My personal preference is for D F K L, but you should just do whatever feels best for you.

xXDeltaXx · 06-1-2008, 09:52 PM

kk thx for advice =)

**EAGAMES** · 06-1-2008, 09:53 PM

Use whatever keys you feel comfortable with. Practice and you shall soon own.

E R U I is my personal preference, but really, you can pick any keys.
I switched from one-handed to spread myself, and the most important thing is to just keep practicing until you've got it down.

good luck making the switch =]

You may also wish to try something a little more ergonomic, like e, f, k, o. Your fingers fall more naturally in a position like that. I don't see many people posting setups like that, but if you're looking for suggestions, give something similar a shot.

hmm thx guys ill try all of these =)

I believe that Izzy positions his fingers in that manner, but I'm pretty sure he uses different keys.

Yes, he does, actually. I was pleased to see him mention that in a thread a while back.

Everyone kinda uses their own thing but the 2 most common (I think) are:

A S K L and Z X . /

As you can see, these are pretty spread out. Personally my right hand index finger is stupid so I use C V O 8...I don't like using Z and X because of the akward position half off my keyboard.

I play spread

Left pointer finger - down
Left middle finger - left
Right pointer finger - 8 num pad
Right middle finger - 6 num pad

epic.

**Mr.Nothing** · 06-1-2008, 11:07 PM

Arrow keys,
be like me. :]
Oh, and no speed mods.
Then you'll REALLY be like me.
Just kidding, whatever is comfortable for you.

The best thing to do is to try different key far away as in : ASKL , or, really close as in : VBNM
