okay, no one else has asked so i need to. are you an adult gamer? by that i mean, literally old enough to be on this site, and has played at least a single game that came out after 1999?
because if so, and it had a sprint mechanic, chances are that sprint button was tied to the shift key. that chance is a hundred percent by the way.
so unless this post of yours is an acid trip gone wrong - literally the only explanation i will accept - you need to be silent. because fucking W as the sprint button? really? what whacky-ass malware-riddled "We have *Insert video game* at home" games have you been playing where W is used to sprint? and then you go on about the controller scheme, like that will immediately help you understand exactly what button is used for what - on a keyboard, by the way, where the layout is, shockingly enough, fucking different.
jesus man, do you think before you post? name a single game in this style - any game at all that isn't a goddamn point and click adventure, that used W as sprint and not shift, or the less used ctrl. please, i'm begging you, because i don't like thinking people online are ignorant morons without evidence, and that's all you've given me.
