I keep watching these class videos and things that are hotkeyed to what is like the 8 button on my games people seem to be able to hit that and every other hotkey easily on the run.  My fingers are not big enough to pull that off, how do people do it?  Ar ethey just that fast, do they have a special mouse, do they changbe the hotkeys to something others than 1-8?  I can hit 1-4 on the fly whie moving past that and I have to hit shift to get to it.  What is everyone else doing? 

Thanks for any advice you can give.

hmmm... probably not the right forum...

anyway...

go to options and then key bindings



For 5 ,6,7,8 I use z,x,c,v

The 'main' power for whatever class I'm playing I use 'caps lock'

I'll use my (G5) mouse's side button [8] the sensitivity buttons [6] and [7] Shift [5] the rest default. Sensitivity buttons are a bit tricky, I can't fire while using them, but it's manageable. [8] will be my most used/critical power (Charge, Cloak, AR, Drones etc); [6] and [7] are the designated squad powers (strip + Pull, Pull + Warp, strip + Hack/Dominate etc - best used combined with Shep's powers); [5] medkits or extra (squad)power. [1][2][3][4] is sufficient to use (almost) all powers available to Shepard (like power hungry classes - Adepts, Engineers and Sentinels). It works for me, but I do know others use different setups (using [Z],[X],[C] for example).

Hope this helps. What hardware (mouse-keyboard) are you using? Most recent/decent gear's got some spare buttons - everything within reach (while playing) will do.

I map those keys to my mouse buttons.

8 mouse wheel (index finger)

7 mouse button 1 (can hit with thumb)

6 mouse button 2 (can hit with thumb)

5 shift (can hit with pinky)

4 caps (can hit with pinky)



I map my heavily used abilities to 4 - 8 since I can hit all of those buttons without moving my fingers from WASD and leave my rarely used or fire and forget abilities to 1 - 3.

I have the main class ability mapped to "2" - directly above W.
Then 1,3 and 4 for the other often used stuff.
5-8 I rarely use, but I will probably try to map them to y-x-c (not us keyboard) to have better access to them, although I have been doing just fine without them anyway.

Using wasd for movement:
2 = main class ability
1 = important secondary power/ammo (ie warp)
4 = things like barrier
Q and E = things you need quick access to like pull/throw/incinerate.
Z = medigel
3 and X = squad powers, usually overload or warp.

3, 4, and X are variable, depending on whether Shepard is a heavy caster or not.

Because Q and E are power keys, my squad command keys are mapped to F and the forward thumb mouse button (SS ikari with two thumb buttons).
Others:
C is rally squad, \\ is holster weapon, R is reload, thumb mouse button 2 (the back one) is melee, middle mouse button is last weapon, space is the omnikey, left shift is walk, tab is pause.

I keep 1 to 5 as is, and map 6, 7, 8 to z, x, c. And move "previous weapon" to v.

I just have a basic mouse keyboard the microsoft 7,000 bluetooth keyboard and 8,000 laser mouse.  I bought them cheap when I needed to get wireless stuff due to space issues.  The Z,X,C keys feel really awkard to me, I'm thinking of getting a better mouse, one with mapable buttons.  Thanks for the info people, I was wandering what people were doing and how I could improve my play.  This might not have been the best forum, but it is where all the people who make the bad ass videos go.

Yeah that is what I do.  But I'd like to get good enough that I don't need to.  I haven't used it on my vanguard, but he is really a 1 button wonder.  One of the most enjoyable classes to play and yet I think one of the worst designed.

I keep my main class power, Singularity, Cloak, AR, etc, set to the 1 key, my main "attack" power, warp, incinerate, CS, set to my #1 thumb button on my mouse, any secondary attack or CC power, like Throw, or Flashbang, etc, set to my #2 thumb button on my mouse. These two take the place of 7 and 8. I also remap 5 and 6 to Tab and Caps lock, these I usually set for warp combo attacks, like Jacob's pull on Tab, Miranda's warp on caps lock, etc.

This leaves keys 2, 3 and 4. I remap 4 to the "T" button, (same distance from the WASD as the 4 key, but easier for my finger to reach.)  I use these keys for random squad powers, defense strippers, etc.  Also, on power heavy classes, I set powers I use more often on key 2, then 3, then T.

As an example, with a squad set-up with Miranda and Jacob, on my current Adept playthru (I'm GOING to learn how to play an Adept dammit), this is how my key setup looks:

1:  Singularity
2: Pull (mine)
3: Barrier
4 (T): Miranda's Overload
5 (Tab) Jacob's pull
6 (caps lock) Miranda's warp
7 (Mouse thumb 1): Warp (mine)
8 (mouse thumb 2): Throw

On my infiltrator, with Kasumi and Garrus:

1: Cloak
2: Kasumi's Flashbang
3: Medigel
4: (T) AI hacking
5: (Tab) Garrus' Overload
6: (Caps Lock) Kasumi's Overload
7: (MT1) Incinerate
8: (MT2) Bonus, either Flashbang, Neural Shock, or Energy Drain, usually ED.

The above are examples, and change wildly depending on class and squadmates, but it works for me.

Edit:  Messed up my Adept setup, forgot I had Barrier on key 3.  Working from memory isn't such a good idea for me sometimes. Image IPB

Yeah I kind of stick with the shift button. Less of my memory playing tricks on me and me using the wrong power incidents.

It's okay. BW needed to make the game accessible to a wide audience. The Vanguard was meant for all the philistines and unwashed out there.
