There are two things here. The first one I found after playing COH: Opposing Fronts, and not being able to pan the camera around with WASD. After playing World in Conflict, I just really crave being able to have that exact same camera control in every RTS... Anyway, you can use the cursors, but they are a bit far over to the right for my liking, and the stupid game doesn't let you customise the keys.
So there is a little program that you can run in the background, and can hotkey almost anything. I simply made it so that when I pressed WASD, it corresponded with the UP, Down, Left, Right cursors etc..It works a treat! But it actually lets you do a lot more than that too. So I thought I would share, because its free, and it might be useful to someone out there:

Last thing is, I am thinking about buying an XBOX 360 controller for my PC, so I can get nice smooth analogue controls in various games. I'll get one soon, but in the meantime I found a little utility that seems to allow you to use the XBOX 360 controller in almost any game... whether it supports the controller or not. I'm not sure whether this would work with other controllers or not, but here it is anyway:
