So I was wondering how you guys are doing your profiles? Do you move with the D-pad? If you do how do you manage jumping? I find it hard to picture a good way to jump and still use the D-pad for movement. Do you use the shift states? Haven't really found a use for them yet either. One state has been plenty of buttons for the most part.

*bonus points if you guess my spam button*
I use the D-pad to move.
I own a 5 button mouse and have bound one of the extra buttons to jump.
I use one of the other mouse side buttons and bound it to shift. I did this so that I could double my keybinds on my n52. For example, I have all my n52 regular buttons bound to F-keys for one set of keybinds, and another set of binds set to those F-keys + shift on my mouse.

Using the D-pad frees up all of your fingers to hit keybinds while you're moving. People who reach for buttons while holding a WASD movement buttons are doing it horrible wrong. It feels awkward at first, but force yourself to adapt and you'll never go back. The difference is about as much of an impact as going from clicking to keybinds.
