It's not widely-known but the entire Elder Scrolls series has had an online wiki since 1995 called UESP or Unofficial Elder Scrolls Page. It's technically unofficial but it has input and support from several members of Bethesda Softworks staff including lead game designer Todd Howard. It's a labor of love and the Skyrim area is a bit rough compared to the superb content of the Oblivion and Morrowind pages. (The Oblivion wiki is practically perfect.) Still it's my first resource ahead of the book even and it's improving daily.

Front page of the Skyrim wiki: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim

Game-controls: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Controls

I'm checking them out now.

The link given for uesp is a great resource.

When I first got Skyrim, getting the mouse to behave was almost a deal-breaker for me. It actually involved getting a better mouse AND editing .ini files. Big Bummer, but ultimately (patience is a virtue) worth it. Skyrim is great!

The default control layout appears to be set up for playing left-handed. That can be tricky to change if you want to play right-handed, but there are tutorials.

Just about anything involving the UI can be greatly improved with mods, provided you are on a PC.
