Ok I think I have figured out a good recommended Doom setup. Of course
everyone is different but after playing with various setups and talking to
people I do believe I have figured out the best. This is all just an
opinion so please experiment on your own as well. This is also for right
handed people. This setup will let you play keyboard and/or mouse.
Set up game for Mouse/keyboard play.
(These two are used for both mouse and/or keyboard only play)
Ctrl - Strafe left
Alt - Strafe Right
NOTE: Using the ones on the left side of the space bar of course.
Then use the mouse and set:
Right mouse button to forward. This will also open doors etc..
Left mouse button for fire.
This lets you move right, left, forward, backwards, fire and "USE" with the
mouse. The only keys you use on the keyboard are the Ctrl and Alt for
strafing.
If you also want to use the keyboard sometimes for a break or instead of
the mouse, set up the other keyboard keys this way as well:
Arrow keys for L,R,U and D and 0 on the keypad for fire. If you do not
like using your little finger for firing then maybe try the "Z" or "X"
keys and fire with your left hand. Still using Ctrl and Alt for strafing.
This setup seems to work well. You could also use the keypad setup for
arrow keys and "home" for fire.
The mouse and strafe combo seems to really work well.
Remember this is just an opinion. <GRIN>
