man WASD is tough!

[0roo0roo]

switched long ago. it works well. uused to use arrow keys, but that really just contorts hands to reach ctrl/space whatever...bad ergonomics.

W - Forward
A - Strafe Left
S - Back
D - Strafe Right
Ctrl - Crouch
Shift - Run
Space - Jump

Mouse 1 - Fire
Mouse 2 - Alt Fire
Scroll wheel - Zoom\Switch weapons
Mouse 4\5 - Game specific weapons need for emergencies (translocater, shotgun, etc)

I have never been able to use the regular keyboard in a game. I HAVE to move everything to the numpad and ins/del rows and such.

ive actually grown VERY accustomed to ESDF. The physical tick mark on the F helps alot.

The first computer game I ever played was Descent, it used AZXC for forward/backward/left/right, so I grew accustomed to that, and ever since have used that setup for all games. I've tried WASD before, as I recognize that it is obviously superior (allowing to you use your thumb to hit the spacebar while strafing, mainly), but never got the hang of it.

that's wierd...here's my descent config from back in the day
numpad - pitch/roll/yaw (7 and 9 for roll)
arrows - slide up/down/left/right
h-forwards
n-back
space-fire primary
g-fire secondary
t, y - flare

I found that to be the easiest, better than the stock config.

Ahh you played kb? Ack. I use kb + joystick. Sidewinder 3D Pro was the best joystick ever. I used the twist function for rolling, all of aiming and shooting and strafing with the stick, and only used kb for forward/back, strafing left/right in order to tricord, and for switching weapons.
