Both! I was discussing the key-game-pad-extra-thingie discussed in the other forum ( http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=768 (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=768) ) with Albert. I thought you lot could tell your setups and one might see some advantages and change.
well i use arrows [i think we had this discussion months ago]
r ctrl duck
kp_ins jump.
kp_end walk
f buttons r buyscript as is kp_* and kp_-
few other keys around that area.
5 button mouse for
fire 1
fire 2
last used weapon / next weapon / last weapon on mwheel
voice comms
and a short cut to my pistol incase i forget to put it on last used weapon and run out of ammo in a fire fight
Mouse = look/shoot
Keyboard = move
Boshhhhtieee
Hmm... I guess I'm a weirdo then:
Mouse:
XY axis: Look
RMB: Move forward
LMB: Fire Primary
MMB: Radio command "Taking fire, need assistance!"
MWheel/Z-axis: Unbound. Not good changing weapons accidentally in the middle of a firefight.
Left to right, bottom to top, keyboard:
L CTRL: Nightvision goggles - would probably be vocoms if I had vocoms.
L ALT: Walk backwards
Spacebar: Use
L Shift: Walk
Z: Jump
X: Duck
C: Fire Secondary
V: Reload
B: Pistol
S: Swim down
D: Step left
F: Step right
G: Knife
H: Flashlight
J: Spray logo
Q: Last weapon used
W: Swim up
E: Primary weapon
R: Grenade(s)
T: say
Y: say_team
Radio commands:
F1: "Affirmative/Roger That"
F2: "Negative"
F3: "Cover me!"
F4: "Need backup."
F5: "Enemy spotted."
F6: "I'm in position."
F7: "Reporting in." (I use this when I've just used "say_team" something and folk need to know where I am.)
F8: "Sector clear."
F9: "say_team Bomb's here"
F10: buys Kevlar Vest & Helmet, 2x FBGs, 1x HEG, and a Defuse Kit
F11: buys Desert Eagle and Kevlar Vest
F12: Changes name to "AFK--CiM" and brings up the chooseteam menu
An arrow key config (like sheepy's) seems a little bit wasteful since the keys aren't packed so closely on that part of the keyboard. OTOH, using the numpad seems very sensible - I just find it very uncomfortable to have my left hand on the right hand side of the keyboard.
Also, I find it easier to move my fingers two tiers up the keyboard than to move them one tier up and down - that is, I rest my fingers on ZXCV during normal play and reach most of my other controls by moving fingers up and/or right.
Anyway. I seem to have successfully wasted a fair chunk of this evening now.

Hold mouse in right hand and whizz it about the desk, thump various keys at random, die, watch other folk play. Easy! Counterstrike, I love it. :D

you been watching me play ?(stealing my set up) :D
You guys sound like you have it easy. My biggest problem comes with any CS map that has 3 or more consecutive right turns. As my computer is near the righthand side of my desk, I invariably end up not being able to complete ALL the right turns as I reach the edge of both my desk and my mouse mat. I have to do 270 degree turns left instead when this happens.
I reckon the problem will be licked soon though because I've called the Dilbert IT Helpdesk and he said that the problem could be solved with the purchase of a £100 mouse mat extension pad. I'm gonna get SWMBO to buy me one for Christmas :D
TL. 8)
Get a boomslang then you only have to move 1" from left to right..
Please bare in mind that you will not be able to play cs for about a month until you get used to it....

Intelli is there coz me missus cant use the slang
Lower your sensitivity TL/Smite. It takes a lot of getting used to but you will find it easier to aim at distance. Top players have it so low that a 180 degree turn is almost the width of the mouse mat.
Lower it ive just got used to using it at an inch never mind going back to the whole mat......bloody hell id be knackered by the end of the night :lol:
I've still got a Boomslang if anyone wants it. I gave it a long time but couldn't hack it. I even got one of those glass mouse mats (more money than sense)
Glass mat any good?
i have tried about 4 mats and continue to go back to the boomslang mat.
/me Should'nt spend more money must have another mat....noooooo dont spend must havvvveee..
I have 2 spare Boomslangs just in case this one packs up....
let me explain.. i did'nt buy these my first one packed up(wheel clicking itself) and they sent me another one without asking for old one back the new one they sent did also not work (right click sticking) so they sent another and lowandbehold i lent it to JAS and he found a piece of plastic stuck under the right mouse button. JAS didnt like it and i now have it back so there thought you might like an expanation as to why i have over £300 pounds worth of mice ahhh but if i add up my other mice. a intelli explorer £35 and a intelli explorer wireless £40 and 2 normal microsoft mouse at £10 each i have £385 worth of mats. shall i go into mats nah best not 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O
I'm not sure it's any better than any other mat but it cost £30 so I had to have it. I still can't believe what a prat I am, I mean, £30 for a mouse mat. My missus would have me committed if she knew.
Don't care what you've spent on mice/mats ... if you turn 180 in an inch you're gonna hit Jack Shit. :P

Oldie, have you ever seen the 'Parrot sketch'? Well my post was a rehash of a Dilbert cartoon (applied to the CS environment, naturally) that achieved an equal level of fame within the IT community. The smilie was meant to give it away as humour, sorry :lol:
TL. 8)
There is but one one way to play Cs and it's name is Optical Tractball
personally I use an IR mouse, so I don't have to worry about a stick mouse mat...
I just use a ms intellimouse explorer, in win xp pro WITH mouse acceleration ON!
I know it sounds wierd, but when someone hits me, I can jerk the mouse in the relevant direction and it whips round as fast as speedy gonzalez on speed and then, u just move the mouse nice and slow and the precision is freaky.
Took a bit to get used to it, but I can't play without it on now.

And I cringe at spending £50 on a mouse and claw pack! £30 for a mouse mat you must be mad or it must be good! I have a £10 Kensington gel pack thing with a nice little lump for the wrist. It's black so works a treat with my Kensington Optical elite mouseand is made of that soft stocking type material.
BUT the main thing I think is the best bet for mouse related stuff.... use the PS/2 connection and pump the sample rate up to 200 reports/ sec in your XP or Win2K mouse settings. It will make you much more accurate, or more correctly you are aiming close to where you think you are. A USB connected mouse does not have a look in becasue of it's fixed (and lower) sample rate.

Well I'm damned! I've just ordered both of those AND I've got an Intellimouse v.3. I'm gonna be Ger-rate!
I tape my mouse to my head then use it in a virtual style as close to the screen as possible. I have a piece of string tied to my toe which flicks a switch to boil the kettle, the steam inflates a balloon onto a pin, the resulting bang triggers and accoustic sensor which through some convoluted circuitry fires a pneumatic piston arm into my funny bone, which causes my arm to twitch braking the foild contacts on my fingers which are wired to the keyboard. This is my fire button.
I'm bored.

you dont know what a diffrence it makes till you try it. i thought that my old 3 button optical without a mouse mat was ok. till i tryed the 5 button intelli, now i wouldnt ever go back [even if it does cock up some times , jamming the fire button and pullin out the kinfe in the middle of a fire fight]
i tryed a m8s everglide pad at i10 and wanted one ever since so first opertunity i got i bought one and im so gald i did
