I don't think I could handle using only my keyboard for everything lol, but props to those who can :D

This is exactly what I do.
The group of friends I play with also think I'm weird with how I move around...I changed the Q/E strafe keys to A/D and removed the default A/D completely...and I can only move my char if I have RMB held in. They all think I'm weird but I don't see how they can play with the default movement system. It's so weird and clunky to me.

I used to be a clicker. Don't have respect for them, it's a worse way to play, you cannot have your eyes peeled for aoes and healing party members when your eyes are glued on looking at your abilities to click them.

I became so much better at the game when I stopped being a clicker, it took a bit to adjust at first, but I'll never go back.
The only things I click nowadays is my mounts and my classes I have assigned to my side hotbars.

I use a custom macro keyboard with a 16 button mouse. Never had issues. Hmm..

I have no problems seeing any aoes when I click, unlike a lot of other people I've partied with... I have no problems healing either (except when too focused on dpsing, which does not happen very often).

Muscle memory does not work for me, so I'd just have to look at keyboard to see the buttons, which would be imensely worse than just looking at the screen and clicking.

I tried a few times to learn to play by keyboard, but it just did not click. I use my mouse for clicking and I use it for moving. I only use keyboard for talking.

Can you post your logs to FFlogs next time. I am not calling you out or nothing I am just amazed that you have such good reaction time and would like to learn!

Now now, this is an admiration thread, not a shaming thread. Those that can click and do fine in content I salute you, don't let people try to influence you. If you do decide to change things though gaming mouse is such a great solution, as I linked on my last post, there's one for $36. Either way it's all a matter of determination however it is we play.

I use a mix. My basic rotation/s is handled via keyboard, usually 1-6 and everything else is mouse clicks.

everything on my first hotbar, I use a key for. Everything else, I click. It's not as hard as you'd think, but I've been doing it this way for a loooong time, so I guess I'm just used to it by now!

I'm a hotkey person
1-12 (thumbgrid, 19 button mouse - Naga Trinity) - abilities
Ctrl - Hotbar 2
Alt - Hotbar 3
Ctrl + Alt - Hotbar 4
Shift - Pet hotbar

I could use Ctrl + Shift and Ctrl + Alt to set up hotbars 5 and 6, may do this when Shadowbringers rolls around, alongside rebinding Shift to a hotbar, and also adding Ctrl + Alt + Shift... 8 hotbars on keybind! 96 keybinds without needing to click. Just think of the POWER that'd achieve.
