I know I've seen this sort of thread elsewhere, but I am curious about
my fellow SnarkPitters. Personally, I think I have a rather
unconventional customization for my layout.
+ invert mouse y-axis
7.7 mouse sensitivity (for Steam games)
strafe left - a
strafe right - d
forward - right mouse
back - z
jump - s
crouch - x
run/walk - Ctrl
use - space bar
primary weapon - left mouse
secondary weapon - middle mouse
reload - r
last weapon used - q
flashlight - f

I use this setup that I made up, I really like it :smile:
Reg mouse
Around 3.0 sensitivity
Forward - E
Backward - R
Strafe Right - F
Strafe Left - D
Jump - A
Duck - S
Lean keys - C and V ( left and right respectively)
Prone - Z
Shoot - LMB
Alt. Function - RMB
Reload - MMB
That's the basic stuff for most games... if you get your hand in the right position, everything is right there... I love it :smile:

Pretty standard here. This is what I generally use for all FPS games.
movement - WASD
Use - E
Crouch - Shift
Prone - Ctrl
Lean left/sprint - Caps
Lean Right - F
Flashlight - F or R
Jump - Space
Firemode/Scores - Tab
Zoom - T/G/Z
Melee/Previous Weapon - Q
Primary Attack - Mouse 1
Secondary - Mouse 2
Reload - Mouse 3
Ghost Recon, of course, is completley different! If there is no secondary action, I generally set mouse2 to run or throw grenade. There'd be some large differences if I had more then three buttons on my mouse.
My mouse sensitivity is pretty high, since my mouse has a very poor "grid". I generally set it to about 14 in HL Games. Otherwise, I'll end up hitting my keyboard and junk.
I want a new mouse, my friend has a really nice one, only about $30 now, it's very smooth and sensitive.
Anyway, something that's related to this: I think z-boards are retarded.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Omegaslayer: Yes, I got used to playing the original Doom and Doom II, and I never changed after that.
French Toast: I thought I was f**ked up in my wierd configuration, but yours is just totally strange.
Crono: You use pretty much the modern default settings for controls.
Crono, get a wireless optical mouse. It's got the freedom of movement, plus excellent sensitivity.
I didn't trust it for shooter games at first, but when my wife bought me one, I fell in love with it. It's a Logitech.

It is a logitech optic mouse. I have no qualms with cables. Wireless is just another battery I'd have to charge ... I would, however, use one for my laptop, if it were better.
What I was talking about is the sensitivity "grid", every optic mouse has one. My grid is just larger, because it was a cheaper mouse ...
Not to mention I don't have money ... otherwise I'd have a hard drive that didn't sparatically turn off, a better video card, and the mouse I was talking about :smile:
Yeah, I know, that's what I said! I got used to them a long time ago though ... back when all the crazy people were using the arrow keys. or a TFGH configuration. It's comfortable, and that's all I really care about. I may start using ESDF for movement though ... there's just too many seperate functions in some games now, it's just crazy.
Oh and with all bitching aside, my mouse is fantastic considering I payed about $10 3 years ago. Much better then the more common Logitech optics at the time (the $30 ones).
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

On the mouse thing, I primarily use my laptop. I have this mouse,
it'sa little bit smaller than a normal one, 2 button and a wheel.
It's wireless optical, and the wireless transmitter thing is just a
little piece of plastic you plug in , and you can use your mouse for
like 10 feet. And the little piece of plastic fits in the bottom
of the mouse so you can carry it...
Sweet.

Hugh, you've got the most similar keyboard layout to mine. Most
people don't use the right mouse button for moving forward anymore.
You must be a Doom fan, back in the days.

i always use defaults, set the mouse up high sens ( almost max :o ) in single player games and low sens ( 2.0 ) in counter strike, also in counter strike i bound F to voice communication as a flashlight is utterly useless in that game :biggrin:
i learnt to use the default settings and i'm quite happy with that as most games use the same settings i won't have to fidle with settings before i go play :smile:
