Keyboard/mouse layout?

[Abefrulman]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a lyout? I was up all nite trying to get it right but it is still tough to get something that works..Also if anyone is using a 5 button mouse let me know how you have it set up.. Thanks!

[EDOX]

My Mouse is a 5 button M$ Optical Mouse. My far left button is set to Grip I think at the moment. I am planning on changing that since I don't use grip that much. My main left button is set to Alt-Fire, my Middle/Scroll button is to change my weapon and light saber stance. My Right main button is set to walk/run forward, and my far right button is set to ignite/disengage my light saber.

 

Keyboard:

 

Ctrl = Primary Fire

/? = jump

space = crouch/roll

;: = backward

'"= use force power

[] = scroll through force powers

k= use

-= = scroll through invantory

ENTER = use invantory item

m=push

n=pull

p=3rd person View

 

 

Other than that i can't think of anything. Enjoy!!

- This is the same layout I've used since Quake II. Works for me.

Q W
A S D                  ML MM MR
 Z X C                (Mouse Freelook, Inverted X)
     space

A - Jump                ML - Primary Attack
Z - Crouch              MM - Secondary Attack
space - Jump            MR - Run/Move Forward
C - Crouch

X - BackPedal           Q - Force Push (Grapple, other, etc...)
                       W - Force Pull
S - Sidestep Left
D - Sidestep Right

 

I've been thinking about getting one of those new Left-Hand FPS controllers. Anyone have one? How do you like it?

Key layout is personal preference but one useful tip I do have is this:

 

Mousewheel forward = push

Mousewheel back = pull

Middle Mousewheel = Use selected forcepower

 

It is unbelievable how push and pull become second nature using this combo. Especially useful in saber fights. Also if you have grip as your selected power try gripping into the air and then nudging the mousewheel forward to send people flying wherever you want them to go (Big drops are my fave).

Now that is a great Idea. I am trying that when I get home tonight. =D Thanks!!

The wheel mouse is a saviour. I've also had it on push and pull for a while and I love it. It's so easy.

 

My two buttons on the mouse are primary and secondary fire. I can't get my button 3 to work. I have to work on that some more. I want that as change saber stance.

 

esdf - movement

v - crouch

x - use (more for singleplayer)

aq - cycle weapons

wt - cycle force

r - use force

z - lightning (don't like it there though, need to move)

shift - grip (don't use it much though)

c - don't remember

 

I need to remap some of my force powers, the ones i have now aren't intuitive and I don't use them that much anymore. I use light mostly.

 

Any suggestions for powers such as seeing, heal absorb and speed.

[thomase]

ESDF - forward, back, strafe l/r

 

mouse1 - primary attack

mouse3(wheel button) - secondary attack

mouse2 - jump

mousescroll - change weapon (don't use much)

 

space - crouch

B - bacta

 

R - push

W - pull

(these two are really handy)

 

QTAGZXCV - used for remaining force powers

 

CAPLOCK - change saber style (also handy)

SHIFT - walk

CTRL - use (single player)

[Abefrulman]

[goorooloo]

Just a question, where/why did you start using mouse2 as forward? I've seen a few other ppl using this on other boards for other games and it just seemed odd to me.

Very convenient configuration. Hardly need to move to achieve a desired effect.

I'm both left-handed and a dane. This means I have to opt for a somewhat non-standard keyboard layout, as many keys have been swapped arounf to make room for the letters æ, ø and å that are common in my native tongue.

 

Arrow kays - movement

Shift - jump

Ctrl - crouch

end - use force

delete - next force

page down - previous force

insert - use bacta

enter - change saber style

insert - next inventory

page up - previous inventory

home - use inventory item

mousewheel - change weapon

click mousewheel - force push

backspace - taunt

t/y - chat/team chat

x - open console

 

Seeing as I mainly play duel games, I like the idea of mousewheel up and down for pushing and pulling. I think I'll re-bind it for my next game. I can always use keypad 4 and 1 to go back and fowards through my weapons list

[Paradox1]

Lets see...

wasd movement

f use force power

q push

e pull

shift crouch

alt heal

ctrl offer challenge
