Poll: Poll: WASD or arrow keys? Invert mouse?

Aiming in games is more like pointing than looking. Therefore, to aim at something above my field of vision, I would move the mouse up, exactly in the same way that I would move my cursor on the desktop up to click on an icon above it.

With an inverted mouse, to target something above your field of vision, you're moving the mouse down. It's not like to target something in Windows above where your cursor is situated, you move your mouse down.

Inverting mice is weird, unless you're playing a flight sim.

You're not moving the cursor though like you would in windows, the crosshair stays in the centre of the screen. You move the field of vision of your character in an fps games with the mouse in the same way you'd move your head in real life, that's why it isn't weird.

This for games that need lots of keybindings like mmos; gives you lots more keys to play with. I can see szxc working as well though.

Haven't played any mmos for a while, so been using wasd for last few years. I suppose if I still played mmos I would change my fps games to that set-up too just because I would be used to it and it does make a lot more sense when you think about it.

I used to reverse mouse every time and WASD, then i played Ryzom and then you couldn't reverse mouse, so got used to not reversing mouse and haven't since.

TBH i just tend to play the default keys in most games, life too short to be defining those keys!
