Not an issue for me. I use this keypad. The thumb stick is digital so I keep movement to the analog keys in WASD position. I use up on the thumb stick for space and down for ctrl so dodging that way feels smooth and natural, just a minor tense of the thumb, easier even than pressing the space bar on a keyboard. I use the side directions for 180 swivels in certain games.

Why is this an issue?
You use your left pinky all the time when you're doing normal non-gaming keyboard operations. And when you're doing that, you're not just using your pink for ctrl. You're using it for shift, the windows keys, alt and tab.
So why is it suddenly a big deal when you're playing a game that requires your pinky to babysit one (1) key?

Depends on the game, but for 3D games it's mostly on Spacebar (like with Monster Hunter, Vanquish, Vermtinide, Wuthering Waves)
Otherwise:
>2D games like platformers and beat-em-ups
In that case, I typically don't even play using my mouse, so I use JKLIOP for things like attacking, jumping, dodging, special weapons, etc. In most cases, I use L for dodging and K for jumping.
>the later Ys games (like Lacrimosa of Dana and Monstrum Nox)
Considering how insanely often dodging is performed in this game in and out of combat, I just put dodge on my right mouse button. Left mouse button is for attacking. Jumping is Spacebar.
>In the rare instance that a 2D game requires mouse camera control (like Rogue Legacy 2)
I just put dodging on my bottom left side button (my current mouse is a Logitech G304).

Yes. RAGE is best on an ergo keyboard that has a thumb cluster, Q34T if it's just normal.
Just transposing the arrow keys is dumb, plonk your entire fat hand on the keyboard in a comfy, relaxed position and see where your fingers end up.

Yeah it's fucked up. The most useless looking finger is the most functionally useful.

Again, you """""deform"""""" your left pinky a million times a day when your typing or browsing or doing non-gaming operations.
Every time you capitalize letters while typing (or want to use a secondary character like parentheses the way I'm doing right now), you're """""""""""""deforming"""""""""""" your left pinky by using it to hold down the shift key.
Every time you do basic shit like copying and pasting, you're pressing ctrl with your left pinky and """""""""""""deforming"""""""""""""""" it.
You do shit like this a billion times a day, even if you never use your keyboard to play games.

I use them all the time for navigating, I'm just retarded.
If it's something that I need to constantly press and it's bound to an annoying key then I might remember they exist and bind them, but usually what happens is IF I set them then it's as the secondary input for an action, so half the time I fallback to pressing G for grenade because that is what I'm used to.
Also I'm lazy, so unless the game puts Sprint/Crouch on the wrong keys (Ctrl/Shift) I'll just stick with the defaults.

You shouldn't rest your wrist on the table, it's bad for you in the long term. Rest your elbow on your table or armrest and keep your wrist slightly above the keyboard (doesn't have to as much as in the image). It takes some time to get used to it, but I have been doing it for years now, and I don't get any wrist pain anymore and I can reach all the keys more easily.

Both holding and tapping ctrl ain't that bad compared to the games that require you to hold shift and then hit ctrl WHILE HOLDING SHIFT to pull off some shitty ultrakill-ass powerslide.

I just do this? Green you use the fingertip for shift and the lower part of the finger for ctrl. If you really need to avoid shift, you move your little finger over (not pictured, shuffling your hand like a few mm to the left) and then just hit the ctrl.

Like the op picture only makes sense if you think that you HAVE to use the fingertip to press the key. Half the time when I hit space I'm using the side of my thumb.

You either rebind or put the sprint to toggle.

Usually quick melee in most games. I mapped the front one to block both in Dishonored and modded Skyrim that lets you block while dual-wielding. In FFXIV I mapped the front one to healers' instant single target spells and the one below it to instant AoE, for tank I used them for ranged pull aggro ability and AoE respectively.

No, the point is that with normal sized hands your pinky ends up resting on left shift (or higher) and it's very easy to curl it a bit to hit CTRL. You must have tiny baby hands for it to end up near Z or something.

A programmable 60% lets you reach every key that you would have to raise your hand for on a full size from the alphanumerics by holding a modifier down (like caps). You can program a numpad and navigation keys into your alphanumerics so you never need to raise, find, push, and reseat your hand.

>but modifiers are hard
Its no different to pushing Ctrl+C, you don't need a dedicated copy key do you?

>why stop at 60% why not go smaller
Because 60% has the standard layout for alphanumerics and the goal isn't to go a small as possible, it's to minimise the need to raise your hand / leave the alphanumerics.

The only keyboard sizes I have respect for are full-sized 104/105 users and programmable 60%s. Anything else is retarded, especially numpadless TKL layouts (the single most retarded layout).

Your complete inability to explain why speaks volumes. You're simply a retard. There's actually zero difference aside from

>>

Depends on the game. In shooters they are melee or grenade. Most recently in Windrose I use them for dodge and pistol draw.
I have a 3rd side button that is always bound to discord PTT.

Yeah, and accessing functions within the alphanumerics is a "shortcut" you complete fucking moron.
I have demonstrated the value of programmable 60%'s and you have absolutely no counter-argument. You have completely failed to explain the value in having a dedicated key when I can access the exact same functionality from the home row.
You lost.

The problem is you keep your fingers fully stretched and as such your palm is far away from the keyboard. If I stretch my fingers out my pinky is on Caps Lock but I actually use a keyboard with my hands at an angle (because the alphanumeric part is far narrower than my shoulder width) and my fingers are somewhat curled when typing. I hit Ctrl with the top part of my palm and in this position my pinky is on Tab.

Are you actually retarded? The this part of your palm is pretty much already on top of the CTRL button. Just tilt your hand slightly.

I strongly believe the reason Europeans are better than Muttoids at PC gaming is because of the ISO layout and extra key.

Either jump and crouch, melee and crouch, or run and crouch depending on game.
>>
>>738398719
who holds wasd like this? my hand hurts just watching this
>>
>>738382864
The way I place my hand on the keyboard, I basically press the bottom edge of the Ctrl key like that, it's impossible to hit Shift by accident.

I use a wrist rest (?) between my keyboard and me, and I use another on my mouse so I'm always level with both. It really helps, I haven't had wrist pain in years.
I imagine cranking it will be the death of me, tho.

Why would holding E be an issue? Just hold off on moving right for like a second.

I've got a replacement lined up so I'll be good for now, but I will never forgive logitech for discontinuing these so they could make more memeshit diagonal "ergonomic" (read: for retards) mice
this feature is useful for literally every single video game, not just mobas and MMOs

Do you have baby hands or something?
I don't have particularly large hands but my pinky rest on the left CTRL and SHIFT without any effort.

Rebinding Caps to Control is the correct answer if you lack the Emacs user dexterity to master the Control key. Rebinding Caps to Escape probably is counter productive for gamers, so this seems like the best option all around.
>>
>>738382567
Depends on the game really. for example
>Noita
>Equip primary wand
>Equip water flask
>>
Why the hell dont more games have contextual keys like Elden Ring? I liked how pressing shift was dodge but holding shift was sprint.
>>
>>738382523
tap shift = dodge
hold shift = sprint
ideally no sprint but you know whatever

Usually a utility function
In games with dedicated melee buttons, I always put it on the mouse. I also put potions/flasks/canteens, utility/buff skills, ultimate skills, grenades, and sometimes interaction binds on it.
>>
>>738382486
i press it with the base of my pinky #getonmylevel

>>738382567
top button depends on the game but usually quick melee or grenade
bottom button is crouch, especially if the game has some kind of sliding/movement tied to crouching

Draw an actual hand and the small finger should be just over both shift and ctrl
