Which Peripherals do you use for Competitive Play?

Crispy · 2012-12-17 20:05:15 UTC

Hey guys,

If you regularly play games -especially FPS- at a competitive level (e.g. league/ladder/tournament), please take the time in this thread to let us know what Mice and Keyboard you use.

In addition, I’m interested in particular to hear about any non-standard buttons and features that could be supported for all players, but that might be especially welcome for Competitive Play. Essentially, buttons that feature on high-end mice that we should be aware of and might be able to add support for at some stage.

E.g. How many buttons do people have on their mice, do they bind something to every button and what functions do they bind?

It’s very early to be prioritising this sort of thing, but it’s always good to get an early heads up.

Mouse I use is CM STORM Xornet and keyboard is some random non-gaming Logitech one (K200). In etqw I binded stroytool/defib to mouse4 and medkit/storyent to mouse5, They helped so much and I’d love to use them again for the same uses in DB.

I use a Razer Deathadder mouse and Lycosa keyboard.

I use all 5 of my mouse buttons.

mouse1 = shoot
mouse2 = jump
mouse3 (mousewheel click) = aim down sights (scrollup = grenade, scrolldown = secondary for DB; every other game it’s just scroll through the weaponbank but I have specific weapons memorized to how many “clicks” it takes my wheel to make)
mouse4 (sidebutton) = reload
mouse5 (sidebutton) = primary weapon

I have a Logitech mx518 and a Das Keyboard.

My mouse buttons are as follows,
m1= shoot
m2= iron sight
mwheelup= slot 1
mwheeldown= slot 2
m4= knife
m5= medkit

I use my sensitivity adjustors in dirty bomb actually because my preferred sensitivity lies between 3 and 4.

The only special thing i could see adding into my keyboard other than moving the bindings around is creating a button that would show me my lagometer as well as the scoreboard.

at the moment i+m using steelseries xay with all 5 buttons and logitch g 11 without any special keys

SteelSeries 7G
SteelSeries Sensei

There are not extra keys or anything on the 7G, so nothing unusual there.
The Sensei has 7 buttons in total and I use all of them in day-to-day tasks (not just gaming). I don’t need to worry about being able to map them as mouse1, mouse2, mwheel_up, mwheel_down etc. because I’m able to map them in the SteelSeries engine.

On a slightly unrelated, yet somehow related note; I have strong connections with SteelSeries if you’re ever considering a peripherals company to bring out a range of Dirty Bomb peripherals.

SteelSeries Sensei[/QUOTE]I was actually checking out the Sensei today as a replacement for my dead Diamondback. The Fnatic skin looks AMAZING!

Seanza · 2012-12-17 22:48:27 UTC

I have the original with the silver finish. Really, really nice mice. I’m fortunate enough to not have to pay for these products, though

INF3RN0 · 2012-12-17 22:55:30 UTC

I don’t really use much more than the side buttons on my g400.

Reacto · 2012-12-17 22:56:36 UTC

Got a Filco Majestouch-2 and a Zowie EC-1 eVo. I use one of the thumb buttons for crouching, m1 for shooting, m2 for iron sights and mouse wheel click for throwing nade. Sometimes also use mouse wheel to swap buttons.

I have been using 2 mice (not counting a new Deathadder which I bought recently to have a fair judgement on Logitech’s competitors mice and which is lying in dust w/o any use after 2 days of play - it has a very uncomfortable shape, lack of buttons and a terrible software):

ETQW (also in W:ET): Logitech G9, later after it died G9x (as RMA for G9) - this is my favourite mouse and the only one I found I’m comfortable with. The nice feature of Logitech mice is a tilt wheel which I use extensively. 9 buttons total.

M1 - fire
M2 - crouch
M3 - spotting macro
M4 (Thumb1) - use vehicle/ bail out
M5 (Thumb2) - activate/use
Mwheelup - select knife
Mwheeldown - prone
Tilt wheel left - select secondary (pistol)
Tilt wheel right - select primary (SMG)

Brink: Logitech G700 (not really competitive play since there were none but still quite a lot). Total 13 buttons.

M1 - fire
M2 - crouch
M3 - switch weapons
M4 (Thumb1) - buff/use/smart/f
M5 (Thumb2) - throw grenade
M6 (Thumb3) - melee
M7 (Thumb4) - tool4
Tilt wheel left - select secondary (pistol)
Tilt wheel right - select primary (SMG)

The keyboard I use is a Logitech G510 with an LCD screen (canz see ETQW class stars). Use it since the previous version G11 died
Every single key on it (including additional 18 G-keys) is bound in my ETQW to some movement/weapon functions, as well as vsays and class scripts. Many buttons are actually even bound twice by using the ETQW’s mighty modifier key binding and conditional binding features.

amazinglarry · 2012-12-19 22:44:31 UTC

G500 boi, jeaaaa!

Also I have some fancy Microsoft Keyboard that I haven’t bothered trying to figure out (all the macro keys etc). I just recently tried binding a few actions with my mouse keys after reading this thread - the side buttons for the G500 need some love along with the mousewheel being able to be pressed left or right.
