It has always been a mystery to me how players can use those complicated devices which allow to a HUGE number of keys, macros and all that without mixing them up in the heat of a fight and so forth.....

I mean, think about the many spells, actions and so forth possible, all theoretically needed in a fight or playing the game, that's tens upon tens upon tens of macros to remember and be able to type on those devices real fast without mixing them up....

I have definately trouble with it and have a much lower limit of keys which I can remember and use without mixing them up....

I set up a profile and use it for pretty much every game I play. All the same keys are used for bindings. Some games I use the Mouse's keys as a toggle to give extra function to those on the game pad, others I just use the mouse, and yet others I just use the Keypad, but the basic layout is the same for all games. Doing that makes it easier for me to remember them.

Agreed. I guess it's why I have always sucked on PvP characters. I do not have the patience to program a bunch of macros. That being said, having a few set up is easy enough especially when they are primarily simple "use skill" macros...la

It's all about repetition really. Assign similar macro sets as often as you can, and just play with them. At some point pressing those buttons becomes second nature.
