I use crosshairs, mouse targeting, it added digital mouse controls
(the ability to make the mouse movement do the same thing as a
keypress....such as using a medikit for example...it allows you to
detonate bombs while looking in a monitor, it allows you to back out
of a monitor without pusing escape or running thorough all the
screens.  (very useful in a dukematch).  The steroids hotkey does
work, and it lets you use the cheats if you have redefined your d or n
key.
