I’m with you.
I’ve been using RDFG since Quake for identical reasons. I suppose if one has small hands ESDF might be better.
Yes, to all the WASDers out there – you have to rebind everything from default layouts, but it’s a huge quality of life improvement.
If I was using one of the keyboard with macro keys (Logitech or Corsair for example), I could see maybe using WASD as those macro keys would be more accessible on the left side of the keyboard. Even then I think RDFG gives you more keys you can hit with the pinky and ring finger.
But, really, RDFG is the one truth path and when the revolution comes the WASD savages will be the first against the wall.
Not if you have a Natural/split keyboard for ergo. Then you have to reach across the gap. ESDF for me (plus a Naga Hex with programmable extra thumb buttons).
