Ok it wasn't the ball movement controls I didn't like it was the camera controls.
I'd treat it like a 3rd person combat camera with right mouse button allowing camera rotation and zoom in and out on the mouse wheel.
Maybe that is subjective but I think its better than Q E R etc keys, having to remember those keys for camera distracted me from the game.
