I actually have this for my key binds, i love it, i'd recommend it 5/5
The G13 is a remarkable device. Agreed: 5/5
Of it's best features;
- The keybindings stay with the device, not exclusively on the connected computer.
- Each game profile may be exported and imported.
- Three individual keybind setups may be used through the M1, M2 & M3 buttons. This allows for a lot of options and configurations. As in one per hero type for example.
Am wondering if there's a thread here for exchanging exported the keybind (.LGP) files.
I use WASD for camera controls.
QERF(TG) for abilities
Items default to ZXCVBN and I'm not really a fan of that. May change it soon.
SPACEBAR for Push to Talk
TAB to attack / deny.
I will probably move my items to the number keys for comfort.

This is something similar to how I have my Smite keys, I might try it out. Currently my Dota 2 bindings are Q W E R for abilities, 1 through 6 is my inventory, A is attack, S is stop, Tab is scoreboard, Spacebar is press to talk, and I manage my camera by dragging the mouse off screen. That reflects my League of Legends bindings too, with the exception of D and F being my summoner spells and Spacebar being my Center Camera function.
If you're not keyboard savvy then you can opt to use a mouse with shortcut keys, the Razer Hex being one of the more popular due to the potential of having 6 items keyed to the side of your mouse, is a great choice.
If you want to work more on your current binding then I suggest making Shift your Attack Command and CTRL your Stop Command if you play shooters often. Removing Z, X, and C will avoid any bumping or hard reaching of the keys, just move your items to the inventory spots the correspond to V B N. You shouldn't need more than 3 inventory spots but just in case have the other three spots keyed to 3 4 5, which will be in reaching distance but will be a little stretch so you put your high cooldown activatable items here. My resting position for this would be:
Spacebar for the main Hero (in fact I'm not a LoL player, but I find it very comfortable) and 123456789V for the groups. Why V? Because Blink-poofing with Meepo is super easy with it (well, actually, it may seem strange to you): V; Tab + W; Spacebar; X/C (Blink) and click.
In some words, I can just keep my hand over the "square" between Q, R (1 and 5 if using Heroes like Chen or Meepo), Z and V - including the Spacebar - and I'm perfectly fine, as I manage the courier with groups or the icon in the bottom-right part of the screen.
Q - attack key
ERFGT - abilities
space - stop
zxcvbn - items
alt - ping
the usual f keys for hero, courier etc.
end - talk (probably should change it to ctrl - I use the key board with my right hand :P)
I use ` for PTT, QWERDF for abilities, C, V, T, Y, U, G for items, Space for calling the courier, control groups 1-whatever, 2 always being my hero, Tab for cycle, and the default controls for control, A, H, S.
Most used item is always on T. This is Blink for those that use it, Mek for supports, and Sheep Stick/Orchid for casters that doesn't use Blink. Y is always Bottle, V is always Soul Ring.
Tangoes are always in the T slot, Potion in Y at the start. G is always TP scroll or Boots of Travel.
I used to only have T,Y,C and V for keys, but then I played Tinker, and realized I needed even MOAR.
I played my first game as Lone Druid last night and I've decided to keep my items on ZXCVBN and remap:
1 - Hero
2 - All Units But Hero
3 - All Units
4 - Courier
I find the F keys to be too long of a reach on my keyboard.
Moved inventory to SDF XCV as the keypad is just daft, makes it much easier to reach them quickly. Also changed Spacebar to "Centre on Hero" - just seemed easier. Auto-attack off, obviously.
