What kind of mouse do you have?

[l33tace]

I dumped the rodent control years ago. I’ve been using the Kensington orbit for a long time now. I have one on my game rig and one for my laptop when I play games on it. It’s just an upside-down mouse that you control with your fingertips and not your hand/wrist/arm. It took some time to get accustomed to but it rang up my high scores.

Peace

I'm curious, hook me up with a link if you would.

if you have a sec check this out, I have been thinking about trying one of these for over a year, it just looks so weird.

Looks a little awkward to handle. 16 programmable while in motion would be a challenge I would think too. I’m skeptical but then again I would give it a try if I saw it hooked up at a computer store. I have a Gravis Xterminator that is programmable but it’s a two handed controller. I like it a lot but it won’t run mouse support. I’ve gotten to the point where I program the keyboard the same with all of my games that fit in the same action mode so I have less to think about. If you pick this up than give us a review.

Microsoft wireless/optical 5 button+scroll mouse

Note: that's for my dad's computer:

My laptop couldn't handle the mouse

I'm stuck with an old apple "puck" mouse, but only because I bought another hard drive instead of a Wacom Tablet...I used Wacom tablets for three weeks working at a graphics house and was sold on them in the first three days. Everything was SO much faster with them...I actually beat minesweeper on the top level! (it's a lot harder with a mouse, for me at least

Go Pen's!

(and go BSD)

At first I thought it was a RPG mouse with all the buttons but they claim its a FPS killer, who knows, maybe I'll ask Santa for one

I have also used a Razor Boomslang, while playing UT it elevated my game 2x but at $80 it was so fragile, if you looked at it wrong it would break....

How often did you need to clean the Boomslang? I wish the Orbit had a self cleaner, I clean it about every 20 hours to keep it rolling but it only takes 30 seconds to clean at least.

I'd clean it before I played in any matches or practices, if I was just hopping on and playing a quick game I wouldn't but I never wanted to be in a situation where it was sticking and I had to pause and clean it.  I like to munch when I play though so cleaning was a must   I'd still be using it if it wasn't so fragile of a mouse.

I use a Logitech trackman+ at home and love it. Once you get used to it, you'll find a mouse is cumbersome.

MS Trackball Explorer.

I did not like it at first but got used using it. Everytime you roll the trackball it lights up.
