lol Looks like it would work. DOES hitting the fire button  on the mouse actually affect your accuracy that much?  WOOF!

I guess it depends on how hard you have to press the button.
Razer's have sensitive buttons though. 

For me, using my right index finger is the only way. If I ever have to defend myself with a knife (IRL), I'll probably twitch my finger during the stabbing motion. 
I'm set with my trigger finger though. hehehe

if it does throw the aim of the mouse off, i am sure we have all compensated for it from repetitive tries.

A few years ago Dafremen>FAS> was pushing the KUNG FOO.cfg.  It took the +attack off of the mouse and put it on the keyboard.  SPACE button if i recall.  That would do the same effect.

But i'm sure this is something we all compensate for.  Like flick shots, how are those developed?  Ever try to tell or train someone how to make dead accurate flick shots?  Hehe, tough thing, but we all do them.

Well I guess you'd get a bit more exercise playing Quake. I think its helpful to take one or two functions from your hands - but which ones?

[Whirlingdervish]

well if you set it to strafe left and strafe right, you'd actually get some use out of leaning in your chair to avoid rockets..
seems kinda wierd though.

I think it would work well for driving games and such..

glad im not the only one

had to put dirt in the wheels of my comp chair so it would stop shooting out from under me when playing flying games

i think those pedals would work wonders for cruising pr0n.  Just think, no more having to use your hands on your keyboard of mouse!  Man that sounds effecient.

lol sounds like it would help all right! I've become proficent at moving my mouse with my nose. It's just the double click that defeats me. (when yer dick's this big, it takes both hands to pleasure yourself..  )

Actually, I would never have put the fire button on the space bar. It was the last key assigned. (Hand grenades.) Fire was the right or left ALT key (depending upon whether you were rigth or left handed.) I originally designed the config for Quake when I was working as a software engineer (specializing in user interfaces for 10 years.)

Every single person that successfully switched noted that their rails improved significantly. Yes, those of you that fire on the mouse button DO compensate for it...what you're asking your brain to do is to lead the shot (more than would be normally necessary.)

In addition to taking all repetitively pressed functions off the mouse (and replacing them with movements that are pressed down and held like forward and backward) the config also tried to eliminate "finger multitasking" and separate right and left brain functions into two logical areas : offensive/defensive movements and navigational movement.

On the keyboard, "finger multitasking" was reduced by placing all weapon switch keys on a single finger: the pinky. The thumb, which is a very slow finger, took advantage of reload delay by becoming the fire finger. The jump button was taken off of the mouse (about the worst possible place it could be) and placed between the left and right strafe keys for easier bunnyhopping, strafe jumping and evasive maneuvering.

The config was the result of about 2 weeks thought, 2 months testing, tinkering and perfecting and another 5 years of upgrades and revisions. I'm pretty proud of it, which is why this post caught my eye. To date, over 150 people were introduced to it directly by me. Everyone that successfully switched reported marked improvement in their game (even folks that rocked before switching.) It has been successfully transferred to the following games that I know of by people that were introduced to it in Quake2:

Counterstrike, Halo, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto (II III and San Andreas), Quake3, Quake4, Doom4 and I imagine that any first person shooter could be outfitted with it. It was designed with maximum flexibility in mind, providing more user-definable keys (without altering the basic function of the config) than any config out there that I know of.

So there's my speech. Quake2 Kung Foo. Absolutely the best, most scientifically designed config in the game. I guarantee it.

Love,

daf

Very strange...

yeah, if you start out with jump as mouse2 you will have a very tough time of switching jump to space.
