AndyD Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Anyone use this mouse with current games?? Was just reading over at Tom's Hardware that the wheel on the mouse isn't ideal for gaming. What's your take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 It's the mouse with the wheel that tilts in 4 directions :) http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseand...ls.aspx?pid=002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxious Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 ive got one, basically you have to uninstall the mouse drivers (and therefore the horizontal scrolling) for the mouse wheel to work in games. micro$oft strikes again :p normal up/down scrolling still works tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted January 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2004 yeah the new one can go to the horizontal direction which is very bad in my opinion. and even more in games logitech mx700 is the way to go + the mouse is awsome in games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mipra Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 MX700 is gooddd....however, I still prefer a wired mouse for gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calisto Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Yeah i bought one of those Explorer 4.0 mice thinking it would be an improvement on the 3.0 which i've got, but i was wrong. The wheel doesn't have any grooves for scrolling up and down, and you really have to press down the middle button way more than the 3.0. Its a pity because it is actually more comfortable than the 3.0, if only they hadn't stuffed up the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxious Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 no grooves ?!?!!? press down HARDER ?!?!?! are you sure you got a 4.0 here :p my wheel is perfect and all the progamers ive got to try it say its a bit slower to scroll but alot more sensitive for zooming (in ghost recon etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
