Does anyone else out there not use the WSAD configuration?!?!?! After finding out that just about everyone uses that I felt all weird and left out =).

I use this:

C - Forward
Z - Backward
Left Shift - Strafe Left
Spacebar - Strafe Right
X - Jump
S - Duck
(Depending on Game)
D - Use Key
V - Reload
F - Light
Left Control - Walk

Just about any other keys around there can be used for miscellaneous stuff.

I got this originally from Descent, because that was the first game that actually needed many keys, for all the different directions one could go. Every since then that's how it's been in all first person shooters for me.

Left = Left Arrow
Right = Right Arrow
Forward = Up Arrow
Backward = Down Arrow
Fire = Left Mouse
Jump = Right Mouse
Switch Weapon = Scroll Wheel
Secondary Fire = Spacebar

That's all the buttons I use :)
I play mostly UT and use auto-strafe.

Gopher, are you dyslexic, those keys are pretty wacked out.

forward - e
backard - d
left strafe - s
right strafe - f
change weapon - a
jump - space
crouch - c

Miscellaneous functions go to q,w,r,and t. God bless games that can see all the buttons on my intellimouse explorer.

This config does have a problem with crouching and moving forward and back though.
