Here's how to do it the right away. Question from bcpk @ http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/fu9pj/where_is_my_tf2_getting_its_cfg_from/

If you disable the steam cloud, do your stats still get saved? Steam had been laggy as hell last few weeks and my proc's running at 100% the entire time, which only makes sense if Steam is using my system as a cloud computing node for a third party client's work

@Gwenlaen Yes, the cloud is just for storing game saves and such for easier portability

I use a left and right handed config depending on whether or not I am trying to improve my ambidexterity. I made a nice applescript to allow me to switch configs with the click of a button. This was driving me nuts erasing my configs!!! Thanks for this tutorial!
