Couldn't find anything specific on this topic. I was wondering if you could map keyboard commands to a gaming mouse or not. I was thinking of mapping the torso twist to some buttons on my Naga hex gaming mouse. Anyone got the nitty gritty on this?

Um... arms and torso twist are already mapped to mouse movement by default. The keyboard is for moving the mech.

And your gaming mouse should let you map any keys you want to the extra buttons. That's a mouse software thing, not a MWO thing.

When I was a kid, I used the keyboard... and in my offhand. The keyboard! We didn't have these new fangled gadgets!

BTW OP, CHECK THIS OUT mate. Lots of info on Mech commands.

If its just a matter immersion then I don't need it.

*mutters something about tape-drives taking 4hrs to load a game, only to fail because someone stepped too close*

I linked the torso twist to a throttle control system, along with a auto-centering switch. I even went so far as to link jump jet control to it as well.
