    I definitely am using both Shift and Ctrl as modifiers. The issue is that I simply don't have the dexterity to reliably hit many buttons on the keyboard. Realistically, any number past 4 when I'm hovering WASD only has a chance of being the right button, and 7+ is impossible. I've struggled with limited button accessibility through many MMO's before this one. :P

    You may want to try slotting some skills to the buttons around WASD then. QERFVCXZ for example. If you use a shift/ctrl/alt modifier for those, together with what you have, you should have enough buttons for all your skills. I can greatly recommend giving Taugrim's keybinding guide a read, should help a lot (and no need for fancy mouse/keyboards): https://taugrim.com/2011/04/07/guide...d-keybindings/

    I second this. Improve your keybinds and muscle memory instead of using macros. I use a similar setup in that guide: Movement with QWE (backwards not bound) hotbar 1234 ASDF ZXCV modified with alt and shift.

    Rebind the keys near your movement setup and find combinations that work for you. Everybody's different so there's no right answer.
