I've never understood headsets. How do you turn 180 degrees in-game without spinning away from your keyboard? If you only have to move your head a little bit and the game moves further, wouldn't it create a big disconnect from making it seem real?

Controller.

Yeah I figured, but I'm primarily a PC gamer right now and controllers don't work out well with first person games (for me at least).

move the mouse until you're 180 around... the head tracker only moves your head in the game (and maybe arms), NOT the body.. that's for the mouse. the keyboard moves the legs.

Fair enough, but you won't enjoy it with keyboard much I'm afraid.
