Hi!
I'm Hazel, and in this video I'm going to be showing you how I set up keybindings for
a WoW Gamepad.
So not one of these things, but one of these things.
Maybe you recently got a new one, or you're thinking about getting one and you're not
quite sure where to start with binding it.
I'll be going through my setup on the Razer Orbweaver I but I used the exact same binds
on the Logitech G13.
If you have the G13 you will need the Logitech Gaming Software, and if you're using a Razer
gamepad you will need Razer Synapse.
Now, you can do this without any WoW addons just by using the Keybindings menu but it'll
be a thousand times easier with an action bar addon.
I'm going to be using Bartender4 here, and I'll put a link to that in the description.
Lesson Number One: The default key bindings are trash.
By default they recommend that you use the prime four keys as a WASD for movement and
that is just a massive waste.
That's what the thumbstick is for, and that's what we'll set up first.
Open your software and navigate to the thumbstick section.
Make your forward W, your left E and your right Q. You can bind back to S if you really
want to but there's almost never a good reason to be backpedaling so this is as good a place
to rip off the band-aid as any.
Similiarly, we're not a bunch of keyboard turners out here so we're not binding A and
D. Look around with your mouse.
Congratulations, you just freed up three fingers to play WoW with.
Get in game and test this out just to make sure that you've put the E and Q in the right
spots.
Near the joystick there are two secondary mouse style buttons.
I bind these to M and B for Map and Bags, but there's lots of valid options.
You won't be using these while moving too much, so utility and menus are good places
to start.
Next, let's Set up Main Street.
The twelve buttons in a 3x4 block down the center of the gamepad are where I like to
put my damage abilities.
The first six are kind of a 'home row'.
Now what keys we actually bind these to doesn't matter, as long as you don't overwrite other
important keybinds like your escape key or push to talk button.
For this reason, I bind these twelve keys to F1-F12, in order.
You won't need to reach these on an actual keyboard, so don't worry about that.
Then, in game, I take a 12 button bar in Bartender and arrange it like this in that same 3x4
grid.
Open up Keybinding, and go through and match that same F1-F12.
Having the grid visually match the grid of the gamepad made these a lot easier to learn
for me.
The first six abilities on the grid are comfy to hit, and the bottom ones take more getting
used to.
Match the spammy, rotational abilities to the top six with the spammiest on these two
keys, under your index finger.
The bottom keys I use for abilities that still need to be bound but I use less often, such
as MindBender and Mind Bomb.
My F9 here is the easiest to reach of the bottom six, so I put my Power Word Shield
there to sprint myself.
Which abilities you put where isn't important as long as it makes sense to you and the spammy
buttons are in comfortable spots.
Next up we'll add Modifiers.
In WoW, there are many occasions when you might want to use your Shift or Alt keys.
For me, I use quite a few modifier macros, especially for PvP.
I like binding these bottom left two keys to Shift and Alt.
That puts them under my pinky finger which is a familiar place for modifier keys.
Additional Keys: So we've got a solid twelve buttons now plus modifiers for a potential
36 bindings, but wait!
There's more!
We have six keys left unaccounted for- all four of the right hand keys and the top two
on the left.
Here's how I use them.
This guy here in the bottom right, that's my Space key.
I like to keep Jump in an easy to remember spot near my movement keys so that I can leap
over any jumping mechanics and also hop laps around Dalaran like a bunny.
Above that I've chosen V and K, and bound those to an extra bar on my UI over here.
The keys you choose don't matter- just pick something that isn't already taken, and then
add that keybinding to the bar with Bartender.
Those two took me a long time to get comfortable hitting accurately so don't put anything too
lifechanging there.
On my Shadow Priest that's currently Dispel Magic and then where I used to keep Lifegrip.
I should put something else there but I just can't move on.
On the top right, I use this key to toggle my Autorun.
You can bind it directly to Num Lock or Clear on Mac, but I got tired of accidental typing
in caps so I changed the Autorun keybind to this random bracket.
For these last two on the top left, I'm bad at hitting these so I don't put anything too
important there.
The top one is Up where I keep my Disenchant, and below that is Left where I've put my Details
toggle macro.
The directional keys are good ones to bind to your gamepad because they're not used by
default in WoW.
Now, If you're looking at my UI and wondering where this second grid of twelve fits in,
those are my mouse grid.
In addition to my Orbweaver I play WoW with a Logitech G600 mouse, although of course
you can set this up with a Razer Naga or Corsair Scimitar.
This grid is bound to 1-12, and directly correlates to the 1-12 grid on the side of my mouse.
I use this bar for cooldowns like Dispersion, Vampiric Embrace, my Health Pot and other
buttons that I use often but aren't part of my rotation.
Between my mouse and gamepad, I only touch my keyboard to type in chat or open menus.
You could if you wanted to put menu keybinds on the peripheral keys so that you need your
keyboard even less, which is porbably smart.
I've been using gamepads for over six years now so I'm old and set in my ways.
And that's how I keybind my gamepad!
This is far from the only way to do it but hopefully if you were looking for a place
to start this helps you out.
I'll put links to all the gear I mentioned as well as my Orbweaver vs G13 comparison
video in the description.
Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful, wonderful day.
Bye!
