I like close-up view too, even if it’s not optimal. I feel more immersed that way. Also playing GD with a controller is awesome but I currently don’t know how to use AHK with it.
To try fast camera rotation you can also download [Tool] GDAutocaster - autocasting, faster camera, hiding items on the ground and more!
and run in with just the following GDAutocaster.ini config
[camera]
angle=60
counter_clockwise=a
clockwise=d
rotation_key=k
delay=40
