Question for kbd+mouse users

[Enkidoh]

I use a standard keyboard and mouse exclusively on the PC version, as I was already used to keyboard+mouse control playing FFXI for over a decade (many of FFXIV's text commands and shortcuts are actually copied wholesale from FFXI) - it just feels more natural to use the keyboard given the amount of typing in the game (chatting, emotes, shortcut commands etc). It also makes selecting things on the hotbar more intuitive than having to messily scroll through controller menus quickly.

Everyone is different though and has different preferences, so don't take my preferences as the 'only' or 'best' way of doing things - find what works best for you!
