It's the first thing I do with any game.

How about your favorite configurations?

As someone who grew up always going for the melee (Day of Defeat had one of the best Melee systems (SHOVEL TO THE FACE), Battle Field 2 was terrible. Call of Duty 4 isn't too bad, but some of those soldiers have like 6 foot long arms...), I find that melee on consoles is a bit harder than on PC. I always tie my melee button to the 'look' stick's click feature.

No matter the game, invert is always off.

For consoles, I always invert. It bugs the hell out of me when it doesn't let you, but I manage to adjust. For PC however, I never do. Up means up with the mouse.

Also on the theme of customizing controls, I wish more games would give you complete contorl over customization.  The trend of customization meaning a choice of 6 pprelaid configurations doesn't do it for me (liek Killzone 2 and Wolfenstein).  I like assigning every button myself.

Totally agree here.  It annoys me that there are games where you can't remap buttons at all, or the ones you can are limited.  It sucks to have a couple FPSs that I am playing through, and no possible way to make the controls the same.  I got BioShock yesterday, and it didn't seem like I could make R1 shoot and L1 aim, which is going to cause me some problems I think.

I can't play any games with an inverted axis because if I hit the joystick up, I want it to go up...because that makes sense.

I've got the Xbox set up to autoselect Invert Y-axis. Played Gears at a friend's house and it blew my mind that people actually play FPSs w/o inverting it.

you'll get used to it and the game quality will make up for it

I can't stand inverted controls. Pressing down to look up makes absolutely no sense.

Always.  I cannot play Shooters without doing so.

I can't play without it. People saying that up going up makes more sense than up going down, it's just preference. I grew up playing FPS and flight sims, back when the y-axis was inverted automatically. That's the only way i can play. My brother, who's actually older than me, can't stand playing with it inverted.
