What keybinds do you use?

I'm curious about which keybinds people have set up, particularly the keys that differ from the default setup. Personally my biggest change was putting spot on left alt due to its value and moving class ability from F to Q. My full keymap is below:


And a template:

Pretty much standard here:

ZQSD (forwards/backwards/strafing left-right)
F for special ability (shield/ammo pack)
G throwing grenades

A target on sight
C fixed crouch
left-ctrl: temp. crouch
left-shift: sprint
right mouse: fixed zoom
left: fire, obviously

M: map
Tab: score
B: fire mode
space: jump
E: enter vehicle/turret
T / middle mouse button: knifing

V+1-10: commands


I don't think I use anything more.. lol.

I'd need a picture of the Logitech G13 to show you my mapping

W,E,R,D for movement keys. abilities and voice comms goes on the naga keys.

All standard, except I switched my melee to both my mouses thumb button and middle click.

Pretty typical I think.
Mousewheel - minimap zoom
Mouse thumb buttons bound for pitch up/down and also magrider turn left/right.
Caplock for PTT in mumble, since it's an otherwise useless key.
Only weird one would be I use R for grenade since I have reload on a mouse button as well.

Default though I also have melee on a mouse button.

ZQSD? Dafuq?

Anyway... I haven't strayed too far off the normal bindings. I've rebound minimap zoom to scroll wheel, throw grenade to a mouse button along with a couple of the voice chat buttons. For vehicles, I've set some mouse buttons for Turn Left/Right so I can turn the Magrider at maximum speed when needed.

Other than that, my keybindings are normal.

Most keys I keep normal except the \ key is bound to exit (finally got tired of ejecting myself!)
` key is bound to framerate display just because.
I am considering swapping these two binds just to bring the Eject option closer to my movement keys
Tactile pad attached to the W key to make it faster when I put my hand back into movement position.
NAGA mouse 1 through 4 bound to keys 1 through 4 for weapon slot selection
Mouse wheel bound to map zoom, right wheel tap bound to Grenade, left tap bound to Q.
Mouse 9 = Thanks, Mouse 10 = Request Ammo, Mouse 11 = Request Repair, Mouse 12 = Need Ride.
Have not bound 5, 6, 7 and 8 yet.

This Naga mouse is not quite perfect for me, but it is better than many I have tried in the past months. For the most part I can activate everything I need and never take my fingers off my movement keys.

I just bound pitch up/down to my mouse's extra buttons, changed redeploy back to DEL like good old times, and changed exit vehicle to U. Jumped out of a schythe when trying to reload too many times...

Standard, except the Knife is on F and special ability on T.

CAPS LOCK = Spot
Q = Melee
Middle Mouse = Throw grenade
Mouse Thumb buttons = up and down for flying
U = for getting out of aircraft
3 = Change view in aircraft

Mouse:
M1 - fire
M2 - jump
thumb - melee
scroll wheel - minimap zoom

Also, CTRL + R - redeploy

Non-default stuff:

• Crouch: V
• Crouch toggle: C
• Map: ~ (because it's important to look at all the damn time, and why would you want to hit M for it?)

...and these might be default, I forget...

• Spot: Q
• Toggle Attachment/Flares: X
• Squad Voice: CTRL

Random gear stuff:

• In the past I've used a sensitivity toggle on my mouse, but still have to set it up on my current mouse.
  • Very helpful for AV Turret and occasionally some other things (AV MAX, certain turrets)
  • This should be fixed, because it's dumb for hardware to provide any sort of advantage (if you have the min spec machine your game should look like trash, but you should have competitively viable framerate at least, and suffer no gameplay disadvantages compared to someone with the highest end system.)
    • A specific, actionable solution would be to give AV Turrets a built-in 2x optic (which will reduce sensitivity just like a typical 2x optic) which would remove 99% of the advantage of sensitivity toggling. There isn't a similar solution to AV MAXes, so solving that would involve a little more creativity (maybe the "Toggle Attachment" key toggles some built-in 2x optic? Clunky, but it would make the playing field level.)

custom keys:
z= platoon chat
x= squad chat
caps lock= local chat
i= get out of vehicles (i fell too many times haha)
mouse center button= melee

Seriously though. Do you have any idea how hard it sux to reset the standard keybindings in EVERY SINGLE game.

It gets even funnier when you have those games that drop you immediately into the tutorial where you can't change keybindings before getting out of it, or for some reason keybinding won't work. It's wicked!

Hence, even up to date, there are games that won't let you reset a keybind when a key is already used and you first have to reasign the other one.. it's friggin tedious.


FML

These are mine.






A lot of the N/A are "push to talks" now. its some what of mess lol and having my jump key on my mouse I know it well weird, but it works for me

Standard with few modifications:
Scroll forward is melee attack.
Caps Lock is team speak push-to-talk. We rarely even use in-game voice, so I bind platoon chat to "," and ".".
Proximity chat is "~".
"Delete" is redeploy, I'm oldschool

I'm a weird freak of keybinding - I'm right-handed, but I use arrow keys with the mouse on the right. Naturally, my keybindings are tailored to that. I've developed a rough system over time of what keys generally correspond to what actions. Having a G700 mouse helps a lot, too, since I have plenty of buttons there to put things on.

Anyway, leaving out the arrow key binds since those are obvious:

Right Control: Sprint
Right Shift: Melee
Enter: Grenade
Numpad 0: Jump
Numpad 1: Crouch
Numpad 4: Deploy Vehicle
Numpad 2: Proximity Chat
Delete: Spot
End: Use Ability
Page Down: Change Firemode
Page Up: Squad Chat
(1, 2, and 3 are emulated on mouse buttons)
Home: (what would normally be 4)
Insert: (what would normally be 5)
LMB/RMB: (standard config)
MB4: Use
MB5: Reload
Wheel Up/Down are for the minimap zoom
Z: Redeploy

I have other keys bound to other things, but I rarely use them and can't actually think of all of them right now. I left some things on their default, too, like tab for the scoreboard or V for the vehicle menu (I rarely use vehicles anyway), since they don't need to be close to my hand.

And in case anybody asks, I grew up in the shareware days where arrow keys were the movement keys for basically everything I played, from Wolfenstein 3D to all the platformers and side-scrolling shmups and puzzle games and everything else. When I played my first game where the WASD config was the default, my 12 year-old self saw this as silly and didn't understand why you wouldn't just use the keys that literally have the directions painted on them like we'd been doing for years before. So I just grew accustomed to changing the keybindings in every WASD game to suit my tastes.

What I'm used to aside, I'm not very good with letter keys for movement because there are too many keys too close together and in a disorderly (non-grid-based) fashion for my muscle memory to fully come to grips with, and I tend to push the wrong keys too often for it to be effective for me.

Cool. I use the arrow keys plus numpad for a lot of fighting games, and I use the numpad for movement in 3-axis space sims.
