WASDonly

WASDonly is a term that has emerged within online gaming communities, particularly those that involve first-person perspectives. It refers to a player who primarily uses the 'W', 'A', 'S', and 'D' keys for movement, often to the exclusion of other control methods or strategies. This can manifest in various ways, sometimes indicating a player's reliance on keyboard-based movement for directional control in games where mouse look is also a primary input. In some contexts, WASDonly might be used descriptively to highlight a player's specific control scheme. In other instances, it can be used with a slightly derogatory connotation, implying a player who is perhaps less skilled or adaptable, suggesting their movement is predictable or limited to the basic WASD inputs. The term is not formal and its meaning can vary depending on the specific game and the community discussing it. It is often seen in discussions related to game mechanics, player skill, and common control setups. The prevalence of WASD as the default movement keys in many PC games contributes to the commonality of this control scheme among players.
