Is your left and right arrow strafe or turn?

I've actually had a g600 for 6 months but I just haven't committed to training myself to use it. I'm trying a bit more now because it seems like one of my best options for getting better at Wildstar combat. One thing I'm considering is putting strafe left/right on the thumb buttons because then I can use my left hand for skills exclusively and not worry about movement. I haven't tried strafe on the mouse yet, maybe I'll make a second profile for it and see how it compares to putting all my abilities on there. The one thing that gets me is I use 7-12 on my g600 and there's more skills I need than that, but 1-6 are harder to hit with my mouse grip / hand size. Man, this game has way more to consider than I'm used to for hotkey setups, I've NEVER had to put this much thought into it (not a bad thing :) )

I could also move the strafe keys from a/d up a row because what's killing me really, is the constant movement and holding down my spam ability. In most MMO's movement isn't required nearly as constant and skills have longer cd's cast times / GCD so there's more downtime between actions and holding down 1 while keeping my fingers one a/d for strafing isn't working well at all. Or maybe just moving spam to 2... so much to consider... so many possibilities!

Seconded. Especially in the case of "charged" abilities that allow movement, using the keyboard is very impractical.

Yah i would have to agree with this... If you plan on playing many other games where having a Naga mouse would be useful (ie SWTOR or WoW) then yah get it. But for games with limited abilities like GW2, Wildstar or The Secret World (imo) a Naga mouse is overkill. You could bind all your key attacks to 1-4 or 1-5 and then some more to Q, E or Z, E, and C too. @ OP just try practicing on a stationary object. First just focus only on movement, worry about attacks later. Pick a stationary object of any kind in a town or city and just pretend that it is your kill target. Just start circle strafing around it close range, medium range and long range. Then throw in one attack, then bring it up to two attacks and so on. Even if the attack on the keybind requires a target it doesnt matter. Just reach over to press it and imagine that it is firing off at your imaginary target. Kinda like what i'm doing in the video below with that lightpost as my "target". https://youtu.be/HYjv8DiXKwo
