Your sprint key

AWSD is for the weak! Arrow keys FTW!

My keys are probably different than everyone's, lol. I love 'em though and they stay relatively the same across all games I play.

E = Forward
D = Backward
S = Strafe Left
F = Strafe Right
G = Swap Kits
A = Crouch
W = Weapon Switch
R = Reload
T = Enter/Exit Vehicles
V = Squad Voice
B = Commander Voice
C = Prone
Y = Commander Screen (see the silo timers and such)
Q = Command Screen (spot targets, etc..)
Caps = Squad Map
Enter = Spawn Screen/Kit Screen
Tab = Scoreboard
Left Shift = Sprint, Counter Measures
Space = Jump, Speed Boost

Most other keys are default... But this seems to work very well for me. I can easily find my keys if I move my hands around thanks to the F key's indention (keys or backlit anyway, but that's besides the point :P). Also, a lot of the times, I wont use Shift or Space for sprinting or speed boost, I'll just double tap E (forward).

Default shift here - I just wish I could toggle crouch.

I use KP Enter to srpint.

Arrow keys = Movement
right CNTRL = Sprint
DEL = enter vehicle
home = cycle camera views
num pad 1 = crouch
num pad 2 = prone
num pad 3 = cycle weapons
num pad enter = counter measures
reload = middle mouse wheel click

All my buttons ingame are customized to my liking maybe only 1 or 2 keybinds are originally what they were when I got the game.

Rezzed message of the day!

I played around with various combinations because, as Quemical found, the default key combos twist you in a knot. Especially when you are in the thick of it and you're all a**holes and elbows at that point. I have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 6000 (keyboard/mouse combo) and have settled on the following key combinations:

My large thumb button, I use to sprint. I remapped my right mouse button to generate a ctrl+\ combo. Ctrl is still used for crouch and \ I remapped in the Options section of BF2142 to Alt-Fire. This does two important things simultaneously for me. When I hold the right mose button I both crouch and aim. Now, when I come upon a target I can do the two most important moves in one natural stroke. I can also toggle aim and bounce easily which helps thwart a go-for-the-head sniper. I had to remap options for land and air vehicles as well for their Alt-Fire sequences. Works for me!

Meeeddddiiiicccc!

I divided move keys between hands.

right hand operates forward/backward move by mouse 2 and 3 buttons, left hand does strafe moves using keyboard. I found that such solution more effective but requires more practice.
