Weird Controls

by crumbs • 22 Apr 2011, 14:41 • Journals
Due to absolute boredom whilst revising, I've decided to investigate what controls people use. My controls, and the way I use them is very different to most people afaik.

So was wondering do any other people use a strange Portugal setup?

I use arrows keys too \o/ Will take a picture of how it's typically in position now :Pp

image: 5642883399_f301ee1814_z

Middle finger usually resting on 'up', while index is on 'right' and ring finger is on 'left'. Would drop my middle finger for 'down' and pinky alternates between 'ctrl' for crouch, 'shift' for sprint* and 'enter' for jump.

* Only when using rnade/sniperz, mouse2 is sprint otherwise!
** Note my awesome keyboard from 1997, has been resprayed numerous times since buying it :pp

ask m1ke, he has most fucked up setup ever
▼
Ethr 22 Apr 2011, 15:52
Standard WSAD for me but right mouse or capslock for fov changer, ctrl for walk and INS/HOME/PGUP/PGDWN/DELTE/END for spawn timers
▼
lettu 22 Apr 2011, 15:52
used arrows as well for 6 years+. lately wasd but played so little that arrows would still be more comfortable
think i had little bit better buttons though :D r for reload and k for selfkill for example sound like big disadvantage
▼
crumbs 22 Apr 2011, 15:55
they are keystroked on the mouse :D, main disadvantage is i cant really do the crazy left rightleft right strafe to dodge bullets easily, cos i have to move my thumb to do both keys.

I've never used WASD for movement, I use ASDF :D

bind a "+back"
bind s "+moveleft"
bind d "+moveright"
bind f "+forward"

More comfortable for the fingers and easier to strafe with!
▼
crumbs 22 Apr 2011, 16:10
so is your resting position on s,d,f and space or something ?
Parent
▼
ohurcool 22 Apr 2011, 17:58
Basically. All four of my fingers will fit on A, S, D, and F at once, with my thumb on SPACE. Then I just take my pinky finger off A when sprinting (SHIFT). It would probably look really weird if you were to watch me play, since I guess I move my fingers off the movement keys a lot. But I'm used to it, so it works! :D

USE WASD NOOB!
▼
PokemonJohn 22 Apr 2011, 16:37
Arrow keys for movement

KP_End - Prone
KP_Leftarrow - Crouch
Enter - Use/Activate
Del & End - Lean left & right
KP_Ins - Binocs
Space Bar - Killout
Ctrl - Sprint

KP 2/3/5/6 - Weapons

People say my controls are weird but I could never get used to WASD, I kept missing keys.

EDIT:

You drunk when you first started playing?!

Although Smurftang tops that, he plays with his hands swapped. What a MAN.
▼
crumbs 22 Apr 2011, 17:17
Yeah someone needs to post that smurftang pic it is mental. I think when i started i just quickly went into RTCW controls, and automatically changed the wasd to arrows and it made more sense to me, then probably left everything else, then gradually changed some other stuff due to keyboard layout.
Parent
▼
Mayni 22 Apr 2011, 17:34
Ah that makes sense really. I'd barely had much experience with FPS before WASD became standard, so the switch over was easy for me. Tbh there is nothing wrong with it, all what you're used to.

how did u make the dpi +/- bindable in ET? what does the game class the extra mouse buttons as since it goes up to MOUSE5 D:
Parent
▼
unblind 22 Apr 2011, 19:39
you change the function of the mouse button at the driver level so it emulates a keystroke then bind that key (hence "p keystroke")
Parent

Suiy 22 Apr 2011, 20:56
i knew about changing the buttons for the mouse just wasnt sure about binding to it ingame cheers ^^

Only remotely weird thing I do is crouch with index finger on C. So when I crouch and move left and right, I change my hand position to:

index on C
middle on D
ring on A

After which I just shift my hand back into wasda position. My hands are quite big so when I want to switch covert (F10) I just throw my thumb all over the keyboard and keep the rest in wasda position.

All controls default ET controls btw. Except G = +zoom and B = +mapexpand.
