Hi All,

I want to make my keybinds “better”, but I’m “out of space” with my current setup. I main a Guardian.

Current Keybinds:

RAZER NAGA
Side buttons
1-5: Weapon skills in order
6: Swap weapon
7-9: Utilities
10-12: Virtues

Mouse surface
Mouse wheel left: Heal
Mouse wheel right: Elite
Mouse wheel click: Special skill
Button directly under mousewheel: Dodge
Button directly under previous button: Empty (too hard to click)

KEYBOARD
W-A-D: Movement
S: Auto walk (I don’t like back pedaling)
Q: Stow weapon
E: Target next enemy
R: Target nearest enemy
F: Interact
Z: Call target
X: Take target
C: Look behind

Tab, 1-5, V-M, T, & G are currently bound to things like map, hero panel, etc.

What I currently have a hard time clicking are my heal and elite, because the mouse wheel is hard to “spam”. What changes would you recommend?

Assign modifiers to mouse. I use a mouse keys as ctrl, alt and shift, which takes up 3 mouse keys but frees up pretty much all my other binds to be reused.

… That is pretty smart :o. Do you mind sharing your keybinds with me?

I use a basic gaming mouse with “just” 9 buttons, two of these are wheel tilt, which I hate and don’t use.

Mouse L Side 1: CTRL
Mouse L Side 2: SHIFT
Mouse Thumb: = (elite)
Mouse R side: ALT
Wheel click: dodge

1-5: Weapon skills
W: Forward
A: Strafe L (if you keyboard turn you’re probably already dead)
D: Strafe R (seriously, mouse turn for life)
S: Back
Tab: Next target
Q: Previous target
E: Nearest Enemy
T: Take target
R: About face
B: Scoreboard
F: Interact
X: Look behind
Z: Swim down
Ctrl+F: Swap weapons
Ctrl T: Call Target
CTRL+1: Heal
CTRL+2 to 4: Utilities
CTRL+5: Toggle snap ground target
ALT+1 to 5: Profession skills

I don’t actually use any shift modifiers in GW2. I use those in SWTOR though because there’s a lot more abilities.

This setup lets me get away with gaming on a 60% size keyboard without a naga style mouse.

I have the same mouse. Unbind your mouse click, it interferes with your mouse wheel left and right clicks. I have 123qe as my 5 weapon skills. Then i have shift 123 as my utilities as it coincides with weapon skills. heal and elite is the same as you, left and right mouse wheel click. 10-12 are virtues, f change weapon, shift f for stow, r and t call and take target. I don’t use either buttons behind the wheel, i have dodge as space bar, c is interact and v,b is jump. I use dodge more then jump hence the change. I suggest you use a shift key (ctrl/shift, whatever) and set it how it feels comfortable.
