Anyone who uses the C key to crouch is a hopeless degenerate - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;50835944][img]http://i.imgur.com/PLjS1MJ.png[/img] My muscle memory always tells me to twist my thumb in such a way that I can reach that CTRL without moving my fingers from WASD. I hate crouching.[/QUOTE] literally move your pinky down one button you degenerate

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50835958]literally move your pinky down one button you degenerate[/QUOTE] I never use my pinky tho.

Lot of filthy degenerates in here.

I'm practically playing twister on my keyboard.

[QUOTE=DasMatze;50834047]I agree with "use what you like best" and every game should have the ability to rebind keys. But I do find it weird that many games choose unfitting keys for their actions. Like I for inventory, M for map or L for log. I know they use the same letter as the action begins with but who wants to reach all over the keyboard from WASD up to I to open the inventory all the time when it could be on Tab (I always put it there) or somewhere else? This makes me either look at the keyboard (it's on a tray beneath the table, so I would have to slide it out) and distract from the screen or make me use my right hand which should be on the mouse at all times. Call me a console peasant, but that is the main reason why I use the a gamepad for most games that also appear on console. I don't play them competitively and don't need 100% precision in shooter games. I just want comfortable controls.[/QUOTE] I guarantee you that every dev has their own keybindings and then kevin who is normally just brewing coffee for everyone is set to the task of choosing the default keybinds. [editline]6th August 2016[/editline] RDFG for movement, Z for sprinting and X for crouch tho. Alt for prone if present. All others are inferior.

I use w to strafe left, e to move forward, r to strafe right and m2 to move backwards. A very comfy way to play games.

I'm probably the only person on the planet that uses e for crouching. e for "use" has never made sense to me. I always put that action on Mouse2, and the Alternate fire mode and iron sight/zoom onto the shift key.

I use space for alt fire in csgo. [editline]6th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50835940]do you not play any game that uses shift as sprint/walk and switching between sprint/walk with crouch is not a tactical choice? because you have 700 hours in csgo and you saying that you never have the need to use shift or ctrl at basically the same time never arises.[/QUOTE] I also use CTRL for crouch and SHIFT for sprinting/walking (depending on the game), and to get around this issue I twist my pinky in ways that would surprise you.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50835940]because you have 700 hours in csgo and you saying that you never have the need to use shift or ctrl at basically the same time never arises.[/QUOTE] Yes? Your movement speed doesn't change between holding ctrl or holding ctrl and shift. So when I need to stand, I move my pinky from ctrl to shift. There is no point in CSGO where you need to both walk and crouch.

[QUOTE=DeEz;50835667]This seems like a pointless discussion[/QUOTE] Nothing is pointless. Everything is arguable. Even the 8th visible color of the rainbow.

I just bind it to scroll down or forward :v:

[QUOTE=FlamingBlizza;50835621]ESDF /jk[/QUOTE] ESDF is objectively better if you have big hands I still won't switch to it [editline]5th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50835808]use your ring finger for shift when you also need to crouch.[/QUOTE] Just mash your pinky flat down on both keys at once?

I actually rest my pinky finger on shift/caps/tab. I use the base of my pinky finger to hit ctrl.

I prefer using home, delete, end, and page down to move, and the arrow keys to look around. I got rid of my mouse ages ago, it just holds me back.

i don't care if i either use c or ctrl [QUOTE]and some of us are still arguing about WASD and its eccentric (but likable) neighbor ESDF[/QUOTE] some people use esdf??

The new doom had crouch as c. When I came into a section where I was forced to crouch, I pressed control, threw a grenade and killed myself.

[QUOTE=Trixil;50839337]i don't care if i either use c or ctrl some people use esdf??[/QUOTE] I am using it, it's quite comfy and you have more buttons to press with your pinky.

[QUOTE=Makzu;50839368]The new doom had crouch as c. When I came into a section where I was forced to crouch, I pressed control, threw a grenade and killed myself.[/QUOTE] In my first playthrough of Doom 3 I didn't know you could crouch until I accidentally pressed C. I hadn't played many PC games at the time, and the only other PC shooters I had played used ctrl

Gears of War exluded, I guess. If I want to crouch and move slowly, I'll use alt.

I bought a keyboard for my laptop so I could use CRTL for crouching.

[editline]7th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=matt000024;50839795]Nah I have big hands and ESDF is terrible mostly because the F key has that little notch for blind people which feels bad.[/QUOTE] That's one of the reasons it's great.

Ctlr to hold, C for toggle Double tap W for sprint, used to travel, shift for quick action.

I've used Q for crouch since Halo came to the PC.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;50834238]Good fucking luck playing any game with a slide or dive function with CTRL as crouch.[/QUOTE] That's why it should be a dedicated button and not a fucking multiplier "Walk in a direction, press sprint to sprint then press crouch to slide" [B]no fuck off[/B] Leaning in games can fuck off too, it takes my precious E (use) key, and no, not "just use F haha", F is only for flashlight you [I]plebs[/I]

Bethesda are degenerates then, the default keys in Oblivion for jump was E and for the use key it was Space, truly outrageous, then quick cast magic was C.

i can't believe using what key for what action can be an argument but it really depends on using toggle or hold

Only reason i stopped using arrow keys is cause BF3 did recognise the keypad controls as different to the rest. That game broke a 15 year old habbit. 0 was my crouch key before that, fuck you guys.
