When using my phone,it's always in my right hand and my left usually pushes all the buttons.. When riding my horses the reins are always in the right hand,the left handles anything else that needs handling.. The reason I use WASD probably stems more from it being a pattern in my life since way before I ever got on a computer,than anything else. hehehehe I thought you lived in the US, not the UK.

Ok, I know I should know the answer to this after all of these years, but how does one turn with a mouse? I found this on the Firestorm wiki: Quote "However, you can also walk using only the mouse: left click your mouse button on your avatar or name tag. Keep the left mouse button pressed down, and then also click the right mouse button. Your avatar will start walking forward. Move your mouse to “pilot” your avatar. Releasing either mouse button will stop walking." Or do you mean using the tiny movement control panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's changed, gamers usually call that swiping. Because when you move the mouse to turn you have to do it in a swiping motion by picking the mouse up and setting it back down as quickly as possible. Takes way more effort than just hitting one key. No, I'm not a lazy game player (I am not a gamer), I just use what is quickest and easiest for me being left handed and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this on the Firestorm wiki: Or do you mean using the tiny movement control panel? Aim with the mouse, yeah. Keeps the keyboard free for keybinds. Since SL has none, I wind up using W to move and keyboard macros for other stuff. 6 minutes ago, Selene Gregoire said: Unless it's changed, gamers usually call that swiping.

On the rough dirt roads I could have a cup of tea without a lid on it and not spill a drop doing 20 miles an hour and beat the ford chevy and dodge 4x4's back to the house for lunch coming off the mountain.. They were so big they couldn't go fast like me..hehehe and it rides smoother off road than it does on the pavement.. I just feel every bump in the road on pavement.. ETA: Forgot to say which one that was..That was with my 98 limited edition Grand Cherokee..We have a few jeeps,because I'm a jeep lover,but my husband is a Chevy man..

LyricalBookworm Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I use the arrow keys. I had no idea what WASD was until I started reading this thread. I learned something new today! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skell Dagger Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 WASD for pretty much every game that either allows it or lets me change keybinds. But for SL I still use the arrow keys. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Gamers will turn and walk in one direction while looking at another direction. I'm an FPS player in Second Life, a first person shopper. I like to strafe sideways past rows of vendors. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the term "strafe" always make me think of a scene from Dunkirk? I find myself imagining a wall of merchandise vendors riddled with bullet holes.

steeljane42 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 WASD, always. Can't remember when was the last time I did use the arrow keys anywhere. Keybinds, macros and movement is all under the left hand that way, so I can have it rest on keyboard as I always do. And being right handed I find it easier to move my right hand between mouse and keyboard for chat (when needed), than to move my left hand around keyboard too much. And yes (for statistics), I'm also a gamer and has been playing games for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It looks like there's a pattern developing here. Gamers are more comfortable with WASD. The rest of us like the arrows. That makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
