I've got the Microsoft Optical mouse... it works fine for FPS games.

Mouse buttons control forward and fire
Wheel controls sniper mode activate/zoom usually

I use the keyboard keypad... I tried the MSC and didn't like it. I also tried using a rublepad and it was too slow, but I'm a VERY fast typist (120 wpm when I get cruising) so using a keyboard is second nature. Keypad settings are probably pretty standard... 4/6 strafe, 8 jump, 2 backup, 3 crouch, .(del) prone, KP_ENTER Use, KP_+ Reload, 7 Next weapon, 9 I map to grapple if available otherwise 9 & 1 map to favorite weapons. Surrounding keys are mapped depending on the game to things like walk/run, map, inventory selectors, etc...
