I can't fathom why you people play differently than you type (assuming you use the recommended setup as in the pic).

because playing a FPS is nothing at all like typing maybe? I have really no need for any key that i can't easily reach with my left hand in the position everyone but you seems to use.

I use my ring finger to hit Z to prone and index finger to hit x to throw smoke when driving. Index finger does all the work on the right side of the keybard, pinky does shift and ctrl

It's very similar to typing in my opinion, hence, why I use the efficient setup that nearly identical to the standard typing one. It just doesn't make sense to use two entirely different setups for using your keyboard. You're a slave to the control key, shifting your entire hand over just because people put it as default. Break free from your CTRL masters!

I've tried nearly all of the descriptions that have come into this thread, too, haffey. I don't suppose anyone is going to change now, since they've gotten here with what they're used to.

I took it apart last month and cleaned every inch of it

Or were you talking about my hand?

Mine has never been cleaned. I've had it for about 2.5 years. I rarely use my desktop anymore, so it just sits there collecting dust. Once a good game comes out, I'll probably clean it up a little.

Sweet jesus I thought the only freaks that didn't play with their middle finger on w for wasd were the freaks that play with the arrow keys. You're like a freak of the freaks.

I guess I am a weird freak because I have used the arrow keys and surrounding keys for as long as I can remember. The whole wasd or whatever thing just doesn't seem comfortable to me. I'v always used the arrow keys without any issues and I've done quite well I think.

lol, I used to use arrow keys on the original Rainbow Six since those were the default and I used arrow keys for CS too.
