This is a question i've wanted to ask for a long time, but never have done.
Are you a "W,A,S,D player" or a "UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT player" ? maybe you have your own style ? Me myself is a "UP,DOWN..." but im thinking of chaning since the buttons isnt enought for todays games.
up down left right 
up down 4 lyfe
wasd 4evr!!!
wasd
but used to be up down left right
only changed as my hand wud be sitting next to my mouse....short keyboard space D;~
wasd or esdf, I like my hands spread out, plus I cant be arsed to rebind all the function keys in most games.
i play left handed...so i used the numpad.
numpad5 = forward
numpad4 = strafe left
numpad6 = strafe right
numpad7 = jump
numpad1 = crouch
numpadDEL = reload
etc.
if you play lefty it's the only way to go.
I never knew you were a lefty.

WASD! 
Quote from kleinlukaI never knew you were a lefty./me pets Izuno
bit of both actually
i can play shooters righty but am better left. at E3 i had to demo stalker right handed cause we didn't have time to reconfig controls in the middle of deathmatches.
I ar use WASD, but I used Up,down etc. when I played Doom, DN and such..
being an ex-professional cs player i can honestly say both work.
i used wasd at first and then wanted to spice it up so i changed to arrow keys.....i sucked for a while but then i got it back and it was ok...went back to wasd though...more keys in the general area to bind for stuff
being an ex-professional cs player
Somehow, I knew this before...
U might had more keys around the wasd, but over the arrow keys u got like loads of keys u can use for wutevr u need. Its not like I cant play with wasd but Ive just always played with the arrows so why bother 
Btw, another control related question: Who uses inverted mouse? (IMO its totally retarded, but lots of people apparently use this)
WTF!!!
I couldn't possibly even think of playing with arrow keys and reversing the mouse is like obligatory for me. All my friends play like that. You people scare me!

Mouse roller: jump (usually unless the game is retarded and won't let you bind keys to it.)
thumb button: reload (same thing)
For example in TS I have my lil finger on control (duck, although I use the same key in all games) and my thumb on the spacebar for doing stunts and stuff) and "ctrl + e" for super jump. In other words I don't need to move my fingers very much.
