I use the standard controls.
My middle mouse button (Mouse3) is my Ventrilo key, allows me to shoot and talk at the same time.

Default ftw! I tried that spacebar throw Toumaz, but I couldn't hit anything for about a month until I changed it back.

up down left right to move (down crouches, up jumps). Prone is CTRL. Nades are shift. reload is mouse 3, firing is mouse 1, mouse 2 is jetpack. Im thinking about making mouse 3 (the wheel no the click) to switch weapons and change throw to enter. chat is `

Why don't you just use the voice activation option in ventrilo. It makes things a lot easier as you don't have to worry about pressing any buttons at all.

Really only changed 2 things.  Put my nade key as shift, and my throw weapon as the space bar.  Works out well for me, other then the fact that sometimes my shift buttons sticks and causes me to throw an extra nade.

I used to use the arrow keys for about a month when I started playing, but back then I didn't know you could use the number pad so I had to leave all my other controls as default. So I used my left hand for the arrow keys, and the right for the mouse. That led to me not being able to use my nades, drop/change weapons, and all that stuff because I would need to use my left hand which was already used in the arrow keys to move my soldat. So when I played, I only used my primary weapon and nothing else.

My chat is enter, my teamchat is the backslash, and my prone is space.

I used the to use the arrow keys before I encountered the same issues as cappy, except my default keys were moved in proximity to the arrow keys. But there was still that big space between up and end if I wanted to toss a nade etc.

I use all of the default controls except the spacebar is used for throwing my weapon. Not only does it feel more comfortable when I use my knife, I don't have to take off my left index finger from D when I'm moving. I've actually gotten better with it over the past year. I cannot imagine going back now. :)

That's not wierd. That's extremely practical. =)

In addition to that...
weapon throw with the mouse's thumb button
prone with space
nade with ctrl

also chat is 'y' and teamchat 'u' for some reason.

I have all default, except space is my grenade and left shift is my reload. I find it an excellent use for my otherwise-useless fifth finger.

Spacebar is for nades, mouse wheel is for changing weapon, and mouse wheel click is for throwing the weapon.

Mine is rather similar, just clicking the scroll is for using jetpack and scrolling for changing weapon. Left mouse button shoots, right one throws grenade and otherwise it is the regular WASD + X for prone by default.

Use the joystick for moving and the mouse for aiming.

Though I must say this only works well in the 3rd dimension. Might be a bit hard to get in the 2nd.

What kind of keyboard do you have?
A standard QWERTY keyboard. Why? Nothing weird about my configuration... try it yourself. Since my left thumb never does anything with the default configuration, using it for space to throw frees up time and it feels much better anyways.

Immediately when I started playing, I configured my movement keys to WASD so that all keys were close-by. I have shift for grenade, F for throw, E for reload, CTRL for prone, T for chat and Y for team chat. Left mouse click for shooting, right mouse click for jets, and scroll button for switching weapons.
The scroll button really gives the feeling of cycling through your primary and secondary.
