I have a survey for you Sratchers!
I'm making a new FPS (war game), but I'm not really sure how I should make the controls...
I need to decide whether to use the mouse or arrow keys to look around (I'm using scrollx and scrolly to make a 3D-ish enviroment).
I need to decide which key to press to shoot.
I need to decide which key to press to knife.
Finally, I need to decide which key makes you throw a grenade.
I would like to know what you guys would perfer the most, so this game can be as user friendly as possible!
Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Looking around could be mouse controlled, and you want the keys closely spaced together for convenience. ASD or ZXC would be the best I think.
For left handed players you could also do BNM or LKJ or something.

Agreed here. Mouse is best for fine control, and keys should be close together so you can easily access them. I'd also go with ASD unless you were using them for something else, like movement.
Also make sure to put movement keys near the action keys as well. You want want to have WASD reserved for movement and then use QEF for actions.
