He finally did it

Its the most awkward use of keys ever, it so much easier using the directional keys for movement and surrounding keys to crouch, jump, run etc

I thought aswd it was the old school way as I've never seen anyone use them in the 12 years I've been gaming not even at any of the LANs I've been too :eek:

WASD and the arrow keys are merely peasants compared to the true King of QAOP, its the only choice for old school gamers

I used to use ASDF with mouse3 for move forwards and, to top it off, inverted mouse. The very thought now sickens me to the core.

Hate · 27 Jun 2009 at 22:17

I used to use middle mouse to move forward, right mouse to move back, E&R to strafe and space to jump.

EdGey · 27 Jun 2009 at 22:50

that is awesome, xD

like the a/s/d/w vs arrows one aswell

Put your first three fingers on AWD. Doesn't your thumb perfectly reach the space bar for jump? little finger on ctrl for crouch/run shift? easy access to the numbers above and letters beside for other keys.

Using the directions, your thumb becomes redundant and thumbs are awesome.

WASD is the only way. Directional keys are for teh noobz

using directional keys for longer than 5mins breaks my wrist. :-(

now that is daft!

Johnny Girth · 27 Jun 2009 at 23:02

WASD is definitely the way forward, but true champs use CAPS for duck (my fingers don't comfortably stretch to ctrl. It means I shout a lot in game though.

huh? all the keys around the directional buttons are much more awkward to press than the ones around wasd.

ChroniC · 27 Jun 2009 at 23:46

when ever i put my hand on it keyboard it instantly falls into a shift, a, s, d, spcae combination.
Right mouse for forward though.

zain · 28 Jun 2009 at 00:13

At the end of the day the user should have more Ctrl over the keyboard. *logs out*

xen_ · 28 Jun 2009 at 00:15

Made me smile too

, and everyone in the universe uses wasd!!

my little finger rests on shift, maybe i just have small hands

I have to put some effort into putting it on ctrl.

WASD all the way

WASD is the only way to do it!
