Darn that sounds hard to play with n00b, but once your used to something, I guess it isn't that hard :)

I think this is the wierdest setup, but I've used these keys since Descent 2. I slide my keyboard off to the left and place my left hand over the keypad. All the keys I need quickly, I put on the pad, the others, like taunts, saber challenge, etc. I put on the arrows and nav keys so my pinky can reach them.

Forward: Keypad .
Backward: Keypad 0
Strafe Left: Keypad 1
Strafe Right: Keypad 3
Crouch: Keypad 2
Jump: Keypad 5
Push: Keypad 6
Pull: Keypad 4
Speed: Keypad 8
Seeing: Keypad 9
Grip: Keypad 7
Drain: Keypad +
Lightning: Keypad /
Rage: Keypad *
Absorb: Keypad -
Use: Keypad Enter

Saber Challenge: Right Arrow
Inventory Left: Left Arrow
Inventory Right: Down Arrow
Use Held Item: Up Arrow

Saber/Melee: PG Down
Taunts: Insert, Home, PG Up, Delete, End

As for the mouse:

Mouse 1: Attack
Mouse 2: Alt Attack
Mouse 3: Lightsaber style
Wheelie: Switch Weapons
Mouse 4: Run/Walk
Mouse 5: Haven't decided

I like this because all these buttons are square to one another which makes it easy for me to find them without looking. I use my thumb for forward/backward movement and my fingers do the rest. Whats nice is my thumb acts like a pivot point for my hand so my fingers never get lost.

Sup,

ppl are wierd the whole w,a,s,d keys for movement is nonsense, try shifting ur hand to the left one key.

So now E is forward, D is back pedal, and S/F are strafe keys.

M1 = attack

m2 = crouch

m3 = saber stance

w = force push
r = force pull
q = protect
t = speed
a = heal
g = grip
z = lightening
x = seeing
c = crouch
v = absorb
b = mind trick
shift = walk/run
ctrl = challenge duel
alt = alternate attack
space = jump
windows key = REMOVED

One of the reasons I do this is because I have the natural keyboard, so now my left hand can easily reach almost ever action quickly, while my right controls my attacks looking crouching.

I rearely use force powers in MP, but in SP its freaking insane to plan0e on reaching from the w,a,s,d keys to f7 for a force power

Also I use this specifically for FFA/duel servers and I have a bunch of binds in the 0-9 keys.

Siege is a whole differnt file :)

BTW anyone else with a natural keyboard, have you ever worn out one side of your space bar button. Yeah that was a interesting day, when I was in mid duel and realized I had played JK2 so much the left side of my space bar, has ceased to function!

wasd = movement

mouse = looking

mouse 1 = primary fire
mouse 2 = secondary fire
Mouse middle = nothing yet
Mouse wheel up/down = change weapon

Q and E = pull and push
F = force use
ZX = change force
c = crouch
space = jump
shift = walk
G = taunt
.,m = respective commands (/cg_draw2d /cg_fpls /cg_drawgun
F4 = screenshot

probably missed some
