Do you use any custom keybinds?

How do you change throttle to mousewheel?

[Sprayer]

You click on the throttle button in the controls menu and when it asks you to press a key you use the mousewheel.

I've recently rebinded the map to Q. It's been kind of difficult adjusting but I know it'll be better in the long run, not having to move my hand from WASD.

Mainly voice chat on LeftShift, which causes my mic to lock-on occasionally..

I'm going to try out a setup for when I pilot where I use the pedals from my steering wheel for height control and voice chat and WS for throttle adjustments.

One of the first things I did was to move the dismount helm button from the E default so I wouldn't hit it by accident in the thick of battle and fall off the ship.

[MonsterMutt]

Q for the map.  After reading this thread I'll probably re-map the mount/dismount key.  Too many times I've dismounted when I meant to throttle up and it cost me the match...

Gun
S default munition
A second munition
W third munition
D fourth munition
M3 reload
3 look left (Smooth tracking keeps things on target when turning fast or with a damaged gun)
R look right (Same as above, the arrow key defaults are too far away to be useful)
L-Shift to dismount

Helm
W for descend
S for ascend
Wheel for throttle
1 second piloting tool
2 fourth piloting tool
4 third piloting tool (I prefer to play gunner, and this compromise is actually more ergonomic)
Space to return piloting tool to neutral. (Easy to use in a panic response if I forget to turn stuff off)
L-Shift to dismount

Do you use any custom keybinds? If so, share them here!

For me, I have:
PushToTalk set to Left Control - Lets me talk without having to move my middle finger away from the WASD keys
Map set to Left Shift - Lets me check the map very easily without having to move my hand

"Map set to Left Shift" GENIUS! GIVE THIS MAN A MEDAL
"PushToTalk set to Left Control - Lets me talk without having to move my middle finger away from the WASD keys" Move your middle finger... what? Ever heard of a thumb?

[Castus Crios]

I use a custom load-out for piloting.

And in general my tools are rebound as well as push to talk keys.

I use my naga with num lock on and bind the throttle to it the one and two keys.

I have r on crew chat, f for captain and g for party. zxcv are my tools and tab is my map for ease of use.

I could optimize it more but I'm way to used to it this way.

I've used vanilla keys for so long it feels weird to change them.

[treseritops]

...And I cannot push more than 5 or so keys at once, or the keyboard becomes unresponsive.

I have to be really careful of this as well. For whatever reason (I've yet to do any intense research) I can't hold three keys and press a fourth usually. If I'm turning while trying to change altitude and talking to my crew (A+W+X) I usually can't change my throttle until I let go of one of the keys (usually chat). I think the same happens for map on Q if three keys are already pressed.

[Captain Smollett]

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation of your keyboard. 

I have the same problem with mine but from what I understand, fancy gaming keyboards and other higher end keyboards don't suffer from this problem.

yes I get this too - what OS do you use?

See Smollett's post. There's no connection to the OS, it's all to do with keyboard limitations. I get the same thing with my keyboard, only three keys at once.

I use one of those Razor gaming keypads, so I change the keymap on it to fit the GOI defaults. But everything I need is under my one hand, including separate PTT for Crew/TS/Party/Captain VoIP.
