FPS Game Keybind Setup

[MzCatieB]

Im wondering how other people have there keyboard Keybinds setup for FPS Games.

here is how i have mine setup

 

W=Forward

A=Left

S=Right

D=Back

SpaceBar=Jump

F=Use/Interact

Q=Primary/Secondary Weapon

1=Primary

2=Secondary

3=Equipment

4=Equipment

LeftShift=Sprint

LeftControl=Crouch

C=Prone

G=Grenade

Enter=Talk to all

#=Talk to Team

 

RightClick = IronSight/ADS

LeftClick = Fire/Shoot

MiddleClick = Melee

 

How About you, im doing research for the game im making and i want the keyboard to be intuitive for players

[miyabwah]

I have pretty much the same, but I don't use Q for anything, don't have a dedicated grenade button, press "Y" to type to ALL, "U" to type to team.

[mmracho]

Same but
E = Interact/Use
V or Any other button on the mouse not the middle/left/right click = Melee

 

edit:
 

Aaand I like holding down crouching and aiming... I dunno why Lol

[T.Vengeance]

E = Melee

 

LCtrl = Prone

 

C = Crouch

 

Middle Mouse Button for Grenade

 

All the rest are the same

 

Also, as a sidenote, when aiming down sight (ADS) I prefer it to be toggled so I don't have to hold down the RMB to keep aiming.

[Oshino Shinobu]

I have the obvious move on WASD and jump on space, but I bind almost everything else to my mouse. I have an MMO mouse, so it's got plenty of buttons to do it. 

[Wade]

WASD for movement

shift - crouch

ctrl - walk

1 - primary

2 - secondary

3 - knife

4 - grenades

5 - bomb

q - last weapon used

e - use/interact

g - drop

space - secondary weapon

mousewheel up and down - jump

mouse 1 - shoot

mouse 2 - weapon specific stuff such as silencer etc.

 

Only fps i play is CS though and sometimes some Quake Live

[laheugan]

From a long time mess up of rpg and fps, I've come to something like ... WASD move. QE lean or strafe, \ (or Z) switch weapons, Z prone (or, switch weapons), X or RMB aim, C crouch, G grenade, F use, T teamchat, Y/Enter allchat, 1-9 weapons, H holster, V and E (& MMB) for use/interacts, LShift sprint, Ctrl walk (more an RPG thing) Tab/tilda (`) team/server/map info.

[HK6]

W - Forward

A - Left

S - Right

D - Back

Spacebar - Jump

E - Use/Action

Q - Primary/secondary weapon quick-swap

1 - Primary weapon

2 - Secondary weapon

3 - Equipment #1

4 - Equipment #2

Left Shift - Crouch

Z - Prone

Left Control - Sprint

R - Reload

F - Grenade

Tab - Talk to Team

`/~ - Talk to all

 

Right Click (hold) - Look down sights

Left Click - Fire

Middle Click - Melee

Scroll - Switch weapons/equipment

[hehehehhehehehe]

I have W - Space the same as you but then I have the rest of my controls on my Razer Naga, making it much faster for twitch fps games..

 

1 - Primary

Scroll Wheel ^ - Secondary

2 - Equipment

3 - Equipment 

5 - Melee

6 - Interact

and then 

10 & 12 for audio controls 

[OddlyShapedTree]

I usually use T or V to talk if they aren't doing anything important. I like caps lock to be crouch but other than that it is the same. But if you want to make your game easy for anyone to just pick up and play, then use the defaults from other popular games. Most of us will have more customized and personal set ups. And most of us are the people that will change the controls anyways.

Im planning to make the keybinds customisable, but i want the preset to be more or less what every1 will be using

[MadZee]

Basically the same, but there are these differences:

E- use/interact

G- grenade

F- melee

 

No MMB and forwards/backwards (on mouse) love, because my previous mouse- Logitech M505 -didn't come with those. Irritating design, because I use the MMB alot while browsing the web.

[cafe]

I usually use the default and just add binds to my mouse buttons to switch weapons

other then that, alot of games are different with how they use weapons and things so you cant just universally use 1 set up comfortably unless you dont use half of a games binds

[Jirio]

WASD movement (i only use ESDF for games with lots of hot key's)

interact (?? i guess, i dont play shooters w/ much interact)

F for grenade

Mouse wheel for weapon toggle

L shift for sights (dont snipe much usually though)

Numbers same as OP

RMB for jump or sprint (only game i play w/ both is shootmania so yea)

does any one use somthing other then LMB for shoot?

space i use for ski toggle in tribes

R for reload

[peanutsrevenge]

Same (if you meant D=right strafe and S = back), but I use C for crouch and left ctrl for prone, however I'm trying to change to use the same as yours (been playing Mirror's Edge and C just doesn't work).

I don't use Q though, Q and E are game specific, sometimes lean, sometimes spot.....

 

Grenade is front side mouse along with something else for the rear side mouse

 

Crouch, prone and sights should be togglable btw.

[aizdaman]

My layouts are similar to ones people have posted in this thread but when I started MMO's a number of years back, I switched from WASD to ESDF to allow myself easier access to more keys.  This has switched over to FPS games as well now so for the most part, everything gets shifted over 1 row.

[Shrubpig]

Movement- WASD
Interact- E
Jump- Space

Primary- 1

Secondary- 2

Equipment 1- 3

Equipment 2- 4

First time hearing of A-left, S-right and D-back. Usual being A-left, S-Back and D-right. And I see others do the same too.

Mine is usually the default the game has, I get used to a setting in a matter of seconds.

W=Forward

A=Left

S=Back

D=Right

SpaceBar=Jump

E/F=Use/Interact

Q=Primary/Secondary Weapon

1=Primary

2=Secondary

3=Equipment

4=Equipment

LeftShift=Sprint

LeftControl/C(C in some games both crouch and prone)=Crouch

C=Prone

G(MMB, once again middle mouse button only in some games otherwise always G)=Grenade

 

RightClick = IronSight/ADS

LeftClick = Fire/Shoot

MiddleClick = Melee

[Helly]

Im a lefty so:

Movement: IJKL

interact: O

Jump: space

Primary: 7

Secondary: 8

Crouch: M

Prone: usually N. might change.

Reload: P

Aim: RMB

fire: LMB

Sprint: H

Dont play online much these days but chat buttons would probably be T for chat and R for teamchat.

Sucks to be lefthanded.... Takes to much time to do bindings.... And when the game doesnt allow empty bindings i usually ragequit
