A great free to play shooter is Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It runs on the Quake3 engine but offers all of the basic constructs of game play driven by mouse movement and it is playable on both the PC and Mac platforms. Another great resource is the positioning and movement video provided by Ciderhelm at Tankspot. You can do all of those tricks with a keyboard. Especially the jump turn. To put this into perspective I use combinations of strafes and turns to more accurately and efficiently play this game.
IF I do need to make a degree turn for some reason, most likely the fact that I failed positioning myself properly I have a mouse which I can grab in less than 0. The majority of mouse players first impression is that a keyboard turning will hold A or D to turn, by itself.
Combine strafes with these turns and see where it gets you, go on! If I know that I have to look out for things like that, then I get out of them promptly when they occur.
I do quite a fine job of living, thank you very much. Nothing in those fights requires me to turn on a dime. Mouselookers seem to be overestimating their abilities. Great write up and good solid advice. Though I have never been a keyboard turner. I can understand a see where they come from. Most of them this game is their first MMO, and heck their first video game.
With the ever increasing popularity of this game advice like this is needed more and more. Another tactic I use is the fact that when holding down the right mouse button, the A and S keys cause you to strafe instead of turn. I use this method a lot, and it allows for re-binding of the Q and E keys, if one desires, as mentioned above.
Given appropriate time to practice, a player can become adequately skilled in moving regardless of what method they use. The problem is, given the same amount of time to practice, and assuming the same general level of player skill, a person who uses their mouse to turn as oppose to the sluggishly slow keyboard buttons will generally be at a much greater advantage. The trick is just to sit on one cushion while giving you the whole other cushion as a mousepad.
Obviously this works best with infrared mouses, but even so, when using a laptop you should still turn with your mouse. Along with the mouse turning tips people should also learn not to back out of the fire using the S key.
You move much slower that way but I see people dying over and over again because they are trying to back out of something killing them and taking too long to do it. This also opens up multiple bindings. If you wish to go even further, you can also bind your S key to spells. Giving you a total of 12 new bindings to use for spells that were previously used to move your character.
I wonder how many people would have died durring frozen blows if all of the healers were spinning around instead of healing? One example would be City of Heroes, which is 1 year older. Another would be Guild Wars, likewise a year older. I use a G5 mouse. Most boss fights, and several trash fights, require extremely fast reaction times. Sarducci: That is precisely what I am meaning. Ulduar is quickly sifting out the players who have been playing well all along and the players that need help.
I wrote this quick guide as a way of helping some of my friends who I noticed were having movement issues, and in each case they were keyboard turning. Good article but I totally agree with Shionia. It is impossible to turn and target. As a hunter I never managed to make a jump shot. How ever strafing and looking sidewards is fine for kiting mobs.
And I am using a logitech G5 mouse without any weight. Any suggestions about camera angels? Or auto follow? Find me a way to mouse move AND target via mouseover, and you can have my house, my car, all my money, and my undying affection and complete obedience until the day I die or stop raiding. Good stuff! With that said, the impact varies depending on what raid role you play.

The "Windows" key or the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" combination are good choices that elicit a response from the computer regardless of what program is currently running.
Proceed to step two if the computer fails to respond. Listen to the computer's speaker during the reboot process. One of the tests performed during the boot operation is keyboard detection. When the BIOS cannot locate a functioning keyboard, it issues a series of beeps through the system speaker and stops the boot process.
