A Crazy Solution To The Growing Problems of Inadequate Preparation For Duties.

Like I said in my original post, I could be "better" than I am but I don't want to do what's necessary to be "better" because its not only not comfortable physically, but its just plain not fun for me.

I don't know if you play consoles, but if you do you might want to give the controller a try. I play on PS4 and it works perfectly. I honestly can't imagine myself playing on keyboard & mouse. Holding ctrl and/or alt while trying to reach the number keys alone is, as you say, finger gymnastics on a level I can't imagine would be comfortable for anyone. The controller, on the other hand, requires very little finger movement, every button is right under your thumb or forefinger and easy to hit. It's a dream.

I'm more comfy with a keyboard + mouse... using shift/ctrl for binds isnt bad cause my pinky is usually right over them so its just a slight adjustment to press them and still hit W to move+steer with mouse. ive played mmo's for decades with a keyboard + mouse, the idea of using a game controller isn't something I'm really interested in.
