Weapon switch key binds?

0 Frags +

What keys do you use to switch weapons? What keys do most competitive players use to switch weapons?

Since I started playing, I've used basically the default binds when it comes to weapon switching: 1,2,3,(4),(5) for weapons and Q for previous weapon. I've noticed when I've been playing that when I'm in an intense battle, I usually limit myself to my active and my previous weapon.

Q for slot 1
E for slot 2
F for slot 3

Different crosshairs for each weapon using a crosshair switcher I made.

If you have been playing with 1,2,3 etc just leave it there.

I use :
Q for my main weapon
E for secondar
mousewheeldown for melee.

It's a little weird, but I prefer it because I'm kind of a small man, with fat, yet semi-short fingers.

using anything besides 1,2,3 makes my brain hurt. might not be as efficient but it works.
also frees up other keys for voice commands (medic mains).

I use q for primary, e for secondary and r for melee. Since I have auto reload i didn't need the reload bind.

I use Q E R 1 2 3
F for call med and autoreload
It makes the most sense to my fingers
I used to use mousewheel before I realized how innacurate it was ending up

since having to use a g500 for a long time, I learned to not use the mousewheel at all, got my stuff on q e and f now, feels the best to me.

Mouse wheel up: slot 1
Mouse wheel down: slot 2
Q: melee
4/5: default
This way I don't accidentally skip weapons with the mouse when I'm swapping but I can access my most important slots, It makes playing spy a bit retarded though.

I currently use 1,2,3 but i'm thinking about switching to q e f after playing a decent amount of quake. However my medic button is q so that could be a bit weird.

mouse4 for primary, mouse5 for secondary, mouse3 for melee.

Before I got a 5 button mouse, I had caps lock, alt, and shift bound (to not interfere with movement fingers) but mostly used scroll wheel.

I'm the weirdest/ most unnecessarily complicated one here by far, I wrote a script that would make it so when I have my primary out Q sends me to my melee and E sends me to my secondary, when my secondary is out Q sends me to my primary and E sends me to my melee.

Another way of thinking about it is that Q toggle between my primary and my melee and E toggles between my secondary and my melee.

If the class I'm using doesn't have a secondary attack (scout, soldier), my mouse2 is also bound to melee and I use that on those classes a lot.

TreshQ for slot 1

F for slot 3

Different crosshairs for each weapon using a crosshair switcher I made.

And I thought I was the only one after everybody I told about it said it was terrible :F

hanbrolowhen I have my primary out Q sends me to my melee and E sends me to my secondary, when my secondary is out Q sends me to my primary and E sends me to my melee.

Um, isn't writing a script for that completely unnecessary? Isn't that just binding q to previous weapon and e to next weapon?

Scroll up for slot1
Scroll down for slot2
q for melee
other binds that remove the need to go through disguise/build menus.
