What it your best keyboard config?

I use the arrow keys for movement, ctrl for jump, shift to duck, key 0 for sprint and enter for use.
I find this very easy since all the important buttons are in easy reach and I can react a lot quicker than the normal WASD config.
 
WASD, but with my binds, therefore all weapons are "at my finger tips" hehe. Binds=teh help in DM.
 
default config here, though I ought to bind weapons but I'm lazy right now
 
Arrow keys for movement, shift is sprint, enter is use, ctrl is crouch and Numpad 0 is jump.
Delete (directly above my up arrow key) is hev suit zoom, page down is grenade.
crowbar and grav gun is on my MX510 on the side buttons.
 
i use wasd and q for sprint space for jump shift for duck z for zoom side mouse button for reload. rest default
 
arrow keys for movement
keypad 0 for jump
ctrl for crouch
keypad 4 for sprint
shift for last weapon used
and keypad 1 for use
spacebar is reload
mouse3 is zoom

Arrows - Movement
LMB - Fire
RMB - Jump
MMB - Secondary Fire
Ctrl - Sprint
Shift - Crouch
Enter - Use
Numpad 0 - Reload
Numpad 1 - Walk
Delete - Flashlight
End - Zoom

Apart from Delete and End, those keys have been my configuration for just about every FPS I've played.

ESDF for basic movement. R for use. Everything else is default.

Same. With ESDF, your fingers are in typing position, you can feel the F key, and you have more keys available to you (without moving your hand).

I dont know why devs decided on WASD, except that it was just 'habit'. And now is accepted as such.

o thats because i forgot to add the wait5,25, and 100 commands.

alias "wait5" "wait;wait;wait;wait;wait"
alias "wait25" "wait5;wait5;wait5;wait5;wait5"
alias "wait100" "wait25;wait25;wait25;wait25"

it should work now, its not great, and i rarely use it, b/c it still takes skill, but its great for quickly throwing the nade at least.

o and i made another script, not sure how this will work as i haven't tested it yet.

alias "+gravpickup" "phys_swap;+attack2"
alias "-gravpickup" "-attack2;phys_swap"

bind mouse5 "+gravpickup"

o and to comradebadger: No.
 
like I said, i rarely use them, they dont work well. And heheh. theres no way I'd even be a challenge to you from what i heard, but maybe.
 
RDFG for movement.

ALT = Sprint

Z = duck

Space = Jump

T and Y for reload and use

All other buttons around are weapons.

Weapon scripts are evil. :p
 
Defaults for movement...

Q is talk, since fastswitch is slower then me hitting 2->fire to switch

.that is all.

I agree with CommanderBadger, I dislike weapon scripts lots. Only script I've ever been confertable with is Buy Scripts in CS...

ok then, maybe we could 1v1 at hl2dm once.
 
Keys:

Home - Forward
End - Back
Insert - Left
Page Up - Right
Page Down - Phys swap
Enter - Sprint
Backspace - Use
Up Arrow - Gren/Slam/RL
Down Arrow - Crouch
Left Arrow - GGun
Right Arrow - Jump
Print Scroll - Magnum

Mouse:

MWHEEL UP - Shotgun
MWHEEL DOWN - SMG
MWHEEL Button - Reload
RMB - Fire
LMB - Alt Fire
Side Button 1 - Crossbow
Side Button 2 - Combine Rifle

Everything I need at the touch of a button.

There should be a regular bash on the hl2 server. Anyone interested?
 
I'm a kind of experimental person and I've always been looking for the perfect setup. I've tried everything from stuff like
a - left
s - back
d - forward
f - right
which gives too few fingers free (unless you have a monster mouse to compensate) but is very fast, to
e - forward
d - back
r - left
t - right
which gives many fingers free but isn't really confortable.
But no matter what I try I always end up with the default. It kind of disturbs me that it is so difficult to find something that beats it. Anyway, I think I will be stuck to wasd for a long time (or rather ,aoe for us dvorak users :E )

Man that was disorientating.. I was trying it out and it felt so wierd ;( , like vertigo or something..

I'm surprised that most of you use "Z" or "Ctrl" for crouch.. I hate reaching down there, so I basically use the default configuration, but instead of having crouch binded to "Ctrl" I have it binded to my Caps Lock key.. whereas for Prophet's config, for me it would be the "s" key.

I don't use binds whatsoever.. I just hit 4 twice for the crossbow, 5 twice for the rocket launcher, etc..
