I use a gaming mouse with 12 thumb buttons. I have 1-5 weapon skills, weapon swap, stow weapon and dodge all bound to the thumb buttons. F-abilities (the special ones for each class) are CTRL+thumb buttons. Mounts are SHIFT+thumb buttons. I only use my keyboard for my utilities and elite (Q, X, E and C) and my shift and ctrl modifiers for the thumb buttons on my mouse so my hand never has to come off WASD movement keys. My special action key is also bound to the mouse just under the scroll wheel. I could never, ever go back to playing MMOs without a good gaming mouse. No less than 6 thumb buttons for me. Best-purchase-ever.
