Default Keyboard or mouse clicks...?

While tinkering with my hot button layouts for my interface, I have come to realize that as I have gotten older, I started using my mouse more for clicking actions and spells, save for when I am twisting songs with my bard and still double tap keyboard keys. Do people lean towards keyboard or mouse?

Thanks!

keyboard = iksar necro
mouse clicks = human necro

They're casting the same spells..... but iksar is min/max by a mile

I got pretty good a couple years ago playing with the interface turned off, just using keyboard commands definitely ups the immersion. Normally though, I play with the mouse on my Iksar Necro, I just keep my menus close together and I've never had a problem. Not sure there is a real min/max value in the distinction since inputs have never made or broken my experience, failed hunts are usually human error and distraction for my part.

I play on a laptop so I use wasd to move and the arrows to look up/down/left/right. Alt+# for my spells with a instaclick item hotkeyed for chain casting. Have an action key set for selecting things I aim at or to open doors. Only use the track pad a little when I have to sort items.
Took a week to get used to but, I've got 2 toons to 60 playing this way and wouldn't go back to mouse.

When I played EQ in the "golden days" of my youth, I clicked, clicked, clicked. I didnt know of any other way, But with the introduction of WoW and other various MMOs i realized keybinding hotbuttons is much more efficient. Especially with horizontal hotbars stacked x 4 or 5 at a time where if you position it right your placement of hotbuttons on screen can kind of match up to where you are pressing your keys for those actions. It just allows for my smoother gameplay in my experience

Depends on what class I'm playin' mostly. Grouping lazily on my Wizard or Mage? I tend to be a clicker.

I use a razor mouse with a bunch of buttons. Works good but wanna get a new one with less buttons. The one i got now has like 1-12 side buttons mmo style.

Tips on a mmo mouse?(only for p99 use. I might try pantheon if it releases before i die)

I’ve always used my mouse to run/steer and then keep one hand on the keyboard for hotkeys
