Keyboard setups (bindings of keys to actions in the game) can be separated into two main groups:

Single fire button
Typically mouse1 (left mouse button) is bound to the +attack (fire) action and other keys (q, e, space) select weapons. So weapon is selected by one key and always fired from by the left mouse button. Typically jump is bound to the mouse2 (right mouse) button.

Multiple keys for select+fire
In this setup, buttons both select and also fire a weapon. For example mouse1 always fires from the Rocket Launcher, mouse2 fires from the Lightning Gun, etc. Typically jump is bound to spacebar.

Other?
I think vast majority of setups fit into the two categories above. But if you have some special setup that is maybe mixture of both or something completely different, don't hesitate and share it with others in the comments.

mouse 1 - rocket/ssg
mouse 2 - jump
mouse 3 - shaft
mouse 4 - gl
mouse 5 - smile spam

Q = Bind mouse1 +SG
Doubblepress Q = Bind mouse1 +SSG
F = Bind mouse1 +LG
SHIFT = GL
E = Bind mouse1 +NG/SNG
MOUSE2 = Always RL

This is actually a poll. Seems like you guys didn't vote or smth.

rl, lg, gl:

mouse1: "weapon 7 5 3 2 4 1; +attack"
mouse3: "weapon 8 5 3 2 4 1; +attack"
mouse5: "weapon 6 5 3 2 4 1; +attack"

sg/ssg are toggled on the same button with scroll:

mouse4: "weapon 2 5 4 1; +attack"
mouse4: "weapon 3 2 5 4 1; +attack"

mouse2: jump

mouse1 - rl
mouse2 - jump
space - lg
mouse3 - sng/ng
mouse4 - gl
mouse5 - ssg
hold ALT - mouse1 sg
w - axe

every weapon except gl and rl on mouse1.
so axe, sg, ssg, ng, sng and lg are selected on different keys and fired with mouse1
rl is always fired with mouse2
gl is always fired with mouse3

jump on space ofc

mouse 1 +attack
mouse 2 +jump
mouse 5 - weapon 2 1

q - weapon 8 5 3 2 1
shift - weapon 7 5 3 2 1
e - weapon 6 5 3 2 1
alt - weapon 3 2 1
5 - weapon 5 3 2 1

Something like that

Personally I use the multiple button approach.

Advantages:
-Very consistent in that you always know what priority order will be taken if you press a given button. You never have a situation whereby you misjudged your preselect toggle status and it fires an unexpected weapon on mouse1
-You only need 1 click to shoot a different weapon instead of 2.

Disadvantage:
-Arguably a case that mouse1 (or whatever single button you prefer) is the best for aiming with. For example if I have ssg the only way I can fire shotgun is mwheeldown which isn’t ideal.

Multiple button approach, sort of. A separate button for LG, and the traditional fire on another button:

mouse1 - fire current weapon
shift - fire LG, then switch back to previous weapon

q, w, e - select gl, rl, lg

space - jump

mouse2 - forward
a, s, d - left, back, right

heh, i could never get my movement working when mixing the shooting with the movement keys like that, firing on mouse1 while walking forward on mouse2

I have a mix of the two.

Left mouse = fire RL (or SG if I don't have RL)
Mousewheel up = sets middle mouse to fire LG (or SG)
Mousewheel down = sets middle mouse to fire SSG (or SG)
Middle mouse = fires whatever I have set it to using the wheel
Space bar = fires SNG, NG, SG in that order
Shift = fires GL
Ctrl = fires SG
, = fires axe

This way I have a way of firing any weapon if I have all 8. Then again I also have a retarded WASD setup whereby I jump with 'W'. This makes jumping backwards pretty difficult. I have tried to switch to using space to jump but I can't just get the hang of it...

