Looking for controls advice

Hi,
I find the keyboard layout a bit uncomfortable, the main issue is that I can't use skills (1,2,3,4,5) without releasing some of the direction keys (A,S,D,W) so this mean that when rotations are fast paced I have to be a bit static. I understand that if I keep practicing I will get better at it but my question is not about how to get better but about having a better experience, sadly I don't really enjoy the controls and I was wondering if anyone has found a better layout or has any other advice, I already tried a controller but I don't find the experience better.

    I use an old Razer Naga model, it was a bit challenging to switch at first but it makes a big difference.

    I also use a raza naga mouse with 12 buttons. I use just 6 for my skills and it works well.

    Skills 123
    456 mouse buttons with right hand


    Then keyboard / right hand i use ;
    R for ultimate
    T for synergy
    F for interrupt
    Tab for bar swap

    I find using a 12 button mouse and then binding my keyboard keys as above has made a huge difference to my game experience.

    Then i use f1 for toggle walk run
    F2 for dismiss pet
    And all other function keys for armour swap or trait buddy so basically addons

    I use ESDF for movement and W/R for bar swaps.

    Thanks for the answers, an mmorpg mouse could work but sadly the good ones seems expensive and this is the only game I play where controls are an issue.

    I also find the reach to 1-5 more than I like. So I use QWERT for my five skills.

    I use spacebar and B for forwards and backwards. That frees up a couple keys and puts my thumb to work. Then I use S and D for left right and work around it, remapping other skills as needed.

    My current mouse has two side buttons that help alot. I've tried and rejected mice with 7 and 12 side buttons; My thumb gets lost among them and gets sore (old joints).

    If you're using WASD, reaching 1, 4 and especially 5 is kind of a headache. Consider Q23ER instead.
