I still click the little power buttons in the tray
[ QUOTE ]
What are better ways to play? Should I force myself to use the number buttons? I've heard of using the numpad, but I don't want to take my hand off the mouse.

About my 4th year into gaming I got sick of the hand cramping over a keyboard and got a Ideazon Fang. Probably the best gaming investment I ever made. Also a standard gamepad with native computer support can be used. The game software has innate emulation for those types of controllers.

I click all the non tray 1 buttons
alt+1 and ctrl+1 seem more of a hassle than clicking

Add me to the list of people who likes to click the power buttons. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one either. Maybe it isn't the most optimal way to do it, but it's what I'm comfortable with and I seem to do just fine, so why change? Don't feel you have to force yourself to change.
I have a friend who was suprised to find I click the buttons and said I should use the number keys. But I watched him playing once and it didn't seem like he fired off his powers any faster or easier than I do. I never noticed a difference when teaming with him, either.
The only real problem I have with it is that sometimes I'm too frantic and I'll click a button while the mouse is still moving. Instead of activating a power, it'll move the button to another place in the tray. Seems very sensitive about that. But with practice I'm getting better at avoiding that.

In the options menu, you can lock the powers in your tray.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I'm sure it will come in very handy.
Add me to the clickers.
I'm a clicker also. 3 trays. Primary on one and 2ndary on the other. Travel, Oro, etc. on 3rd.
I have always been amazed to hear of people who play with the keyboard and / or mouse only. I personally have always used a joystick and the keyboard and mouse. I do sometimes find myself speed clicking on the icons in the trays. (3 total,the rest are hidden)
