it will be impossible to ever go back...

Based on yours and other's feedback, I ordered an inexpensive Redragon MMO mouse. At a minimum, I can start by using the extra top button and the middle button to separate the weapon switch to two buttons. That way, if I want to be extra sure it switched to front bar or back bar, I can mash the button. With a single weapon swap button, if it doesnt switch because of lag, then you mash it, you never know what you're going to get...

RavenSworn

Here's my setup:

Basic gaming mouse, one that has an additional 2 buttons, usually its where your thumb would be. Cheap and easy to find.

I keybind weapon swap to the scroll button, either up or down will do.

Ability 1 I bind to the first additional button. Spammable.
Ability 2 I bind to the second additional button. Spammable or direct damage

Ability 3-4-5 I bind to Z-X-C respectively. It's usually my buffs and C is usually my execute.

F is my ultimate, but sometimes I change that to the middle mouse button. In times of great duress though I would accidentally ult when I want to weapon swap, that's why F is my go to for Ult.

All those secondary buttons such as player interaction or character page I bind to the number keys, usually in tandem with what you see ingame. So character is 1, skills is 2, etc.

The problem comes when you have alts and the controls go back to default. I usually spend a good 3 hours setting up the character from creation to first kill. But it does make life easier from then on.

I run a setup pretty similar to this ... but synergy is the middle mouse button and jump is mouse left thumb (Logitech Gaming Mouse).

Also, my abilities are Delete (1), End (2), Page down (3), Num 4 (4) and Num 5 (5).

Map is "?" which I kept from the Skyrim days.

@Gargath has "Jump" on Num 0 ... but I need that for quickslot since I PvP a lot ...

Gaming Mouse
All movement and primary attacks, game/NPC interactions are bound to my mouse. I hate WSAD movement.

Gaming keyboard.
Can set macros however with ESO I rarely use this for anything other than silly emote and say stuff.

ImmortalCX

I bound my ultimate to <ctrl><alt><del>.

I recommend you all do the same.

Bah! That's the command to unlock Jedi pre NGE!

AndrewQ84

I have Map, Crouch, Ultimate, Target (for every game that has a targeting system), weapon swap and certain macros (defensive spell macros in ffxiv for example) all tied to my mouse.

I also have my movement keys changed slightly.

And any game that has multiple hotbars, my secondary main bar has the first five spells all bound to Alt + (their respective number)

Oh, and my autorun in every game that has it is always my middle mouse button.

Oh, and my girlfriend places all of her cleanses (for any healing class in any game that has cleanses for debuffs) on her mouse.

Etienne_et_Isabeau

All skills on the mouse, except for Ultimate, which is Tab.

Light/heavy attacks = Left Mouse
#1 = Scroll Up
#2 = Scroll Down
#3 = Scroll Push
#4 = Right Mouse
#5 = Lower Thumb
Weapon Swap = Upper Thumb

And because I use Tab for Ultimate, I moved Potion from Q to T.

sno_flah_ke

yes its called a microsoft wireless controller and gamepad. works wonderfully

ewenness

I'm right handed but due to physical limitations have to make things work with limited hand movement, janky finger movement, and some degree of twitches and tremors. The mouse I use is a Corsair Scimitar PRO. Experimented quite a lot throughout multiple games and found that these keyboard binds make it fairly easy to reach everything while at the same time making it hard to press the wrong thing due to the buttons being spaced out and having varied shapes.

MOVEMENT

move forward - up arrow
back backward - down arrow
strafe to the left - left arrow
strafe to the right - right arrow

sprint - right shift
crouch - right ctrl

jump - numpad 0
autorun - numpad delete

- (dash) - use mount
. (dot) - toogle walk

FIGHTING

block - right mouse button
attack - left mouse buttons
interrupt - middle mouse button
dodge - left and right mouse button

weapon swap - numpad 1
activate synergy - numpad 2

ultimate - mouse side-button 6
quickslot - mouse side-button 12
action bar 1 to 5 - mouse side-buttons 1-5

(side-buttons 7 - 11 are not in use, no plans for them yet)

USER INTERFACE

interact with object - end
interact with player - delete
open character panel - home

open map - ű (button above right shift, next to enter)
open journal - á (button next to the above one, on its left)

(note that I use a localized keyboard so "ű" and "á" will be some other letter for you)

Camael

Razor or Roccat gaming mouses. Those are not too expensive and give you all you need:)

Jamdarius

The only thing I did with my mouse it to move block and weapon changing to it. Other stuff like skill etc stayed on keyboard as it was.

xMovingTarget

Mostly stock. Put weaponswap to tab and synergy to 6. That is it. Since ever I played eso, I had either a 12 thumb key Naga or 1 year ago changed to corsair scimitar. Also 12 keys. So I use skills and synergy on the mouse.

Strychnos

So the setup I use is pretty unholy. Aiming with a mouse is objectively better than using a controller, but I hate using WASD to move. My solution?
Using a Playstation Navigator controller along with a gamer mouse (one in each hand). ESO supports simultaneous mouse and gamepad inputs, so it work nicely!



My mouse has five buttons clustered around the thumb that I use for skills and I use the scroll wheel to dodge. On the Navigator I use one of the triggers to jump, the X button to swap weapons, and the directional pad to select potions/food/etc. I've got crouch mapped to pressing down on the joystick.

Essentially I use the mouse for combat related things and the Navigator to move and interact with the environment.

I think you will be happy with that mouse. Binding movement to my mouse was a game changer for me. since the mouse buttons are smaller than the keyboard and i have decently large hands binding other keys to the mouse didnt work well for me. I found it far easier to map my movement there. Weapon swap is nice to have right next to attack but it doesnt solve the unresponsiveness of weapon swap. Once you get use to it, it sure makes life easier though.
