What kind of question is this. It's all about ARROWs. I was compatible with WASD as well, but I still preferred arrows. Only when I finally went to my laptop did I have to ditch arrows cuz laptop keyboards SUCK. I'm now a WASD guy, but I can still play on arrows hella well.

CAL-IM with arrows!!! ^^
 
I used EADF.. I like using my pinky for left strafe, and I use my ring finger for all my extras. Yeah it's odd, but I've been using it forever lol
 
esdf rules

you don't lose shift, tab, and caps lock...you can still easily reach them as well...you gain more keys, period.

You can disable the windows key, but I can honestly say I've been playing FPS games since the original Castle Wolfenstein, and I may have hit it once...
 
ARrows rule. I could do it all with 2 fingers.

Shift with middle/4th and space with pinky. This depends from keyboard to keyboard though. Some of them just suck for arrows.

I even reloaded in CS with R (right hand). I wuold have to take my hand off the mouse and reload. I was even able to use brackets to switch weapons faster than most ppl use fastswitch (Q). I pratcied for like one whole night how to pistol whip and get the knife out if I was that screwed in CS. Hey.. made it to CalIM playing arrows, so I'm happy with them.
 
esdf seems like it woudl be pretty cool.. but then i was mock trying it out and when i try to hit the ctrl button, i would hit the windows key.. and that could be supremely disasterous in those fps games.. i guess i could get used to reaching for the ctrl button, but my hands aren't that big.. that's my only beef.. i could just not use ctrl since i'm gaining all those other buttons
