Ok
I use a rollerball or trackball what ever you wanna call it..But when I tell some one on the server this thier always like "what omg you need to get a real mouse!" so WTF whats the pros and cons??? Im really use to using mine but is thier a remote chance that a regular mouse could help my game play?? ( and yes I know I sux and nothing could really help. for any of the SMART @$$es that wanna post Evil or Very Mad

)

BTW when I say regular mouse I mean the laser mouse not the crappy ball ones Good Idea

I have a logitech optical trackball mouse, and I love it, that + 20 sensitivity = awesome scout pwning. The only thing that slows me down is the way I hold it, I'll run into my finger(I left click with my middle finger on my right hand, and move the ball with my thumb)

I have the crappy ball mouse, I tried laser but I had trouble snipeing people with it and those trackball mouses if I try to use them I would get owned every map

Im way to used to my logitech laser mouse. Even though its crapping out and pissing me off alot now i still love it.

WTF's the difference?

Is one the big ball on the top that you scoll with, and the other is the big crappy mouse on the bottem that you scroll with?

Laser is awesome.
Get the G7, it works fine as long as the receiver is near.

LOL! NO STAR, I KNOW THE DIFF!!!
Im saying that I have a track ball and everyone is always telling me I need to get a regular laser mouse..And I want to know what everyone else uses and why they think thiers is better,and over all what is the pro and cons of both Laughing

wireless mouses SUCK.
Laser mouses > the best ball mouses
fancy mouses = meh.

Wired Optical Mice

opticals rock. i bought my first about 4 months ago, trying to figure out how i lived with a ball.

I prefer wired optical for gaming. I use the Microsoft Intellimouse optical for gaming. I love the position of the buttons, more natural/intuitive and it's ambidextrous. I have a hard time manueving a trackball. Here's my mouse: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=004
easy, precise, and inexpensive

Yea Nuck i had one of those and used it for a while, but then I broke the buttons I used them so much. Very Happy

I used a trackball mouse once.........I have as much luck with those that I do with trackpads on laptops. My hands are too big for mice and keyboards, but i do like my logitech mx518. I had a mx510 before that, but I got mad, hulked up, and stomped the hell out of it.

I have a logitech optical wired mouse with all kinds of buttons on it, and yes demasu, i can also change sensitivity with it (to four different settings for different levels of scope)

It is really good Smile

Wahoo that would be the MX518. The same one I and Corran have. I belive Toughie was it to. It has the grey and black marble Pattern on it and it works really nice. Good Idea

I have a Logitech optical two buttom w/ scroll wheel. I can't imagine using a trackball or old ball mouse...cleaning gunk (skin oil and dirt) out of the ball's sensors is a pain in the arse.
