Finally going to get an MMO mouse and fix my keybinds

[CrystalRainbow]

I have the corsair mmo mouse and my wife has the Logitech g600
She doesn't use the g shift function at all because how she holds the mouse.

Her Bose got a wireless razer mmo and he really likes it.

As for keyboard I do t use a gaming keyboard but she lives and dies by her corsair k95 rgb with the 18 g keys but she does use any of them for ffxiv to my knowledge but when she is programming all 54 are programmed.

Bind the buttons to alt-shit and then change your hotbars to those modifiers and like 1-5 or so. That's what I did, I have the same mouse.

Plz tell me where this key is on the keyboard

Also what is G shift?

You can make combos, so its not a key, but it mimics holding both alt and shift together.

G shift is a thing that changes what the buttons do when you hold it i think, i dont use it.

Logitech g600 is heavenly. It comes with a third mouse click button, which you can bind to a modifier. This allows for essentially 24 buttons all on the mouse itself. My setup makes very little use of the keyboard for combat because of this.

I would also second the Logitech g600. Love this mouse, and would get another if ever it broke. I did have a hard time with it for about 2 weeks as it was so much larger than my old mouse, but well worth the time it took getting used to it.

As far as my HUD layout and how I've keybound things, I tried to make the layout in game match the button layout (3x4 pattern). Example:



So basically the first column uses buttons 1-12, second column uses g-shift + 1-12, 3rd column I don't actually have bound to the mouse, but it would be easy do to so if I needed it.

I have an old, tired mind, and so it makes my life easier having the HUD and mouse keys match visually I'm sure there are far more creative ways you could make it work for yourself.

Logitech G502 here. Any character I have that has a Stun, I have set for the button directly above where my thumb rests. Consistency and ease of access is key for some abilities!

Thanks for all the advice I just feel like a total new player now despite being around since heavensward and being a mentor, becuase I now have zero muscle memory to go with all new UI settings and keybinds.

It'll definitely take some time to get used to, but it's well worth it in my opinion As it is, I rarely have to use my keyboard outside of targeting and a few other things. It's nice

The g600 let's you bind moving the mouse wheel left and right, as well as clicking down.
Great for target options.

Only time I use my mouse in combat is when I have to click on something.

If you're playing other styles of games too, the one I would recommend is the Razer Naga Trinity. I have it (alongside a Razer Cynosa). One thing that might also be worth considering is a gamepad (no, not a controller, which FFXIV frustratingly refers to as a gamepad...) - I have an old mechanical one atm but one for consideration could be the Razer Tartarus V2. If you got the Tarty2 and the NagaT, each has 3 way scroll wheel click (left, down, right). So you could essentially bind 6 modifiers there using Razer Synapse. The reason I picked the Tarty2 not the Orbweaver... Orby doesn't have a scroll wheel.

EDIT: Forgot to add, there's also Razer's Hypershift functionality, which I think works like Logitech's G-Shift, but I haven't played around with that yet. Probably once I get my new gamepad.
