Keyboard and mouse

morph1976

Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice... I used to play eso on xbox so was used to keypad but moved to pc for qol but kept with game pad as I found kb/m difficult. I have a gaming keyboard and decent mouse with side buttons. I prefer the ui with keyboard but unsure how to efficiently map my keyboard. I know getting used to keyboard will be difficult at first but want a better experience than pad as it's getting a bit shot at, any suggestions please

1: practice, you'll figure it out
2: bind the more often used powers [spamables/heals] to your mouse buttons
3: bind dodge roll to left alt, easier than double tapping
4: bind the other things [break free, bar swap, quick wheel, ect] to what feels the most comfortble to ya

idk

I do not know what type of mouse you are using. I have one with 12 buttons on the side and use that for everything from skilled, bar swap, potions and a few more things. Outside of the direction keys and movement everything else I use while in combat is on that mouse.

Over time I have tweaks it to what works for me and that is really something that is personal to everyone. I do have my 5 skills and bar swap on the middle two rows.

Also, it takes time to develop the muscle memory so be patient.

If you can look up a Logitech G13. I came from Xbox and use the G13 and Razer Naga mouse found it to be a pretty easy switch.

Are there enough keys on g13 for everything u could need for eso?

I dont make many adjustments.

I do move the Ultimate to 6 , (from R ), and I put potions on 7 ( because I keep accidentally using them at Q )

I set up F9 to take screenshots and F12 to make the GUI invisible

I just use the other mapped keys as they are

Well with my Razer Naga I have plenty of keys and buttons. I use the thumbstick and two buttons by it for menus, mounting and map.

I was using a Logitech G11 keyboard and a Logitech G502 Proteus gaming mouse when I started in the summer of 2018, but I ditched those this year in favor of a Razer Orbweaver Chroma keypad, Redragon K556 keyboard, and a Redragon M908 MMO mouse (12 side-buttons).

I still suck.

Thanks for all your replys guys

Middle mouse button for roll and tab for bar swap are the only key binds I use.

I keep the changes small so it's easy to configure each time I make a new PTS character.

I also hate micw buttons. Lots of people use side buttons and scroll binds, not me, don't like how it feels.

tbh don't bother with a game pad, just go with a normal keyboard of your choice, but I highly suggest getting a logitech g600 mouse. Do not buy the razor counterpart, the naga, for some reason they end up having multiple problems within a month or so and cost 3x the price. I went through 3 of them until I got a g600 which has lasted me two years so far.

with the 12 buttons on the side of the mouse, you can make animation cancelling really simple for yourself.

Not sure where you buy your Naga but I own two. One for traveling and laptop when home and the other for home PC. I used to travel 48 weeks a year and my razer has lasted three years on the road with no issues.

Now I have never owned a logitech G600 so not going to go your route and blindly bash it, just stating the Naga is a quality mouse.

All I'm saying is my Naga is fine.

I think with Razer when one goes wrong it gets treated like 100 did. I can understand given the price but honestly I think the failure rate is actually no different than any other brand.
