F: strafe left

mousewheelup: jump
keypad enter: buy
down arrow: view score
x: use
c: secondary eg. silencer, zoom

I tried playing with inverted mouse once. That's freaky-hard.

I'm left handed and I use WASD. I like to have my hand somewhere where it can reach all the other keys the easiest. If I were to switch hands and aim with my left hand on the mouse (I could only IMAGINE the accuracy I could have), I would use the numpad instead of arrows. 8456 would replace WASD.

I'm on odd person lol..

I use WSAD, and I am left handed. Thing is..it's easier because for some odd reason I've always used my right hand for the mouse just like all right handed people do..heh..

I use ESDF, just because I set it a long time ago on DAoC to where A was auto attack and Q was rest. Man was I lazy.

using a mouse with your left hand sucks. i tried it once and NEVER tried it again.

I'm left handed and I have no problem with WASD (Although I usually say WADS). Arrow keys are just wrong. It's like a crime against humanity.

I use QWES. I just sidestep with Q and E and turn with the mouse.

Agreed. ESDF allows you to have more buttons surrounding your movement keys. Thus allowing you to bind more weapons to them, ect. That said, I use WASD because I could never get used to ESDF T_T.

Arrows keys absolutely suck.
