| Currently I am using: up/down arrow for dive/rise left/right arrow for left/right alt for power ctrl for fire shift for bomb What are other combinations people would recommend? |

| Add a 'Define Keys/Controls' option? |

| W/A/S/D - especially if you're combining mouse control. But yeah, if you're using keys they need to be redefineable. |

| no mouse control, but there will be full joypad support for ps3 and 360 controllers |

| If there is no mouse control, please use the arrow keys. Some folks hate WASD. Key bindings are a must though, so everybody can adjust it to their particular preferences. |

| What are other combinations people would recommend? Depends on what type of game really.W/A/S/D+ mouse is something more for FPS 3D games. Many computers in the 80/90's didn't use a mouse for games. You only had a choice of Keyboard or/with one buttoned Joystick. One keyboard combination used to be Q=Up/A=Down/O=Left/P=Right/Bottom Row or Space=Fire. But keyboard controls need to be user definable. |

| I could never get on with WASD - controlling movement with my left hand - which may go some way to explaining why I also never really enjoyed playing any FPS game. |

| Greatly prefer cursor keys over WASD as well |
