Talk:WASD keys

message: With one hand on the mouse, and one hand on the cursors, I can probably reach punctuation, some of the numpad and and the ins -- pgdown keys, but it's pretty difficult. What's this about being able to reach half the keys? 90.242.37.219 (talk) 12:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually right-handed people are supposed to use WASD with the left hand. While left-handed people would need to use WASD with the right hand, and this is quite hard... Left-handed people out there, try out the configuration I said above.--Vittau 06:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The common difference between WASD and the Arrow keys, is that A and D normally strafe instead of turn. 
Is this really so?  I took it out of the article, but it can be put back in.  Many of the games that I've played use Arrow keys for strafing also. --pie4all88 02:05, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Should the perspective of games using WSAD really be mentioned?
It's popular in several top-down view games as well, usually for moving the camera while moving the character(s) by clicking your LMB. --Ashmodai 23:21, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:Most? I highly doubt it. You can't even say "wsad" because it sounds awkward.  Grue  16:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm saying "WSAD" because in Polish it is simpler and shorter to say than "WASD". Also in Polish Wiki this article is under WSAD title. I think it is a matter of language, not "most gamers" opinion. Hołek ҉ 17:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

text: If anything, WSAD should forward to WASD. I use "WSAD" myself but most people I know use "WASD". (Personally, I play using EDSF.) --- Trevie 17:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the article's scope is poorly defined. Is any combination of 4 keys considered to be WASD-like? What are we actually trying to address with this article? Perhaps we should consider renaming this to Movement keys. Ham Pastrami (talk) 06:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
