The unbalanced advantage of game controllers and how to make keyboard play better.

[Alistaire]

I'm a keyboard player. To be more specific, I am a FFXI keyboard player. I have built my gameplay experience completely around using the keyboard for everything. numpad is used for movement, arrow keys control the camera. I used A, S, D, and X to control the menu movements. and I have two rows of action bars for doing stuff. I've been using macros to switch my primary action bar between 3 different bars on my lower row. I even have g-keys on my Logitech G-510s keyboard mapped out.

Even with all that it is not enough to compare to a game controller player.

Advantages for game controller players.
1: each cross bar provides 24 actions that can be accessed. 8 active at a time, "on the fly" swappable.
2: game controllers are ergonomically comfortable to access controls.
3: able to still used the normal hot bars to build a UI.

You might need to look up what the word "advantage" means. None of those 3 things are done better on controller vs keyboard, and that's what advantage means.
