Controls??

[pyrotechnik]

Hi,

I currently use my keyboard and mouse for the controls to all my games on the pc!. Is there a joystick of some sort I can use for HL2?. I didn't think everyone used there mouse and keyboard. So if anyone uses something other than keyboard and mouse, can you pease post what you use. Suggestions are also very welcome!. I'm sick of using the mouse and keyboard, its to slow .

Thanks alot guys

Too slow? Please explain what you mean? There is no combo that can compete with the mouse + keyboard combo.

Well...not slow, but it would be better if there were some advanced controls. Joystick?

Nah. It would only be slower. On the keyboard you have as many keys as you can reach and use available, and with a mouse you can move the crosshair as fast as you can move your hand. If you can find a better and faster combo I think you stand to make a lot of money

I got what u are thinking about

Nostroma N52 Speedpad - - - also I've seen a Space Mouse that looks very cool

That thing has way too few keys. Get a keyboard instead. It's a waste of money.

Maybe its just the way i assigned my keys...

Umm... this is a real crazy idea but have you tried adjusting the mouse sensitivity in the control options?

108 buttons to few keys? and can assign multible commands for each key
u can set it to 4 different key settings that can be changed at any time


Don't even need half of them with the d-pad ....can jump duck away using the d-pad only

And Noone will ever kill me with a g-gun again with the second mouse wheel

I was just showing him an alternitive to the keyboard....I'm still not that good with it...still way better and faster with keyboard ....I guess it just takes practice....it's a little to big....no way i would use it in a match....Pwns the crap out of ppl on dm_overwatch though

It takes more time to first switch the function then push the button. I rather have all the button available with one bind to each for action binds (movement, weapon selection etc..).

I have made a script that changes the function of the keys, but that's only for communication and normal bind functionality switch.

These are the binds I use when I play (not including the switching which only switches the weapon binds):

// weapon binds
bind "2"		"use weapon_slam"		// The S.L.A.M.
bind "3"		"slot1"				// Crowbar as Rebel and Stunstick as Combine
bind "g"		"slot5"				// Grenade .. and S.L.A.M., then RPG, but selects the others first
bind "mwheeldown"	"use weapon_crossbow"		// Crossbow
bind "mwheelup"	"use weapon_357"		// .357 Magnum
bind "q"		"use weapon_pistol"		// 9MM Pistol
bind "r"		"use weapon_physcannon"		// Gravity Gun
bind "t"		"use weapon_rpg"		// RPG
bind "v"		"use weapon_ar2"		// Pulse-Rifle
bind "w"		"use weapon_smg1"		// Submachine Gun
bind "x"		"use weapon_shotgun"		// Shotgun

bind "mouse1"		"+attack"			// Primary Fire
bind "mouse3"		"+attack2"			// Secondary Fire
bind "c"		"+reload"			// Reload


// movement binds
bind "d"		"+forward"			// Forewards
bind "e"		"+back"				// Backwards
bind "s"		"+moveleft"			// Strafe left
bind "f"		"+moveright"			// Strafe right
bind "mouse2"		"+jump"				// Jump
bind "space"		"+duck"				// Crouch
bind "a"		"+speed"			// Sprint


// various binds
bind "7"		"say ns"			// Remember to be polite and give props to your opponents!
bind "5"		"say [:"			// Cute smiley. No?
bind "F3"		"say GL & HF"			// Say abrivation of Good Luck & Have Fun
bind "F4"		"jpeg;say GG"			// Takes end-game screenshots and says GG
bind "F12"		"stop"				// Stops demorecording
bind "h"		"+use"				// Rechargers mostly
bind "kp_home" "cl_playermodel models/police.mdl"			// Combine team-model
bind "kp_end" "cl_playermodel models/humans/Group03/female_01.mdl"	// Rebel team-model
bind "|"		"toggleconsole"			// Useless
bind "~"		"toggleconsole"			// Also useless
bind "shift"		"messagemode"			// Chat
bind "ctrl"		"messagemode2"			// Teamchat
bind "end"		"quit"				// Shuts down the game
bind "escape"		"cancelselect"
bind "F5"		"jpeg"				// Takes screenshot
bind "tab"		"+showscores"			// Show the scoreboard
bind "z"		"+zoom"				// HEV-suit zoom
bind "kp_pgdn"		"disconnect"			// Disconnect from the server
// bind "enter"		"+voicerecord"			// push to talk
// bind ""		"impulse 100"			// flashlight
// bindtoggle "alt"	"cl_showfps"			// toggles FPS display it on and off


// Pro mod spesific binds
bind "F1"		"pg_vote yes"			// Vote yes
bind "F2"		"pg_vote no"			// Vote no
bind "F9"		"showpanel pg_commandmenu"	// Bring up the Command Menu
bind "F11"		"pg_record start"		// Start recording a demo
bind "F12"		"pg_record stop"		// Stops demorecording
