You think you're good with a keyboard, eh? And it seems that you think
you can turn faster with a keyboard than a mouse? I'd like to see that
one. I increased my mouse sensitivity both in the DOOM Options and in my
mouse setup program so that I only have to move the mouse maybe two inches,
and I can do a full 360 degree turn. If I were to move the mouse from one
side of the mousepad to the other, I'd do at least 5-6 360's. With a few
minutes of practice, anyone can master this much sensitivity. It helps
tremendously in Deathmatch when you realize someone is nailing you from
behind. ZIP, BLAM! They're dead.
