I use WASD but I can see how maybe ESDF or RDFG could be better as there would be even more useful keys but you would need excellent finger co-ordination ;)

Used to use Arrow keys but I find there arent enough keys around to suit. :shout:
 
Got kind of a odd key setup too, ive always used this setup since i can remember.

E=forward
C=backward
w=left
R=right
A=crouch
spacebar=jump
D=hammerbind
Mousewheelup = scroll weapon up
Mousewheeldown = scroll weapon down
mouse1/mouse2 normal

Played with that setup at lans and people thought it looked awkard but ive always played like it.
 
Nanko, actually that explains me alot about Paa's attack !

Always thought he did not use his hammer alot in attack, for example at bridge ....:P

One guy in that clan only has one arm! Yeah 1 fookin arm.
he is'nt the worst player in the clan either. So how does he do that? lol
my guess would be a joystick, coolie hat for the movement and the stick for the aim, or he has a mouse with about 20 buttons, however, RESTECP as ali G says :D

Well people have watched me play like this at UTassault lan's the (-8-) lans for instance and it feel's fine for me i used to have a very very small pull out shelf to put both my keyboard and mouse so i had my left had right on the far corner of the keyboard and they were the only keys that seem'ed to work.

My thumb does hammerbind backward and jump if that helps u understand it then 3 middle fingers do forward left/right little finger does crouch tips of middle fingers do weapon binds on 1-2-3 aswell but im still getting used to that.
 
would be nice to have hammerbind on mouse =D i got like Backwards and Forward button on it like u use when ur browsing on the internet how do i attach the hammerbind 2 it?
 
WSAD, Shift jump, Space hammerjump bind, and rest of keys with console spamming taunts...."You like that!!?"

i use a program called mousemapper ;) . It activates mousebutton 4 and 5. Usefull for games that doesnt support them. In UT u need to select a button for hammerbinding, for example E. Go to Mousemapper and bind Mousebutton 4 to button E. (Mousemapper always need to be active to let it work)

if you have a Logitech mouse you can bind a mousbutton to any UT action pretty easily
