Hey, it works well enough. Oh, and arrow keys? No idea how you can use those.
I hate WASD or ESDF or whatever other wierd keyboard controls u can dream up. mostley because with my control setup every button i need it within pinky or thumb distance. meaning i can run and do stuff at the same time. not so with WASD. the other thing is the wasd keys are not lined up straight and i always hit the edge of the buttons or the wrong buttons completely with irrattes the heck out of me! ARROW KEYS FOH-EVA!
also my buddy who is an AWSOME cs player uses the arrow keys as well. we usually laff at WASD'ers lol! but whatever yer used to i guess...
WSAD movement. Q is fast switch. V is voice. Shift is duck. Control is walk. I use the numbers up top for my weapons mostly. Pretty close to stock. I used to play Unreal Tourney with the num pad (my roommates computer he had one of those ergonomic boards.)
The biggest change though? See that retarded windows key right there causing trouble? (swear it's the most sensitive key on the board)
GONE. Piece of ducttape over the hole so crap doesn't spill down there. Honestly, who needs TWO keys to pop up the start menu? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Heck, why it's down there and not bound to one of the f-buttons or something those stupid n00b buttons at the top of keyboard is way beyond me. Yes, that stupid windows key has caused alot of nosound games. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
This is my config, which i have been using for a couple of years, with only a few modifications for ns. Anyone who has played against me should know the effectiveness of this scheme <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

umm i guess thats it
anyone use keyboard to <i>look</i> left and right? dont think i could stand that but somehow my friend does it...wierd.. anyone?
I use wasd, but esdf is the "best" layout in my opinion. It has the most keys in easy reach without having your hand on the right half of hte keyboard (and thus making it hard to type normally, as you have to slide your hand all the way over.) I TRIED to learn esdf when I got Tribes 2, because it's the default for that game, but I never got the hang of it, and kept putting my hand on wasd and throwing grenades and stuff instead of moving <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

My mouse setup is the only thing that differs at all: Mouse1 & Mouse2 - Normal Mouse5 - slot2 Mouse4 - slot1 Mouse3 - slot3 mwheelup & mwheeldn - Haven't set it up set, any suggestions?
This config work extremly well with hud_fastswitch set to 1, as I can switch weapons and use different weapons together much more easily than if I used the keyboard.
Mouse1 -Inflict rightous death on that which is foolishly in my crosshairs. Mouse2 -Forward Mouse3 -Backwards , - Left . - Right G - Command Menu J - Lastinv N - Duck Q - Teamtalk T - Trashtalk R or B - Reload Space -Jump Enter - Use (Aliens) Z,X,C,A,S,D,W -Various upgrades although I only end up using 3-4 of those anyways (Aliens) F1-F5 (Rebound my RR key) Various Alien Forms Well the Marines just JP/HMG rushed us key - F12.
Only game where i use WASD is Mortal Kombat 4. In HL(NS) i use this: Arrows - moving forward, backward and strafe Ctrl - crouch Kp 0 - use Kp numbers - weapons changing (but dont use these much) Kp 7 - microphone talk Mousewheel forward/backward - next/prev weapon Mousewheel press - flashlight RMB - menu (sayings, building etc.) LMB - FIRE! Left Upper MB - jump Left lower MB - reload
Whatever i do i have one hand at mouse that controls weaponry and second on keyboard that controls moving and the rest.
UP ARROW - Forward DOWN ARROW - Backwards LEFT ARROW - Left Strafe RIGHT ARROW - Right Strafe Mouse1 - Primary Attack Mouse2 - Menu Mouse3 (little scrolly thingy) - Jump Mouse3 Scroll - Next/Last Inv Delete - Reload Control - Duck Shift - Walk Enter - Use \ - Chuckle <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ] - Taunt (I'm an **** i know) Keypad1 - Last Used Weapon Keypad2 - Drop Weapon End - Voice Comm
Its weird and dates back to my Rainbow 6 days...the only FPS i use the WASD keys for is probobly BF1942
sposedly esdf is a better setp than wasd...more button choices...

SMB is short for (S)pecial (M)ouse (B)utton. ER and (EL are (E)xtreme ®ight and (L)eft, respectivly.
And then i have some other non-descript keys bound to phrases like "Damn, im good." and "Above you." <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
most messed config ever, since it hinges mostly on the mouse (un-relyable reloading <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and the Arrow keys which arn't known for speed.
Also nearly half my keyboard goes off the desk when i play and to type i have to lean to the left to put in the message; it doesn't help that the support on the right of the keyboard is broken, too. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hey localhost2600 -- I live by that Belkin Nostromo Speedpad. I acutally wore out the membranes on the old one and bought a new one ASAP. O_o I ended up having my keyboard configs across several HL mods (NS, TFC, CS, DoD) similar, then set up a "HL Universal" configuration so I don't have to worry about switching.
This SpeedPad really helps to ease strain in your wrist and also helps ease pressure at the base of your hand. Simply comfy.
WASD means you dont have to bend ur wrist inwards or anything like that.
You can just keep your arms straight, and thats the way aha aha I like it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
for a while i used two hands on the key board, ctrl and num 0 for fire/alt fire left right arrow for turning wasd for forward and back and strafe movement. and all voice comms on num keys.
I want to get a five button mouse so then i can have many binds on the mouse.

i playing with those buttons DoD/Natural-Selection but when playing CS i use " awsd " buttons.
And THAT is why I use Ctrl for use & Alt for Duck.
Creep.
