I use my left hand cause my keyboard's always on the left of the mouse, which is what i'm used to

Pinkie on A, Ring Finger on W, Middle Finger on D and Index Finger on F, i use my Middle Finger to use W and S, cause W moves forward whereas S moves backwards in most games, my Thumb is on the Spacebar cause that's jumping in most games, for games like Garry's Mod, Synergy and games with voice chat, i use my Index Finger to hold V to talk, or B if that's my voice key, i also use my Index Finger for talking in the chat box by hitting T with it, or Y for team chat, the Middle Finger hits E, my Index Finger hits R, my Pinkie hits Q (For Last Weapon in Synergy/Spawn Menu in Gmod)
That is a strange way to do that. Though I see how it would work.

"i use my Middle Finger to use W and S", i meant to say Ring Finger, not Middle Finger ._.

Pinkie on shift, thumb on shift or v (my crouch button), middle on W and S, ring on A, and index on D.

Oh that would work better lol. I use the norm.

I would always have it Ring finger on A, Middle finger on W and S, index finger on D, pinky on shift, and lastly thumb on space.

a few weeks ago I got this:

<3 it and cant play games without it. :)
Holy forget, how the hell could you use that thing, Lots of buttons wouldn't be there!

Straight down the middle with two.
Know what im sayin?

middle finger on w and s, ring on a,  index on d

Arrow keys, kthxbye.
How to jump, use/lean, run, or crouch?

How to jump, use/lean, run, or crouch?

Ctrl=crouch
alt=Prone (never use this)
shift=run
[=allchat
]=Team chat
delete/end=random things
num 0/ins=jump

How does it work for you? You can't jump.

I just use my thumb and my index and middle finger to do any maneuvering required.

Ya, I can't imagine using my thumb to strafe, in fact I have trouble picturing anyone doing that due the to huge discrepancy in reaction time of the thumb vs. fingers.

In any online FPS I can either picture crunchie always strafing left or always dieing.

What?

tl;didnt watch: I'm not always dying

Is there really a difference in reaction time of the thumb compared to fingers?

Nice, reserve a whole finger for toggling cruise control. I like your style.
