This guide is meant to aid people who use their keyboard arrow keys to turn in the game, since it has been noted all over the internet that mouse turning is more effective than using the keyboard, especially in PvP. It is also agreed by most long-term players that mouse turning is superior to keyboard turning in most fights in general. This guide is being written by someone who has only used the keyboard to turn, and has not ever played any First Person Shooter games. It is also written with the basic three button type mouse in mind, the type with two buttons and the center scroll wheel. Tips for using other types of mice will hopefully be included by players who have other types of mice.

Basics

  • Right mouse button
    • First of all, hold down your right mouse key, and brush the mouse to the right. This has the same effect of holding down your right arrow key, although it will change the camera angle as well if the mouse is moved up and down (which is normal for any human). If you brush the mouse to the left, it will have the effect of holding down the left arrow key.

  • Left mouse button
    • Do the same thing: hold the left mouse button down, and brush it left or right. This does not turn the character, but instead turns the camera angle you are viewing your character and her environment from.

  • Middle mouse button (scroll wheel)
    • This moves the character forward. Holding down both the right and left mouse buttons has the same effect, so if your mouse just has two buttons, you can hold them both down and the same time to move forward.
