Did you realize. Your unlocked items are not always on the same weapon slot (activation key). I think it is quite stupid, that it depends on the combination of your selection.
Example: The motion mine from the engineere is sometimes on the nr 6 and sometimes on the nr 5 (or what you defined in the settings), depending on your second item.
I think they should change the key settings:

Just one key for each weapon (knife, pistol, main weapon) and one key for the LEFT SLOT and one for the RIGHT SLOT. Not the item should be bound to a key but the slot in your screen where you customize your soldier.

What do you think? I think this would be the best and easyies way.

There is 1 problem with this. If DICE had assigned, for example, the tier 1 unlocks to slot 6 and the tier 3 unlocks to slot 5, what happens when you want to use 2 tier 1 unlocks? Its annoying but they couldn't do it any other way.

No. Not the tier/class 1 unlock and the tier/class 3 unlock to a key each.
I did mean the two slots where you put your item to, durig a match. You have the spawn screen, and there you can modify your soldier. And to do this, you have two slots where you can put items to.

So your saying that the left slot should be slot 6 and the right slot should be slot 5? (or vice versa) I agree with that, but the weapons themselves cannot have a slot assigned to them.

Grenades at 7 is too far away from my left hand IMO.

1 = knife
2 = pistol
3 = main weapon
4 = ammo/medic/wrench etc.
5 = left unlock slot
6 = right unlock slot
7 = grenades
8 = squadleader unlocks

Yeah - I'll probably stick with that. Will probably swap the 4 and 7 on my keyboard though, as the resupplying option can wait longer for my finger to reach it than grenades button.

jedi edit mind trick: no fuck up occured here. move along please. I may actually know where the slots assign if I am ever allowed to get a promotion via EA.

Gotta agree. If I use a basic assault rifle and either attachment, my Defibrillator is slot 6. If I use the Voss/Baur/Smoke Grenade, the Defibrillator is slot 5. Confusing as hell.

I totally agree. i'm so used to the BF2 keybinds. I get frustrated when i try to whip out my rifle attachment and actually pull out my defib, then get shot in the face. I still can't get used to it.
Also, i hate switching my fire mode to single shot on accident.. silly me.

I've noticed this as well (with Assault). The keys for attachment/ defib switch when you change between basic and Baur rifles. And that is without altering the other slots on your customise screen.
That is a very illogical way for the game to be set up.

Just swap the controls around, if you dont like grenades at 7, set weapon slot 7 to something more desirable!

I know I am

I actually use the buttons on my G5 now. I have the thumb button as grenades, scroll wheel left as knife, scroll wheel right as pistol, scroll wheel click down is rifle.

I usually end up using the thumb button the most, I can hit 1,2,3 on my keyboard well enough.

Not quite true. Try using the Baur, AED-6 and PK-74 rocket launcher. Rocket will be on 6 and the AED on 5. Now swap the Baur for a Krylov or Scar, and the AED and PK74 will swap places.
