Wasd + Usb Mouse For Fps - How Small Are The Keys?

[CCmachined]

would using WASD + a usb mouse for FPS controls work? would the WASD on the keyboard be too small?

now, if i could find a FPS with support for usb gamepads, i'd get used to using two sticks...

nobody has seen a finished pandora yet. The keys will probably be to small to be gaming on. Use the nubs or an external keyboard.

You could buy a numberpad and an mouse..

//Edit: sindbad: WTFF?! d-pad for movement? =S

 

[sindbad]

I think the dpad would work well for directions so you'd only need a mouse.

Yeh!! What wrong with Dpad for movement?

Oh wait Dpad sucks when you are not holding it in your hand.

Finally! Us lefties have the advantage! We've been using the number pad instead of WSAD all along! MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

I've used the number pad for the Descent series, I have every movement key, the automap and rear-view mapped to the numpad (that is strafe, up and down, reverse, forward, and rotate, plus I put afterburner where my thumb can reach it.)

I hadn't thought of the WASD keys, I wonder if the D-Pad will work. I don't mind the keypad, but I don't know if it will be supported (I hope so.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Pandora have 2 analog sticks already? The left could emulate WASD keys and the right analog stick could emulate mouse movement. I mean it'd be more like a console game controller, but it's better than nothing.

I sure hope so! One of the reasons I sold my DS was because of those stupid discriminatory control schemes (Metriod <_< )

@ everyone who says "this is pointless, use Dpad", if i'm using monitor- or tv-out i would like to use a genuine-feeling WASD and plugged in usb mouse for FPS games
the dpad is only really usable when you're actually holding the device in the air. ditto for the analogs.

Why use WASD when you could use second mouse...

Doesn't Metroid Hunters have left-handed control scheme as well as right-handed one (for stylus and keys mode)?

I also read that keys of pandora is more like cellphone(by pressing method) that on PC so I doubt FPSes will be playable with WASD them.

I think so, I also remember mech warrior having one too.

Well I am talking about without using peripherals. Obviously two joysticks/nubs are popular and successful for FPS games for a reason

Why I can't understand, I just don't get how people can use something with such a low level of precision and such a cheap feel.

I wouldn't FPS without a mouse, can't do it. It isn't a skill that I can ever see needing in my life, honestly. I have a tiny Targus Mini-mouse with a retractable cord all ready to go I can probably use it just fine on my leg.

But I live in the USA and still don't understand how the Ford Crown Victoria is still produced, or why people continue to buy Chevy cars (or the Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac cars that are the same as the Chevy.)
