How do I get used to using a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller? (lemmy.world)

Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

I can definitely relate, similar experiences were my initial reason for getting a controller for myself. I ended up becoming a controller geek, though. Right now, I have a PS3 DualShock clone, a Logitech controller with DualShock ergonomics but Xbox face buttons, and then I have retro controllers for Sega Genesis and the SNES. Looking to expand beyond that eventually but virtually any game type works flawlessly with that setup haha
