Play a less demanding single player game to get used to the mouse. I'm not sure how it handles mouse and keyboard, but I'm thinking something like Ratchet and Clank.
I'm actually trying an indie horror game called DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark because my controller won't work for some reason. I have been reccommended Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart before. Maybe it's a sign to play the game.
I would strongly recommend that a single player RPG would be the best. My first mouse and keyboard games were fallout New Vegas ultimate edition and fallout 3 of the year edition. I would recommend if you buy either of those. They are wonderful games and very easy to mod.
Playing a horror might not be the best to start with.
Edit: Third person view in some games might be really awkward with mouse and keyboard. Especially older games can be clunky af.
They're all great. If you can get your hands on the originals, they hold up well. But don't play the remake of 1 from a few years ago.