Mouse1: fire RL
Mouse2: Jump
Mouse3: fire LG

Space: fire SSG

Z: fire GL
B: fire SG
X: fire nails
M: murder with axe

Selected "other" as I use a mixture of first and second.
Type 1 for shotguns (,), nailguns (n) and rl (k).
TYpe 2 for gl (alt-gr) and lg (mouse 3). Both returns to previous weapon after shooting.
+attack on m1 and jump m2

Mouse1= Fire
Mouse2 = Select GL
Mouse3 = Select RL
Shift = Select LG
Ctrl = select SSG
Q = Select SNG
F = Select SG

//Exxus

mouse1: RL (or fire)
mouse4: GL
mouse5: SSG
space: LG
shift: SNG / NG
CTRL: SG
2: mouse1 SG
3: mouse1 SSG
1: mouse1 AXE
q: mouse1 RL
e: mouse1 SNG

oO

mouse1=rl. ssg, sg
space=lg, ssg, sng. ng, sg
alt=gl, ssg, sg
g9x dpi switch1=sg
g9x dpi switch2=sng

mouse2=jump
mouse3=point
mouse4=report

I think g9x is really good when you need multiple attacks on mouse...

mouse1: "weapon 7 3 2 1; +attack"
mouse2: "weapon 8 5 3 2 1; +attack"
click mscroll "weapon 3 2 1; +attack"
CTRL: "weapon 5 3 2 1; +attack"
SHIFT: "weapon 2 1; +attack"
f: "weapon 6 1; +attack"

Mouse1: "weapon 8 5 3 2 1; +attack"
Mouse2: "weapon 7 3 2 1; +attack"
Mouse3 "weapon 3 2 1; +attack"
Mouse4: "weapon 6 5 3 2 1; +attack"
Mouse5: "weapon 2 3 1; +attack"

I move with the arrow keys and jump with my pinkie on Right Ctrl.

=)

mouse2 +forward
, . +strafes
altgr +back
space +jump

mouse3 +shaft
mouse1 +rl
b +gl
"ö" +sng's
l +ssg
n + sg
k +axe

I like that some still is using mouse2 as +forward )) Thats so 1996. hehe
Btw my setup is
Mouse1 +attack
Mouse2 +jump
weaponchange on F,E,Caps,shift,alt,space.

ok im lost on how to even set that up cause im retarted..

I do this and it doesnt quit firing bnd mouse3 weapon8;+attack

i know you can do weapon8;+attack;-attack but that just fires once wtf

I need to know the comand to bind it where you hold the button down it continues to fire instead of the top one where it fires automatically untill you run out of ammo??

Rex, you can't use +aliases with anything else in binds, that will make it stick. You have to make a new +alias.

What you want is something like


And remember that you can use weapon like this "weapon 7 3 2", that way if you don't have rl it will fire ssg, if you don't have ssg it will fire sg. Hope it helps

6 fire buttons, 5 on keyboard (use pinky for 3 and thumb for 2, (alt+space)) and mouse1 for rl.

Wish there was some keyboard that instead of space had a lot of keys in it's place, i want to operate more keys with my thumb!

Well it's not quite what you described, but pretty close:

http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.220723800/categoryId.35156900

Main fire is mouse1 - shaft/sng/ng on mouse3, boomstick on space, single grenade on alt.
Wasd to move, mouse2 = jump, capslock = zoom

alias +shaft "weapon 8 5 4; +attack"
alias -shaft "-attack; weapon 7 3 2"
alias +pine "weapon 6; +attack"
alias -pine "-attack; weapon 7 3 2"
alias +boom "weapon 2; +attack"
alias -boom "-attack"

bind "MOUSE1" "+attack"
bind "MOUSE3" "+shaft
bind "SPACE" "+boom"
bind "ALT" "+pine"
bind "SHIFT" "weapon 8 5 4"
bind "CTRL" "weapon 7 3"
bind "f" "weapon 6"
bind "e" "weapon 3 2"
bind "q" "weapon 5 4"
bind "1" "weapon 1" (Uh. In case I want to brandish the axe)

mouse1 +lg
mouse2 +rl
mouse3 +gl
mouse4 +sg
mouse5 +ssg
shift +sng

mouse1 +attack (essentially)
shift: RL
ctrl: instant weapon (LG)
w: GL
2: SG
3: SSG
q: SNG

MOUSE1 "+lg"
MOUSE2 "+rl"
MOUSE3 "+gr"
ALT "+best"

best:= sg,ssg,sng

I've always wanted to be able to shaft without holding down any mousebutton but too much hassle to change my old ways, and my shaft is fairly decent as it is anyway.

I use the good 'ol fashioned mouse1 +attack and weapon select binds.


There are quite a few gaming keypads out there if you are interested in that kind of stuff.
