I always use ESDF and IJKL keys for everything, because of blind typing (point fingers on F and J). Best mapping for any kind of emulated controllers, when just thumbs is not enough, you know.
Arrow keys plus the z, x area of a full qwerty keyboard (for shot em ups and emulation of consoles with 6 or less action buttons).
Wasd and mouse for any kind of First person not only shooters.
Cheap joypad of the "Ps family" for anything more action intensive, like brawlers and fighting games.
For me, I try to use a controller whenever I can, it's basically just mouse heavy games like FPS or strategy titles, and even then I'll sometimes give a controller a go anyway. If I'm using a keyboard, it'll be WASD if I'm using a mouse, but I honestly prefer the arrow keys.
