I have my clipboard up 99% of the time.  About the only time I hide it is when I'm landing.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

you said shooting with the clipboard up...that would mean fighting, not sight seeing...unless you have the clipboard really small, it's in the way of pretty much anything

give it a day or two, they will get the controls bugs figured out...probably has something to do with the new gv controls and new default settings

You can turn off mouse look on the clipboard. The mouse works the same as it did before. The only difference is you can't see the mouse pointer.

How does not seeing the mouse pointer make it impossible to fly with a mouse?

Not seeing the mouse pointer makes it impossible to use said pointer as a sight but you should still be able to fly.

Clicking shift m everytime isn't fun, also I would like to have like a sensitivity percentage for mouse control. Its very very sensitive, just my suggestion

You shouldn't have to hit shift m every time.  There is an option to disable that altogether, however it isn't working.  It's one of the bugs they are working on.

Also mouse sensitivity is supposed to be adjustable, but again I don't think it works correctly either yet, but it will.
