Keyboard Setup

by Panda • 26 Aug 2007, 04:05 • Journals
So, I was bored earlier and decided to do this image, showing my game setup on my keyboard with a little colour code to show each one.
This setup is kinda basic I guess with all FPS games I play (RTCW + ET) are same, CS:S and a few other games are similar (different weapons etc)

What's yours? :)

dude how can you play like that, with adsw for z movement you got lots more keys nearbye. or do you just have uber long fingers or something.

Why would I need uber long fingers? My fingers are pretty much normal size and I can reach every thing I need (minus chat) :)

dont you agree that z space is smaler between keys if you use adsw.

I'd say it's about the same to be honest.
Give it a try, span your fingers over WASD setup with your midddle finger on W as you would, then the same with the arrow keys like in my setup, there's not much different in distance apart from each key

no dude i try sucks big time, with adsw you hand is resting on all z keys you need, with your settings you have to move you hand. z men that made fps games picked adsw for a reason (z best option) why z fuck would you change that.

Which is why I'm shit at strafe jumping, but who needs that, unless of course you want to show off some trickjumping :P

It does limit my movement a bit I guess, and I can only strafe jump properly to the right :D

It's kinda hard to focus on the keyboard with the distracting element in the background :>

I don't really strafe jump left, but I can do it by crippling my fingers a bit, I need to start off left jump, can't go in to right then left :<

That looks horribly unergonomic. You should start using wasd before you get tendonitis or something! :X

I got the sprint at End, makes the strafing a bit more logic.
Once you go arrows, you (can) never go back :D

Panda 26 Aug 2007, 12:57
My sprint is mouse2 o/
It's shift when I use rifle :>

I almost used the same key setup, but i learned to use wasd instead(took me 1 week at least to get used to), now i feel my movement in ET is much better...also i can tj/strafe jump much better now.

So my word of advice is to learn using wasd(or similar) and never look back ;=)
