Since mouse control works so terrible that it makes babies cry, I used to play mostly with the keyboard... Before I got used to mouse control in other games and thereby totally unable to pay Marathon at all =/

Anyway, I used arrow keys for movement although you can easily use numpad ir IJKL or something instead, WS for looking up and down D ahead, XC or something for sidestepping, and control key for running which made my pinkie finger bend itself backwards after a few hours of play and then it would stay that way for hours. Awesome.
