    I'm lucky that I am left handed. I use the mouse with my left hand and use it to attack, block, interrupt and switch bars. I use the number pad for just about everything else.

    8 move forward
    2 move backward
    4 go left
    6 go right
    9 ultimate
    1 synergize
    3 crouch
    0 jump
    Enter loot, open doors all that
    + sprint
    - sheath
    left arrow skill one
    down arrow skill two
    right arrow skill three
    up arrow skill four
    page down skill five.

    I use my right thumb for my first for skills so I don't have to move my hand to use them.

    I have a mouse with extra buttons on the sides but I am really clumsy using it so I assigned addon toggles to them.

    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    It really only is a skill and muscle memory issue. I play ESO and score push in vet trials just using a regular keyboard and 5-button mouse, with my abilities mapped to the default 1-5 keys.

    The key (haha) here is to just give the ability keys a quick and gentle tap to activate. No need to prolong your time with fingers off your movement keys. Another is knowing how to manipulate your character movements, such as strafing and moving your camera around.

    It's really all in the finger dexterity. Play long enough and you'll develop veteran fingering skills like I have.

    yeah, number keys work quite well, assuming the skills fire with that 'gentle tap,' ofc.

    no guarantee of that in this game. none.

    A quality MMO mouse only runs about $40 and has all the buttons you could ever need for abilities. I used a Naga Razer Chroma. The abilities keys are not convenient to use, but it's reidiculously easy to use the nam pad on the mouse, and it won't be a detriment to swift maneuvering during combat.

    ^this. but i still run skills from the number keys, mouse is for mount, bar swap, ult, dodge roll, etc etc. i use a cheap mmo mouse as several of the razor products i own have failed to amaze me.

    ymmv, obviously.

    I use the razer epic chroma and just a standard keyboard. The chroma has 12 buttons on the side for your thumb which I use for skills and potions and 2 on top that I use for crouch and weapon swap. The middle mouse button is mapped to my ultimate. Best mouse for me. Might be a little overkill but I wouldn’t switch to another after using it.

    I like using the Logitech G13 Keyboard and G500s mouse.

    the keyboard has 78 programmable keys and a "Mini-D Stick" that sits just under my thumb. The LED screen shows me my CPU & RAM data.
    On the mouse I can push my wheel left to weapon swap and right to dodge roll with my TeamsSpeak "push to talk" button on the side.
    TBH, I can't play with a normal K&M anymore! Lol... :smiley:

    MMO mice are great if MMOs are all you play. But if you play shooters too, you'll want a mouse with a good sensor (which MMO mice do not have; not to mention their weight/balance isn't good for flicking).

    wut? Most mmo mice you can adjust the speed and weight, please dont say such nonsense. Everything you can do on a normal mouse you can do better on a good mmo mouse.

    Well it depends on the MMO mouse. Some of them are massive and a bit heavy, I use the smallest one I could find with 7 thumb buttons and I think it’s a happy medium between the two.

    But there’s one thing that’s indisputable - if you’re using the same finger to move as you are to hit your skills, you’re putting yourself at a significant disadvantage when it comes to PvP combat. You’ll have serious trouble connecting with people who “walk through” or circle strafe you.

    Again, most mmo mice , at least good ones, have weights inside the mouse, so you can make it heavier or lighter. I prefer a heavier mouse, but if I wanted to, I could take out all the weights and have it light as a feather.
