Third-person Shield "raised" animation while moving.

I have a crappy mouse. Sometimes the buttons don't click, sometimes they double click when I don't want them to, and sometimes they prematurely let go while I'm holding on either of them (so many whiffed arrows...).

 

Because of this, trying to do combat solely in 3rd person made me realize that the shield doesn't have a "raised" animation while moving. It only works while standing still, but looking around with your mouse while holding makes your character lose that "raised" pose anyways. I keep losing track of whether or not I'm actually blocking during combat because I also move when I block in attempts to strafing away from attacks. It's pretty annoying.

 

I haven't tried any mods that alters combat animations since I don't have a problem with vanilla, I just want a mod specifically for the shield animation.

Have you considered getting a new mouse? That might be a quicker solution and resolve problems you may have with other applications as well.

The mouse isn't the only problem, the animation itself is a problem because of inconsistent visual cues.

 

Edit: I can say this because I'm playing on a laptop, and I can easily reach the left/right click from the touchpad with my thumbs. Same results.
