I have a wireless ball mouse and havent really used it much. I dont like it for doing graphics so I continue using a laser mouse that came with the computer.
HAHAHAHA i feel your pain thats the main reason why i changed back to the ball mouse.AFlyingNun wrote:
I don't like laser mouses. If you ever see someone just randomly start spinning quickly in circles and looking straight up or down, guess what's causing it. XP

But much worse for your fingers. Make way for CTS!!! Seriously though, it's not good for you. Neither is normal mouse usage when you over do it, but it's less dangerous than use a trackball.GoalieLax wrote:

For people with laser mice; Try this at a LAN party; Play with your mice on glass tables. They fuck up at the worst times, it's sooo funny. At times you'll be face to face with your enemy but neither of you are turning becuase you can't lol.
the razer copperhead has 3 dpi setings 800, 1600, and 2000 2000dpi is awesome super responsive
id reccomend getting a hard gaming mousepad so that the teflon feet slide even better.

i just use a generic optical mouse. it suits me fine, aside from the occasional rapid spinning (which is not a problem, unless i am flying a jet ... JESUS)
a friend of mine ordered a logitech G5 from overseas a little while ago and was probably the first person in Australia to be using a G5, since they've only just arrived here recently. I personally don't see the point in spending that much money on a mouse, and I have never said to myself "damn, i wish i could increase the weight of my mouse by around 24 grams". He goes for all the pro stuff like that, including a Zboard and a $50 mousepad. I use my $15 mouse and 5 yr old Microsoft Natural keyboard (curvy and split, it rocks!) and im happy with it. It's all just about getting what you like, i suppose.
That said, anyone who goes with wireless.... WHY?
I have never been like "crap! my mouse cord is restricting me!"

I have a trakball and a regular mouse installed. I use the trakball for infantry fighting and the regular optical mouse is better for armor or vehicles where you need to quickly make large turns.

I use a Microsoft Trackball Optical or my Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman Trackball (depending if I'm using my desktop or my laptop) and love it. I just change the sensitivity for the Vehicles and the aircraft to get it to respond the way I'd like.
I am considering going back to a regular mouse since trackballs are aparently going obsolete and are getting harder to find a good one for gaming. I'm looking into the Logitech MX 518, G5, and G7 right now for a possible sub or replacement.

Logitech Optical MX510 I think. I also use an IceMat. Much better than a shitty ball mouse. My dad had the Logitech Laser Mouse with a SteelMat, but got a Razor and Icemat 2nd Edition (which is massive compared to mine) instead.
EDIT: If you get a GOOD optical mouse, you don't start spinning around.

I have DYNEX Wireless laser mouse. It serves me well.

Generic Logitech Dell Optical at 800 dpi. Works very well and I only got that circles thing only once in BF2 but never got it again when I got my 3M Imation Precision Mouse Surface that greatly helped the control and accuracy response to my mouse.
I just got a G5 for christmas! That thing rocks. It's tough to get used to on 2000, so I leave mine at 800 and kick it down to 400 for sniping. It's ridiculously ergonomic. I love mine, I would highly reccomend it to anyone.
i still use my mouse that came with the comp
I dont like the cordless stuff, u allways seem to run out of batteries when u wanna play a game and i got sick and tired of cleaning my ballmouse in the middle of a battle.
I ve got a cheap optical mouse with a wire and it works fine.

Sniping at 400 dpi? That makes your mouse slower and hard to aim at moving targets in your scope! How can you snipe well at 400?Capt_Flapjack wrote:
