I'm a left-handed mouse users. I hate FPS that don't let you the number pad because then my keyboard is way off to one side, and that makes it hard to type when I need to.

I just wanted to know if anyone knew if you can use the number pad to move your player?

I really don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Just rebind the controls.

most games have both anyway, but I'm sure they'll let you configure, SJ said it a while ago.

What is it with these people worrying about the controls?

ya, but I mean that every game since doom let you bind controls, so what is the worry? Its not like its hard for them to do or anything, and do people truly think that a next gen fps wont let you bind controls???

I'm a left-handed gamer, so I understand what you are talking about...

But like the others are saying, this has been a moot point for the last few generations of FPS games. Most all of them allow you to bind controls...

I like binding just about EVERYTHING to my numeric keypad. It's an efficient setup for me, anyway.

Im also a left handed fps gamer and dont mind rebinding all my keys to the num pad. The problem i get into, ala tribes, is when there are too many functions to put on the numpad. This usually decreases my effectiveness and increases my death ratio. very frustrating

It is not that bad.

I am right handed and I end up playing Jumpgate with my right hand on the mouse and left hand on the number pad number pad (so I am way to the right side of the keyboard).
