<div class="IPBDescription">WSAD, ESDF, arrows or other?</div> What key setup do you use?
Personally WSAD is the easiest, allowing easy access to most of the keyboard, so more keys and more binds.
I cant use arrows to save my life, as it is too cramped and you cant use anything BUT the arrows.

I guess it started back in quake when I didn't use the mouse, I used the same set up except I used the arrows to move. Then I had this friend that recommended using the mouse. He had fire as mouse1 and forward as mouse2. I asked him how he moved backwards and he said he just turned around and walked forward. Well I didn't like that so I moved mouse1 to backward and kept fire on ctrl. Anyone out there have a setup remotely like mine? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
One thing I like about my config is it allows me to be accurate with weapons like the pistol because I'm not tapping the mouse button to fire fast, I'm tapping the ctrl button, so the mouse can remain steady (small thing really).
Q - Last used weapon
E - Use key
R - Reload
T - Spray logo
Z - Request health
X - Request ammo
C - Map
B - Voice
Y - Say
U - Teamsay
Tab - Scoreboard
Shift - Walk
Ctrl - Crouch
Mouse 1 - Attack
Mouse 2 - Menu
Mouse 3 - Chuckle
Mouse wheel up - Next weapon
Mouse wheel down - Previous weapon
Pretty much the original
ESDF is a much more efficient setup, wish I could use it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> My fingers actually rest on WAD and space by default when I'm not doing anything on the keyboard <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Thank god for 7 button mice!

Crouch-jump with one finger. Then enter is use. I have a 5 buttoned mouse (pwnage, i must say) so MB1 is fire, MB2 is menu, wheel up is next weapon, wheel down is previous weapon, MB4 is reload, MB5 is lastinv so i can switch easy-fast from my primary to secondary. (if you must use the knife to attack another player, you deserve to be dead, imo. Knife fight? I shoot the foo... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
then end, del, pgdn, pgup, home, insert, all those are bound to something. then the numb pad 1-5 is for the alien evolutions; 7, 8, 9 are all bound to Carapace, Celerity, Cloak respectivly. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
My key-config is so screwed up that I have been forbidden from sharing it with you by the rest of #evo. They don't want any of your minds to be corrupted by the weirdness of it.
But it works for me.
S = Backward
A = Strafe Left
D = Strafe Right
Mouse3 = Jump
MWheelUp = Fire
MWheelDown = Fire
NumPad 1-5 = Evolve
Delete = Regeneration
End = Celerity
PageDown = Cloaking (as of 2.01d :D)
PageUp = Scent of Fear
Home = Adrenaline
Insert = Carapace
ArrowUp = Build Hive
ArrowDown = Build Resource Chamber
, - / = Upgrade Chambers (build)
' = Offense Chamber<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
This concludes the reason I can barf 15 times before you can say, "wha?".
good point, it feels more natural, but you've always got to keep your ring and index finger to hit "q" and "e", q for quick weapon switching and e for buidling, door opening, etc..
putting your ring and index finger on q and e for straifing mean a and d would take their place for "lastinv" and "+use," just try to put your fingers back like that and tell me it doesnt feel akward. although it does seem more efficent and ergonomic, it spoils your quick access to lastinv and +use, which prove useful and often in use
