I still play doom with the keyboard. I am not bad with mouse control but somehow playing doom with look up/down gives me motion sickness very fast. Maybe it's the fake look with shearing in software rendering ports although I get this in Gzdoom that uses diferrent rendering too. So, I stick with the keyboard. Although, I have come to realize that for deathmatch it may be wiser to use the mouse today.
My keyboard configuration is like the classic.
- One think, I prefer the nummeric arrow keys rather than the regular arrow keys. The cross design feels better to my fingers, I can reach backwards easier and there is symmetry to feel the balance correct between every direction.
- Second thing, recently I made some modification, simply as I play with the numeric, I assigned numeric 1 and 7 for Previous/Next weapon. In the past I moved along my hand to the number row to change weapons, not very wise if you want to change weapons fast. It's great when I constantly switch between pistol, shotgun and SSG or others during a battle to preserve ammo.
- Third, most keyboards today change the configurations, they have those Window$ keyz I hate and are no use to me, so the CTRL, ALT, SHIFT on the right side doesn't always feel right. When it happens, I might configure another key I can more easilly relate to on a specific stupid keyboard, like in my laptop.

And about modern controls (in Doom with mouse or other FPS), I am a bit weird for most people.
- First of all WAXD and not WASD. Yes,. that's because it also more close to the cross design of the numeric arrows so I can reach backwards easier and equally with the other keys. I am wondering if any other person plays WAXD or something similar.
- Invert mouse on. Most friends play without invert mouse. The inverse Y feels right to me for some reason, but this is what I got used to. It's like in flight sims where down goes up (because you pull back), or in real life, you pull/rotate backwards your head to look up. I don't feel FPS like a mouse pointer in 2d, I feel like being there. But maybe I am just used to it.
- Not the common keys of modern FPS. I hate E for use. I use SPACE, maybe I am used from doom. It's quite reachable. And close ones for what I want, Q for jump, C for crouch, R or E for reload, F or G possibly for melee or grenade, S/Z can be used for zooming sniper (except if second/third mouse button)
I talk too much :)
