What's Your Keyboard Layout?

I never play online because every server is usually Match and CTF or crashes the game.

Keyboard + Mouse controls:
Mouse: Move Camera
Mouse Button 1: Jump
Mouse Button 2: Spin
Mouse Button 3: Center Camera

W: Move Forward
S: Move Backward
A: Strafe Left
D: Strafe Right

R: Custom 1
F: Custom 2
V: Custom 3
LSHIFT: Toss Flag (Only for character abilites.)

PS3 controller layout:
LSTICK: Movement (Usually using analog mode.)
RSTICK: Move Camera (Only when using strafe controls.)
Cross (Button 3): Jump
Circle (Button 2): Spin (Changed to L2 for that one Boost2Win experiment.)
L1: Rotate Camera R
R1: Rotate Camera L
 
I play with or without the mouse depending on if I'm playing a platform gametype or a ringslinger gametype. I use WASD and the arrow keys for movement. My usual control set is:

Jump: Space Bar
Spin: Right Shift/Right Click
Ring Toss: Right CTRL/Left Click
Toss Flag: L
Custom 1: Q
Custom 2: E
Custom 3: X

I'm probably one of the few people that doesn't use their mouse in platforming gametypes.
 
Forward - Up Arrow or W
Backward - Down Arrow or S
Turn Left - Left Arrow
Turn Right - Right Arrow
Jump - Z or Space
Spin - X or Left Shift
Strafe Left - A
Strafe Right - D
Ring Toss - Mouse1 or C
Ring Toss Normal - Mouse2 or V
Toss Flag - '
Custom 1 - B
Custom 2 - N
Custom 3 - M

I'm weird and I have multiple controls set up so I can go from a general platforming set up with Z and X for Jump and Spin to a FPS control set with those same buttons being Space and Shift. I don't change any settings; I pretty much just leave them as they are.

Also for whatever reason, I'm not bugged by having to use A to strafe to the left even though I use Z to jump.
 
I use a configuration that uses the arrow keys along with a format I'm used to.

Arrows: Movement and turning
Left Shift: Toss Flag
Z: Ring Toss
X: Spin Dash
C: Jump
ASD: Custom 1-3 (Only use custom buttons without a Tails follower)

I also have a 2nd player configuration to take advantage of Tails.
WASD: Player 2 Movement and Turning.
O: Player 2 Spin Dash
P:Player 2 Jump
 
As of October 2014, I've changed my layout and I've updated the information on the original post.
Bump.

Movement- Arrow Keys
Strafe- AD
Jump- Z
Spin- X

Those controls are for single player.

Talk- T
Team-Talk (Don't know what this is for....)- Y
Ring Toss- Left Click
Ring Toss Normal- C
Weapon Slots- 1234567 keys (Not the number-pad)
Next Weapon- Mouse Wheel Scroll Up
Previous Weapon- Mouse Wheel Scroll Down
Toss Flag- Comma
Rankings/Scores- Backslash

Those are multi-player Keys.

(And a little extra Key.... Tilde for Console.)
 
I don't really play match(cuz, it just doesn't work for me) so my layout is mostly from the controller(Xbox 360):
Movement: Left Stick/WASD
Jump: A Button/Right Click
Spin: X Button/X
Cam L: RB <<Inversed
Cam R: LB <<Inversed
I use mouse in First Person view
Custom 1: Y Button
Custom 2: B Button
Custom 3: Back Button
Chase Cam: V
Ring Toss: Mouse 1

and the rest I don't really remember, because I don't play match. I just use keyboard+mouse(+FPS View) when I need extreme precision. Helps a lot in Egg Rock.
 
Blargh, you forced me to post here again by bumping this old thread ><

Forward: Up/W
Turn Left: Left arrow
Turn Right: Right Arrow
Backwards: Down/S
Strafe left: E/A (Electronics Arts ftw)

Note that most controls are exactly the same than TF2 so meh.
I might also be forgetting some controls so don't mind about it.
 
Arrows: Movement.
Z: Jump.
X: Spin Dash.
A: Camera up.
S: Camera down.
I think there's no pause button, but if there were, I'd set it to be either enter or spacebar.
Edit: grammar.

I actually use the arrow keys to move and space to jump, since when I started playing at a younger age I hadn't yet ever seen WASD to move and so I configured it to my liking.
 
Here's mine:

Forward: W
Backwards
: S
Strafe Left
: A
Strafe Right
: D
Turn Left
: Left Arrow
Turn Right
: Right Arrow
Jump
: Space
Spindash
: Ctrl
Other Abilities
: ?*
*I'm still playing v2.0 so this option neither doesn't exists or I haven't binded it yet because I don't needed It.
I tried to play with WASD for strafe and mouse for turning and shooting, but I just don't like how the 3rd person camera moves in this game, besides it was very sensitive.
I remember using arrow keys + z x c for other stuff (no strafe, though) when I started playing.
Regarding multiplayer, I like to use WASD with strafe and mouse in 1st person, but since I always have 190+ms ping for location reasons I barely play that mode.
