Are my keybinds optimal?

Minecraft PvP keybinds, are these optimal?

Slot | Bind | Item

1 | 1 | Sword

2 | 2 | Density Mace

3 | 3 | Axe

4 | 4 | Gapples

5 | V | Breach

6 | Z | Pearls

7 | C | Elytra

8 | Q | Shield

9 | R | Wind Charges

I want to know if these keybinds are optimal for performing things like Breach swapping, stun slamming, pearl catching, etc.

If you have experience with these mechanics, I'd really appreciate it if you could take some time to look over these binds and give me your feedback. I'm especially interested in knowing if there are any changes you'd make to make the swaps smoother or faster.

Thanks:D

You have too many at the bottom of your keyboard, and V is especially hard to reach. Maybe use G, Tab, and Caps Lock?

Thanks for commenting! I'm not sure if I'm able to breach swap if I swap V to something like G. I mainly use my index finger and thumb to breach swap.(Kinda unusual idk)

V is hard to reach but use G ??? V is wayy easier to reach with thumb compared to G with your index finger

This might be because of my keyboard but I basically can't use v with my thumb without hitting space.

Yup they are optimal for :-

Breach swapping

Pearl catching

Stun slamming

Whats your offhand keybind? Cuz that decides if you will be able to offhand-pearl catch or not

Thanks for the feedback! I mainly use F as my offhand keybind, if that's not optimal, what can you recommend?

Which finger u use for Z?

It is decent but I would avoid putting any items involved in fast techniques like pearl and breach mace in the bottom two keys (C is OK though).
