Yea I turn my 3 followers independent of the main. As far as peripherals go I use a Wolfking Warrior keyboard which imo is the best keyboard ever. If you look at a screenshot of it it has the , and . keys in a perfect location to use as turn keys for the alts ( which I do ). I also use the Razer Naga ( i have my instant and focus nuke on those side buttons as well as alt shit and ctrl among other things ) and then just a basic Saitek eclipse for typing.
