Take the tour ×  When I play Team Fortress 2 and want to switch
weapons I have to select one using my the keyboard's number keys
(1, 2, 3, ...) and press fire button on the mouse to switch to
that weapon. Alternatively I can select a weapon using the
mouse's scroll wheel and then pressing the fire button to
switch. I find this very annoying since it takes too much time
using this method. Is there a setting that makes the game switch
weapons immediately when I press a number key or scroll?

down vote accepted  Go to Options, open the Keyboard tab, click
Advanced... and then tick the "Fast weapon switch" option.
This'll make switching instant when you press a number key or
scroll.  share|improve this answer And don't forget that
pressing Q switches to your last used weapon –  Spidey Aug 7 '10

previously mentioned, what I do is rebind:  Primary weapon to
