Key binding Ideas- Seeking Input

Hi
Intent of this thread is to get ideas for key bindings.

I am finding the key binding options for PC limited, so I would like to known what is working for others.

For example - Driving. It was a pain for me to try to hit boost of the keyboard and maintain control. I finally mapped boost to my mouse, now I am doing a lot better in control, and placed in some time trials I was not able to before.

So what is working for you.

PS: I would like this to be positive, and about best practices. There are other threads to complain about the poor mapping options.

I'm using a variation on what I always do in PC shooters. I've always been an arrow keys player rather than WASD, because of the symmetry, spacing and arrangement of the keys around them, etc. So for this game, it's:

Up arrow : forward/accelerate
Down arrow: backward/brake
Left arrow: left
Right arrow: right
Right CTRL: crouch
Right Shift: sprint/boost
Keypad 0: jump
DEL: reload
END: EGO ability
PG DN: grenade
HOME: context action
Left Mouse Button: shoot/handbrake
Right Mouse Button: aim/horn
Middle Mouse Button: melee attack
Side Mouse Button: roll
Mouse Wheel: switch weapon

Player
Usual WASD for movement
Melee - F
Crouch - C
Sprint - Shift
Roll - Spacebar
Shoot - LMB
Jump - RMB
Aim - MB4 (Thumb button) or Middle Mouse button

Vehicle
LMB - Boost
RMB - Handbrake
SPC - Horn


Having the right mouse jump makes movement a lot easier. Shift for sprinting and Spacebar for rolling is like Mass Effects' setup which if you play that then you are already familiar with. Crouch shouldn't be CTRL because CTRL-Q quits the game. Instead make c your crouch button, many other shooters use it for crouch as well.

Yeah I use the same Vehicle key-binding; once I switched to that setup doing the time trials was so much easier to get all gold.

Left: (+LShift/+LCtrl)
Q, W, E, R, T
A, S, D, F, G
Z, X, C, V
Spacebar

Right:
Mouse: Left/Right Click
Mouse: Scroll Wheel/Scroll Button
Optional Depending On Your Hardware - Mouse: Thumb Button(s)

If it doesn't fit on one of those keys then I wont be using it. My standard FPS layout works well with this game.

swapped dodge and jump, moved quick menu and whatever Z was to F11 and F12.

Changed:

Q - Ego Power (Use mouse wheel to change weapons)
Tab - Quick Menu
Middle Mouse - Melee

All else is default.

any 1 using a g19 keyboard...would love to make some keybindings to change out weapon loadouts without having to pop into the screen window to do it.

Picked up a wireless one last week and the twelve buttons on the side make life so much easier.
