Reload-Click Mousewheel
Switch Weapons-Scroll MW
Jets-R mouse button
Prone- Num 0
Nades-R ctrl
Throw weapon-Num 1

That's what I use.

I use left alt for ventrilo, but I'm starting to hate it because I always end up using taunts while talking.

Hooray it's been a long time since we had one of these threads!

My controls:

Movement - Default
Change weapon - Q
Throw Nades - E
Crouch - S
Prone - Left shift
Throw weapon - Space bar
Reload - Scroll mouse wheel
Shoot - Left mouse button
Jet - right mouse button

Basically they're all default with the exception of: Reload, throw weapon, and prone.

Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

If you're using default movement, use Space Bar for 'nades. I love that.

Movement keys - A, W, D
Crouch - S
Prone - Shift
Nade - Ctrl
Chat/Teamchat - P/Ã… (i have a danish keyboard. Ã…'s right next to the 'P')
Throw - Space
Weapon Switch - TAB
Weapon Menu - Q

I think this is the best I've tried so far. I can reach every nescessary key at once, and I never accidently hit the chatkeys.

I'm confused.   I assume you mean the only thing you changed are the default grenade and weapon switch keys, you just reversed them?

This control layout is close to your fingers reach and on the Right side of any Modern keyboard

My Favourite Control Settings

Right Shift = throw grenade
Left Mouse = shoot
Right Mouse = jet
Right CTRL = change weapon
Middle Mouse Button = prone
Numpad 0 = throw knife/drop weapon
Numpad 1 = reload
Arrow Key DOWN = crouch
Arrow Key LEFT = walk left
Arrow Key RIGHT = walk right
Arrow Key UP = jump

i dont get why you need to change your controls at all....maybe tweak some stuff, i have the spacebar for nades, and mouse wheel for wep. change....other than the default is laid out good.

Default throw button is horrible because you can't move left while throwing a knife with it. Here's what I changed:

Chat: mouse wheel
Teamchat: mouse button (pressing down the mouse wheel)
Throw: spacebar

So, it works quite well for me.

Ever played nearly any FPS game on PC?
Space bar is default jump for nearly any FPS game on PC.
In fact I use space bar as my Soldat jump key, and it feels just right. :(

I use the defaults too, except my throw weapon is spacebar because it's really handy to hold down to get a long throw with the knife, and quick too. But looking at some of the other configurations, i might change some of mine too.

i use basically default moving, but some are changed:

move right: D
move left: A
Crouch: S
Jump: W
Switch weapons: Q
Grenade: E
Reload: R
Throw: Spacebar
Shoot: Left mouse
Jets: Right mouse
Prone: Scroll mousewheel
Talk: Y
Team Talk: T (talks mixed up cuz im used to CSS :P)

yeah thats my controls. I really like my small tweaks. I made prone the scroll because its easier to do while sniping and you dont have to take fingers off moving keys... and yeah. and talks  are easier to me lol.. yeah. I just couldn't take default throw. how can you use a knife effectively??? plus X for prone? thats killer (bad).

I use a somewhat modded default-based control scheme.  I use three fingers because that's what I use when I keyboard StepMania. It's what I'm used to.

Left: A
Right: D
Jump: W
Crouch:S
Prone: X
Throw Weapon: Q
Reload: E
Chat: R
Teamchat: T
Switch Weapon: Mouse Wheel
'Nade: Mouse Wheel Button
Fire: Left Mouse Button
Jet: Right Mouse Button

This way I don't have to stretch over half the keyboard (it feels like) to play. In case you're wondering, I use my middle finger to hit the reload, crouch and jump buttons. Jump and crouch came naturally from StepMania, and I play with my left hand slanted to the right a little, so it's kinda natural for me. I use the throw weapon and left buttons with my 4th finger, and the crouch and right buttons with my pointer.

Space for nades
