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'

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.

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.

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.

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'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).

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.

I use the shift button
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.

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.

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.Ahglock wrote...
