What a load of bollox, i tried the mouse turning once and didn't get on with it.
i use a razor copperhead mouse and a good keyboard set to high sensitivity and i can click with mouse and turn with keyboard a lot faster than mouse turning, thats my pref.
I lvl'd 1-70 that way with very little death.

You're awful at PvP.

I don't even have to see you play to know that.

I can level 1-70 with very little death by only using my left hand, not putting my rogue in stealth and having a flower in offhand. So that must be the best way of playing.

After my old thumb-button mouse died and suffering with the standard apple mouse for a few weeks, I upgraded to THIS and rebound my keys back to the way I had then before with all movement to the mouse, all abilities to keybinds (qwerty/asdfgh in my case). The difference is.... unspeakably awesomer.

I'd also add that after loading Bongos, I just changed a couple of macros to similar to this functionality:

/cast [stealth] Garrote; [nostealth] Sinister Strike

And popped it down into "S". Similar with Sap and Cheap Shot. The actual macros I use are more complicated, but you get the idea. These can also be bound to mouse buttons, etc... This avoided the need for Bongos to "swap" stance bars or anything and just made sense to me.... But, I'm not that smart really. ;P

Well, I'm certainly awful at PvP, however I've improved since practicing mouse turning and eliminating a lot of mouse clicking. I wonder if someone would help me with this: I tried to bind "move forward" to one of my mouse keys. Using the mouse software, I bound the key to w. The mouse key now enters w in chat, but does not move the character forward in the game. Hitting the w on the keyboard does move the character forward in the game. Is there any way I can bind a mouse key to move forward, or is there a macro I could use to accomplish this?

When you press two mouse buttons, your character will move forward.

I bound my thumb-wheel to up-arrow and down-arrow outside of the game. Then bound up arrow to "steer & move" (or similar). Works like a charm. You may need to reset your bindings to solve the chat thing... that's odd.
