************************************************************** „Weeds„ Super Bad Ass Keyboard and Mouse Setup for Unreal Gold ************************************************************** I use my keyboard and my mouse simultaneously when I play any FPS PC game (DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, Hexen, Quake, etc.), as most other players do for these types of games. Where I differ from the other players is exactly *HOW* I use my keyboard and my mouse in these games. I control the mouse with my right hand; with the left mouse button (right index finger) configured for "move forward" within the game, the middle mouse button (also my right index finger) configured for "move backward", the right mouse button (right middle finger) configured for "look strafe on", and my left hand controlling the QWERTY and SPACEBAR keys on my keyboard. I rest my little finger on the "Q" key for "jump", my ring finger on the "W" key for "crouch", my middle finger on the "E" key to disable mouse "aim" and "look", my index finger on the "R" key for "fire weapon", and my thumb on the SPACEBAR for "next weapon", or to run or "sprint", or open doors and push buttons or light switches (if the game supports these features). I then use the "E" key to temporarily disable mouse "aim" and "look" (and enable "look spring") when needed. This allows me to normally use the mouse "X" and "Y" axes for precise movement where required (balancing on a beam, walking on a narrow bridge, etc...), as well as using the left mouse button for forward motion (sliding the mouse left and right to turn towards the left and right while running, or simultaneously pressing the right mouse button to strafe while running), and the middle mouse button for backward motion. I disable mouse "aim" and "look" only when I do not require them. The following keyboard and mouse setup for Unreal Gold was adapted from my older Duke Nukem 3D controller setup that I have used for years, and can easily be adapted to virtually *ANY* FPS PC game.
