RE: First Person controll, WSAD or Arrow Keys?

sorry to be an a**se and repeat myself but the statements of "its not proper" or "its for children" against arrow keys, wich i use, are getting me down, so again, and for the the last time i will iterate that I use arrows, for the following reasons.

1. trying to use WSAD with either hand not only makes my fingers feel funny, but causes massive pain in my wrists as i have to place my hands at a very odd angle, and i keep plipping the wrong keys because i end up totally un-co-ordinated.

2. i use my left hand for the mouse as its accurate and quick for me. if i try using my right hand its all over the place and damn slow i simply just cant keep controll of the mouse in my right hand.

3. WSAD doesnt register in my brain properly, as it doesnt actually have any relation to the movement of the charachter it strikes me as a totally illogical system, the arrows do make scence to my brain because they tie to the movement directions, so its logical.

i still find myself perfectly able to circle straffe and look straffe with those methods. with 100% effeciency, yet if i try a WSAD i cant controll the game at all.

so i must ask people to kindly stop saying "it is not acceptable" or "they are not in the proper place" or "they are goofy" or worse "its a childs way of controlling". please, its the only way i can actually use a keyboard and mouse, my prefered control system, without 1. being totally un-co-ordinated, and 2, In a L.O.T of Pain.

So people saying "its not the right way" or "its for children", really is making me downright depressed, its belittling, so stop it please, thanks, i know you dont Mean to be belittling, but, that is the effect it is having so please stop saying it. if you use WSAD fine, more power to you, just stop rubbing my nose in it because i don't with stuff like "its for children" or "it isnt proper" ok?. jut say that you use those controlls. thanks.

PS @ bridge, sorry this is late, but you aksed how i do realoads and weapons change without stopping, it depends on the games mousewheel compatabiluty and if it has Precision aim on all its weapons or just some. if the game has no mousewheel compatabbily, i put weapons scroll onto Numpad 8 and 5, if it has mousewhell support, i bind the scroll to the mouswheel, same if the game has precision aim on all or not, if no, i put scope mode on numpad 0 and relaod on the right mouse button, if it does have precision on all, i put precision on right mouse and reload on numpad 0. it allows me that way to reload and change without stopping, hope that helps explain it to you.
