I'm pretty sure I've ended the eternal search for the 1337est setup. So, I created this thread to show it off, and see if other people can do any better.
I've got most things bound to their defaults. The most notable change I have is that voicecomm is remapped to TAB. V is way too hard to hit while moving around at the same time. With TAB, I've got the key nearly right next to a finger that's moving around all the time anyway.
I've also made my best effort to go for a one-handed configuration. Flash F, Drop G, something I can't remember H, map C, score V. That map C was a stroke of genius, too. I need the map alot more often than I need to move my hand over to where the M key is, but I don't need it so much that the little bit of movement difficulty matters when I've got it up. Duck and walk are switched, because I've always hated that duck is CTRL by default in any mod. You need that alot more than you need walk, especially in this game where walking moves at the speed of bureaucracy. I'm pretty sure I've got SOMETHING useful bound to z and x as well, but I can't remember what.

Im going to bind some impulses though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
J is offense tower and K is hive.
Voice comm is on X cept when comming I would use semi colon.
Also Q is chuckle/follow me
and Z is bound to enemy spotted.
Q - lastinv
E - use
R - reload
F - flashlight
V - taunt
C -minimap
Tab - showscores
Capslock - +voicerecord
<b>Shift - duck</b> ( i never understood how anyone could use ctrl as duck... )
Ctrl - walk
mouse sensitivity - 3.5 WITH the windows XP mouse acceleration thing on. I turned it off after reading about it in the forums recently, and noticed I actually played worse with it off. What kind of mouse settings do you others have?
Q lastinv
C minimap
SHIFT walk
CTRL crouch
Z taunt
T spray
Y say
U teamsay
E use
R reload
F flashlight
G drop
Then WASD for movement, of course. I also use O for "Request order" and P for "Acknowledged". Comma is request for medpack, period is request for ammo. As alien I've got all my binds on my keypad:
7 = RT, 8 = OC, 9 = DC, 4 = SC, 5 = MC, 6 = Hive, 1 = Skulk, 2 = Gorge, 3 = Lerk, 0 = Fade, and "Comma/Del" = Onos. Yeah, I'm done now. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Edit: Sensitivity = 17.5 (I tried 30 once, it was fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->)
CTRL=Duck
Shift=Walk
G=Drop Weapon
E=Use
V=Taunt a weird sound as alien
C=Minimap
Tab=Scores
Mouse1=Primary attack (duh!)
Mouse2=Pop-Up
Mouse3=Screenshot
That's the most importent ones <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'm starting to use ALT for duck because I've started cramping up my pinky rather bad, dunno why now of all times, but crouch jumping is just a reaction with CTRL.
I have the numpad for aliens and their building.
7 Regen 8 Adren 9 Cloaking
4 Fade 5 Gorge 6 Onos
1 OC 2 DC 3 RT
Of course MWheelup for bhopping, but I should really use somthing for mouse 3-4-5.
and get carple tunnels syndrom in the next 10 years
m1, fire
m2, menu
m3, lastinv
m4, chuckle
m5, voice record
m6, screenshot
shift= crouch
ctrl= walk
space= jump
mouse3= voice
mouse2= lastinv
w= menu
still use 1-4 for slots tho, tab for scoreboard
that's all the important ones
Wrists, phalanges (sp?) never hurt. Been doing it for 10 years now with no ill effects.
Anyways I use the following key setup.
Arrow keys for movement
CTRL = jump
KP_INS = crouch
KP_END = use
KP7 = drop DC
KP8 = drop MC

X = +popupmenu
C = carapace upgrade
M = exec marine.cfg
END = slot4 (for xeno baby)
ENTER = weapon_knife
MOUSE1 = +attack
MWHEELDOWN = +reload
.cfg files contain scripts for each class.
Scripts are bound to MOUSE2 and MOUSE3.
R - reload
F - flashlight
G - drop weapon
C - use (ive just always found it easier than E)
ctrl - walk
shift - jump
space - duck
alt - voicecomm
keypad plus - scoreboard (i mean really, if your looking at the scores you're not in the heat of battle and can take your hand the mouse for a sec <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
mouse2 - menu
mouse4 - last weapon
mouse5 - minimap
up arrow - OC
left arrow - DC
down arrrow - MC
right arrow - SC (i keep them straight because from left-to-right is the standard pub chamber order <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->)
home - hive (obvious relation)
end - RT
and lastly the kharra evolutions are on the keypad 1-5 respectivly <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
My brand new 5-button mouse has slot1 and slot2 bound to the thumb keys for easier selection of the first two skills.
Mouse1 = fire
Mouse2 = command menu (I actually just about never use it though)
Mouse3 = spraypaint <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Mouse4 = voicecomm

E = use
Shift = walk
Ctrl = duck
F = flashlight
R = reload
Tab = scoreboard
Space = jump
Z = medpack request
X = ammo request
G = drop (used to be voicecomm)
T = global chat

Delete = evolve to fade
End = evolve to onos
U = acknowledge orders
I = in position
O = request orders

I think that's all. I might try having the minimap in mouse5, since that's not in use atm.

Thats the basics. I've got the map and voice coms on my mouse (thumbs 4 'n 5), T and R is for chat and teamchat (respectively), F keys handle various functions (CFG's, net graph, screenies, disconnect/reconnect/quit, RR, etc) and voice messages on the keypad.
I've also got an evolution selector on the keypad (aliens only) that lets me cycle through the three chambers to pick my upgrades. Oh, and as a Gorge, i've got a handy dandy system on my mouse (pgup and pgdn mouse buttons, middle click to drop) that lets me cycle and drop chambers without fumbling through the menu. Me likey.
Long story short - a buddy of mine got me Mousewalking (the config's general name) back in the days of Quake n' such. A little practice is all it takes to become habit... and since I don't have a good reason to switch, i'll probably stay mousewalking for many years to come <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
