Hand positioning- Hotkeying

[Fancypants6000]

Hey guys, I have recently been experimenting with different hand positions for hot-keying.

I use the Huahwi setup (Sword,FnS,Rod,Bow) and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for how to set up where to put my hands on the keyboard.

I currently use thumb on space, pointer on W, and middle on shift (Because when I run, I use shift+w)

To hotkey, I move up my middle to 3, ring to 1. (And 2 to FnS)

Any suggestions?

Most confusing way to do it.

Have middle on W, have pointer on 3, and have ring finger on 1. Pinky on shift for sprint. eZ

Hmm, well my keyboard is quite big, so that is kinda difficult to do.

what keyboard is it? I have a razer blackwidow, so I doubt it's that big

Mine is just the regular Acer keyboard that came with my computer XD

a blackwidow is much bigger than that.

I have a Razer Naga, once you get used to it it's SOOOOO good.

He's talking about hotkeying. I have numbers 1-9 on the side of my mouse so all I have to do is press those to hotkey.

Your setup feels weird. I have my middle finger on W alright, but have a hybrid-ish way of scrolling to slot 2 then hotkeying back to 1 with my left ring finger. I can't have my middle and index fingers so close together on 3 and W like that as Q is my sprint key and R is my F5 which my index finger almost constantly touches. Only downside of this is I'm clumsy and end up pressing F1 instead of 1. I'm not exactly the most dextrous individual. :S

his setup is actually the most common lmao
I use ring for 1 and 2. Pointer for 3,4,5,6. Scroll to 7 and mouse buttons for 8 and 9.
