EPT4 -> courrier
Q, W, E, R, D, F -> skills
T -> levels
B, V, C, X, Z, -> Items
A, S, H -> attack, stop, hold position respectively
\ -> scoreboard
Pretty standard IMO. Nothing really special about my setup.

QWERDF for skills, although I use Legacy for Nyx, Invoker and Puck, and possibly for other unreleased DotA heroes if I'm more comfortable with Legacy on them. Alt + Q/W/E (top 3), Space and Alt + S/D (bottom 3) for inventory Y for learning skills, I just leave it unassigned if on Invoker (hello ctrl-QWER) B for sticky-buy or w/e it's called for TP scrolls, Attack/Stop/Move/Hold are default and I think that's it...? | ||

I use a Razer Nostromo gaming keypad (which I love to bits), and have set up the layout shown. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZAcY3.jpg) Notes: + Show Spoiler + - ALT + Q,W,E,A,S,D correspond to the item slots, but I also bind mousewheel up and down, and two mouse side buttons, to item slots (2,3,5,6) for quick use. I try to be logical about the placing of these, e.g. travel items such as TPs go in mwheel down, Combat activations such as manta style go in Buitton4, "Panic" items such as Wands or Mekanism go in Button5. - The directional pad is used for unit shortcuts F1-3 and left is plain number 4, since I use that to bind a control group if I need to (rarely, since I'm still learning and have stayed away from micro-heavy multi-unit heroes so far) - On the same topic, it's not easy to tab through active selected units with this set-up, since I only realised this was a thing after creating the scheme  . I may need to put tab in a better place even for my helm of the dominator unit skills soon. | ||

That said, I use a mechanical keyboard for DotA, as the key reflex of a true mechanical is just hard to walk away from after playing StarCraft on one for years. My layout is: Q, W, E, R, D, F for skills as usual 1: Select hero Alt + 1: Select all other units 2-4: Control groups T,G,B,V,5,6: Items (in that order, left to right, descending) ~: Select courier Alt+~: Courier deliver items Part of my layout is obviously inspired by playing StarCraft for years, and being very used to tapping 1-6, and generally keeping my hand in that area of the keyboard. | ||

The controls in HoN are really well done. I say that because they closely match mine, and the transition to HoN was so smooth for me because of this. Most players with really "crazy" setups, made their setups when the ability to change hotkeys in Warcraft 3 first came out. You used to be stuck with really weird ability hotkeys like B for blink on a hero that might have like W and O as binds as well. It made for really weird hand positions that you just had to get used to for every hero. You also had to use the numpad for item use. On top of that you had to press and hold Alt any time you wanted to display health bars. So you had a finger devoted to Alt. When Warkeys and Dotakeys came out and you could remap the keyboard it was a lot of work to change everything, so a lot of players just fixed a few things here or there that bothered them. This led to really weird binds that people became accustomed to. Also some people just feel more comfortable hitting different keys. For instance in Diablo 3 and Torchlight I play with my hand on the right side of the keyboard using 90-= as my main abilities with [ ] as my pots. In WoW I played with 4567890-=TYUIOP as my main keys, but still homed my hand on the left side of the keyboard. Its really just personal preference and where you hand feels most comfortable on the keyboard. | ||

qwe-r Abilities 45 f-g Items on 567zxc 1-4 Control Groups. If I was playing only dota, I'd probably not use more than 2 or max 3 control groups, but I play SC2 regularly, so I gotta compensate for that. I usually just have my hero on all 4, with F2 for courier. I sometimes have a personal bottle crow, in which case I can hotkey that separately. Forge spirits, spirit bear get their own control group. Naga images as well, but I don't play naga so =) | ||
