Ugh, no. FPS has standardized on WASD over the last 20 years and people trying to reinterpret this are the bane of a positive experience.

Positional keys? Sure. Whatever's in WASD's place is fine. But splitting hairs for the <1% of users using nonstandard stuff (like a dvorak keyboard, which after a lifetime of computer nerditry I still have never seen in-the-wild) will lose you a huge chunk of your audience.

WASD or die
