This article wins! I have pretty severe dyslexia, to the extent where when there's alot going on on my screen, I will 'lose' keys. I have an difficult time playing with keybinds and the standard interface for this reason, and beyond the standard QEWASD and tilda + 1-5, I'm pretty much screwed.

To work around this, I built my own UI using a couple of simple addons, low memory addons that allow me to play the game around my weaknesses, and some extremely simple but flexible multi-function clicker-macros.

Nobody that I've shown my UI to can comprehend how I can play with it, but it's one of the only things that allows me to actually play the game with any level of efficiency.
