    Keybinds are horrible

    1. there needs to be a button on the bottom of the keyboard menu where it says "Unbind Key".

    2. Why cant I keybind Shift+Mouse scroll up/down to switch pages?

    3. Why cant I keybind Shift+1-12=?

    4. Why cant we keybind something and automatically have it unbind whatever it was keybound as?

    This idea of making a game where both hands are on keyboard is horrible. SE should know by now that anyone playing on PC plays with a mouse and probably has invested into a gaming mouse. I'm having to invent for myself a new way to keybind my things because of these limitation. This UI feels like its made for the "clicker" who doesnt know the meaning and the art of keybinding.

    I disagree. Keyboard ftw.

    Agree nobody plays PC games with two hands on keyboard.

    Yoshi-p should have it sorted though as he is supposedly a avid MMO player.

    What we currently have was designed by Tanaka's team.

    I play MMOs with both hands on the keyboard.

    Clicking a mouse is so 1998.

    Mouse is only useful to move the camera. All of you haven't found the real way of gaming yet.
    Keyboard FTW.

    OP has a point. I myself went keyboard-only in XI, and now i'm all keyb+mouse in XIV - since alpha - and i've really seen only minor upgrades considering the system as a whole from my perspective.

    I understand that this game has some heavy console-friendly solutions in it - and for a reason, too - but having somewhat crippled controlling methods, limited macroing and hardly a customisable UI, is really starting to shine through.

    I hope that we "now have enough content we can enjoy and drown ourselves in", so the devs could take a moment to put some more emphasis on the means of actually allowing us to take better control of it.

    I really hope they give us the option to have more then one action bar up and be able to bind my keys however i want. I can't stand using 1-0. I also always have 1 hand on my mouse when playing!

    I use mouse and keyboard. It feels much better than that wonky IJKL camera. Though I really can't say that I care too much about those keybindings to throw hissy fit. They'd be nice to have though. Just saying, Square.

    Mouse for camera? I just map the camera keys to A S D W and my numpad is for moving my character. Don't use the mouse, that rat-tailed beast, it is EVIL!

    I'm too used to walk with WASD..^^'
    I could move the camera with keys though, but I never found it as smooth as moving the camera with the mouse.
    No zooming in and out with scrolling either..a while ago though, the batteries in my mouse died and I HAD to play without it.
    Wasn't that much different but I noticed I can't switch between tabs on my retainer without it °-°
    It's a CONSPIRACY.
