> Yet ESDF is objectively better
Subjectively better.
If I were to switch to ESDF, I would have only one key to the right of my index finger in each row, as opposed to two. (I have a split keyboard.) You could argue that I would have two keys to the left of my pinky finger, but I find that reach more difficult.
I would also have a harder time orienting my fingers without looking, because I would no longer have the differently-shaped keys under my pinky to let me know I was in the right place. (The indentation that indicates home position on my F key is subtle, and easy to miss when I'm focused on the action in a game.)
Objectively better on a standard non split keyboard then. Many games assume non split keyboard for default key bindings
No, still subjectively better. There's no such thing as objectively better when it comes to control schemes. It's all personal preference.
What is a "standard" non-split keyboard? What do a game developer's assumptions have to do with objectivity?
Also, you have conveniently ignored my last paragraph.
The better mapping is objectively subjective. ;)
It is a keyboard that is not split.
