I've been using Wily recently, and I keep instinctively
pressing the up key and lose my concentration when I 
find myself still on the same page but with a moved
cursor.

It's just different.  I'm not convinced one is better
than the other.  I do notice that when I try to use
the arrow keys to move the cursor, I get frustrated
with how much more time it seems to take than when
I use the mouse.

Give it a bit more time, you'll get used to (and
appreciate) both depending on your environment.
