iam the opposite, i cant play these type of game with controller so my hat also off for you who play this with controller =)

unlike everyone here who use advance setup or mouse with lot of buttons, iam more "traditional" mouse and keyboard style, and i didnt change any of the UI in the game i just leave it default with 3 hotbars on the bottom and 1 vertical hotbars on the right.

my hotkey is basically the standard 1-5 (more than that my left hand reach it) and bind the rest of skill to others, so basically...

- 1-5 default numbers on keyboard
- 6 7 8 9 i bind them to 'Q' 'E' 'R' and 'F' none of this letter is matter in ff14 at least for me
- 10 i just bind it to middle mouse button

for extra button i just use standard alt-1 to alt-4 (cant reach alt-5 and beyond) and the rest is mouse play (aim to skill and click manually)

have been doing this ever since i play mmorpg
