My laptop doesn't have areal mouse. As a gamer, I'd rathe rjust have keyboard controls. I personally think that as a gamer, and a developer, you'll be hard pressed to actually find people who actually enjoy the concept of using the mouse. I could be totally wrong however.

The mouse is used like an accelerator pedal, so you push up for more acceleration, pull back for less, and you shift with the left and right mouse buttons. The name of the game is Rail Racer, and as the name implies, you are racing along a single rail against your opponents on their own rails, kind of like a multi track roller coaster. To turn through track curves, you hold down the D key on your keyboard to deactivate your vertical stabilizers, so you can lean your racer with the mouse. The skill here comes in properly timing your lean so you enter the turn with the right amount of lean, and exit the turn as you straighten up, the better your timing, the higher your speed out of the turn. I bring up these examples of control to get players' feedback on using the mouse. What are your thoughts on using the mouse as a controller? Would you rather have keyboard control, or the option for keyboard control? Personally, I really like piloting the racer with the mouse, I feel like I am in more control of the vehicle, and it is therefore more fun. Anyhow, I need the communities opinion on this, so let me know what ya think, good, bad or indifferent. Also, to those that have offered their services as beta testers, I appreciate the offers, and will be getting back to you as I near beta stage.
