am I the only one that does this

I use a Nostromo n52, and I guess the keyboard equivalent would be w(fwd), s(bk), q(lt), f(rt). I find the wider spread more comfortable than wasd, and it keeps your fingers more straight so they move quicker.

Perhaps I`m the only one who changes them to the arrow keys?

I agree with you completely... I use EDSF as well. I think this gives you more key options in addition to be able to find your hand placement on the keyboard without looking at the keyboard since you can feel that bump on the F key. People think I'm weird for doing that even though they agree that it does give you access to more keys.

I can see EDSF being a great option I just have never tried it.

Swapping A and D is just plain weird.

Up Arrow - Forward
Down Arrow - Backward
Left Arrow - Strafe Left
Right Arrow - Strafe Right
Right CTRL - Jump
NUM0 - Crouch
NUM1 - Reload
' - Grenade

Varies a little for each game, especially when the game offers a "lean" right/left, and prone.

Doing that forces you to sit off-center from your keyboard and monitor.

Or just push the keyboard to the side when playing a game. I use a numpad-only setup for FPSs and this works for me.
