Accidentally changing classes during death/map screen.

I played a lot of the beta and didn't have any issue. But in the final release of Battlefield 6 there is now a way to change your class using the E and Q keys (left and right)

I am an ESDF player. I edit all my keys so instead of WASD I use ESDF where E is forward.  My use is on my mouse thumb button (I believe Mouse 4).  I tend to use that as use in every video game where I can. And I use ESDF where I can.  

I keep accidentally hitting E and changing Class. I'm not sure exactly how this is happening. It could be that just as I'm loading in I'm pressing E to run and its changing right before I respawn in.  It could be right after I die. It could be a habit with my hands on the keys. The habit is very hard to break.

My 3 friends in my squad are WASD stock key players and they said they have done it too, just not nearly as much as I have.

This is highly frustrating!  I would really like it if

  1. It was removed entirely
  2. Change it so its something that can be changed in the key menus, perhaps the UI key editing so I can make it something else.
  3. Make it so its not just W and E (or may be its Q and E) and change it to USE and Spot. Whatever those keys normally represent, get changed when changed natively.

Thanks.  I really hope this message gets to somebody at EA/Dice.  I can't be alone here.  I'm (and I think many people) are totally fine just clicking to change classes, or setting up keys they see fit.

    100 percent also use esdf this is the most frustrating thing in the world, I change classes multiple times a game by mistake. Not having an option to rebind this is crazy 

  • same here, I use EDAF and am also constantly changing classes on accident. there's an option for just about every other key binding, why not this? I'd even settle for editing configs at this point, or to disable this.
