J,K,L,I operate the movement of the camera while the numpad moves your character and zooms the camera in and out if that gives you full-keyboard users any idea of how awkward the use will be.
I use WASD to move the character and the mouse to rotate the camera. Works pretty much like any other MMO. My problem is that the camera won't auto-follow and face where you are heading. So I have to always be moving the camera to compensate.
The mouse delay and slow interface are my biggest issues with the game. You feel like you are fighting with the interface to play. It really takes you out of the game and gets annoying. If it's true this is the same menu system from alpha, I'm hoping there is a new one in internal testing that we'll see soon.
Outside of that and targeting thing and then hitting enter or opening the menu, I'm still trying to get my head around the crafting. I guess recipe books spoiled me as I have no idea what I can cook on my own without a guildleve (of which I failed so far - cooking).
It's so pretty, though. I should turn my setting down, but I like looking at it too much, even with low 20s FPS.
I had a Dodo follow me around yesterday. The mob AI is awesome. He was just checking me out. It wasn't aggro. He never attacked me. He was looking at me and following me around. It was great! I love to just explore the world!
