Greetings stubborn keyboard users. I too had left the gamepad behind over 10 years ago when I began my MMO career and left the consoles behind. Custom keybinding played a huge role in optimizing my gameplay. In the last game I subscribed to nearly every key was set up with a custom binding, including multiple functions depending on modifiers such as CTRL, ALT, or Shift being held while pressing the buttons.

After my first few hours in Eorzea, I realized that this wonderful game was meant to be played using a gamepad. Since I was paying no monthly fee, I decided to use that $20 to buy a Logitech Gamepad F310 and after hours of daily gaming my hands no longer cramp up from stretching to hit all those custom keybinds I had used for years.

I love using the Gamepad, everything is so intuitive and easy to reach I fully recommend you get one for yourself and experience the game the way it was meant to be played.

Best wishes for custom keybinds as well though.
