Thinking back how I held the keyboard back in my Quake 1 and Doom 1, 2 and Final days. Like the following:




So yes, my right hand doing the left and right and up and down. NO strafing.
My left hand propped along the keyboard, little finger on ] for anything random, ring finger on Enter, middle on Shift and index on ctrl (for shoot). The base of my palm would hit the spacebar.

I played this way on ALL fps games up until Quake II because it had more keys than was comfortable for the way I played.

Also no strafing. I would spin around. Did not even know about strafing until Quake II. I occasionally played LAN Quake games against people using a mouse and did not get it. I held my own, but I was also definitely held back.
