Is it possible to turn off the mouse look? I'd really like to keyboard turn on my laptop. Thanks!

Err... what do you mean?

He means so that he can look around using the keyboard instead of the mouse.

I'm not to sure how you would go about doing this but if you are using a Mouse Pad on a laptop I would suggest buying/using a normal plugin/wireless mouse. They can be picked up quite cheap near enough anywhere now.

I myself use a joystick that I have mapped different commands/spells to along side a wireless keyboard so I can lounge on my sofa and quest. I use a combo of that setup and my gamepad to play nearly every game I have.

You could find an app, or try http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/mousekeys.aspx (they probably apply to other versions), to set your keyboard up to control your mouse. Then in Oblivion, use those controls and the game will hopefully think you're mouse-looking.

It's not going to work great in-game though, however you do it. Either you'll turn so quickly that you can't see anything and have to move in weird circles to get exactly where you're going, or you'll turn so slowly that you're never facing your opponents in battle. If you just don't have a mouse, there are cheap ones; if you're just used to really old shooters, adapting will be worth it; and if you need to play one-handed, using your thumb on your laptop's touchpad is probably going to work better.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try using mouse keys. I do have a mouse I can use, but I couldn't get used to the feel of it on my laptop. I'm also accustomed to keyboard turning in another game.
