Keyboard Only

[Asiaine]

I'm not sure I understand. I am playing now and am Keyboard Only (99% of the time). For skills that require placing a target on ground (like moving Fairy or Shadow flare) I need to use the mouse still (although it can be done with look controls, just not as gracefully).

Is this the concern?

To clarify, I'm looking for two things.

1. Officially Supported Option: Keyboard Control exactly like 1.0 or FFXI
2. 100% Keyboard Only

In order to make this happen, I'm assuming they have to shift the UI a little bit or open the API so we can do it ourselves Please continue to bump for visibility.

For the love of god, no.

Keyboard turners... *shudder*

You're misinterpreting the kind of controls that keyboard-only people want. You picture it as mouse+keyboard without the mouse, but what they want is something closer to playing on pad but with all the inputs mapped to the keyboard. So there wouldn't be keyboard turning since there would be full instant 8-way run similar to 360 degree analogue movement on a pad.

Except you don't get the analog part of it since Keyboards are digital.

It sure was keyboard only last night when my mouse batteries died in the middle of a chaotic boss fight... and I was healer! I still think it was a secret boss move that drained my batteries. Very sneaky, SE!!

And this is why you don't use a Wireless mouse. Well one of the reasons.

It has an on-screen warning that tells me it is going to die well before it dies. But, I just reformatted my PC and hadn't installed it yet. Needless to say, it is installed now. =D

Most Wireless devices have such a prompt, still won't use them in games. Even my G700 is wireless, but also functions over the cable, so it's only wireless when I use my Desknote for something. While not as important for this game, Wireless adds latency, can also be interrupted and interfered with, not to mention the battery problem you experience from time to time.

But I love my mouse. D:
