Optimal keyboard+mouse configuration

[Nikolai]

Unfortunaly I don't have a joystick. Keyboard and mouse are my only controllers. Here is my configuration:


It has one big disadvantage: to slide left or right I have to hold down ALT key and move the mouse. If anyone faced with a similar problem, please give me an advice. Is there optimal keyboard configuration for the left hand, which allow to do the following actions comfortably?
Accelerate/Reverse
Slide Up/Down
Slide Left/Rigth
Bank Left/Right

I've read in one article that it's highly recommended to use 'Triple-chording' technique and then realized that I just unable to perform it.

I'm not a mouser, and I don't play a whole lot of d2, but basic movement requirements are pretty much the same for all 3 versions of the game.

I would suggest that you read this article for starters, it supplies many good suggestions.

I have been a mouse/kbd D3 player since 1999 and I have a joystick ... I just prefer not to use it for D3. I have found an excellent configuration over the years and I use this same config for just about every game I play. PM me an email address and I will send you my .plt file. You can then create a new pilot, copy controls from mine, and customize it however you want. I would be happy to hop into a 1v1 server with you and help you get started with it.

I've already read it a long ago, but still I re-read it once again. Good article, but it describes a joystic configuration. While I don't have a stick, I want to become a superior mouser

Iceman, check out your PM.

My all-time favourite config:

Bank left: left arrow
Bank right: right arrow

Slide left: numpad 1
Slide right: numpad 3
Climb: numpad -
Fall: numpad +

Accellerate: up arrow
Reverse: down arrow

Mouse:
Pitch/Turn: default settings
Fire primary: left button
Fire flare: middle button
Fire secondary: right button

Here is another configuration which is very similar to "Quake" and other "pedestrian" shooters. Strangely enough that it allows trichording in any direction!

W=Forward
S=Backward

A=Slide left
D=Slide right

Space=Slide up
LCtrl=Slide down

Q=Bank left
E=Bank right

Pitch and turn - mouse default axis setup
Fire weapons - mouse buttons
Cycle weapons - mouse wheel

My all-time favourite config

How do you use it? IMHO, It is not native for human fingers
