lynchknot Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I use the MS trackball. I don't have to move anything but my thumb and fingers! I can kick back away from my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aem4162 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I use the Microsquish optical mouse and am very happy with it. I haven't used a trackball long enough to get used to it, though an engr I used to work with loved his Logitech trackball. I guess it depends on the person. :D:D:D:D:D:D anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroChaos Veteran Posted July 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2002 mouse for me. howabout who owns a stylus? i've always wanted one of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchknot Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 for games they do Yes, you are right. I had an optical - I returned it. I got tired of always having to adjust my arm and hand. I like to recline my chair and put the trackball in my lap - and with a slight movement of my thumb........i'm there. Call me lazy but, with a mouse, after several hrs., my shoulder would bug me.

Tribal Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Man i dont know what you people are talking about! Trackballs put you in a complete 360 environment, kicks ass for games and photoshop, thats all i need :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicfume Veteran Posted July 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2002 I use a mouse, but i think i'll blend in with using a trackball easily and quickly, since it sounds very comfortable to use, no hand movemen,t only thumb...i've tried it once before tho, not very bad, but i'd prefer a mouse.

Parasite Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 My friends been using a trackball mouse for years. He bought one because he liked the feel when playing stratigie games with it. But i think it sucks in FPS. Thats why he brings out his old mouse in FPS games. Personally i like to use my MS Explorer 3.0 I like its design and i have good control over the mouse buttons.

dacbo Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 personally i hate trackballs, they just dont give you the control or precision of a mouse. for me its like writing with my left (or in some cases right) hand btw get a logitech or ms mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manroweb Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I use a Logitech Optical Mouse I have used trackballs in the past, but for games a mouse is much better!! Just my 2 cents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demogorgon Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 mouse for me. Never could get the hang of trackballs. (except on the old centipede machines....LOL) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joswin Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I had a trackball for about 7 months, it took about a week but once i got used to it i could play CS with the best of em once again. The only problems i had (Microsoft Trackball Optical) was when you used 'small' movements it tended to jump/skip around (in windows and games) and also it didnt half give you thumb ache if you use the PC as much as me. :) In the end i switched back to a convential mouse (optical). Maybe its best to have both types? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektro Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I just got a Logitech Optical at this very moment over my old "ball" mouse....I love it.... its sooo smooth.... mmm.... edit:: btw, U know how when u click the middle mouse button down and that "Insta- scroll" turns on, where do u go to edit that "circle" cursor? is it possible? it looks terrible.... its all cruddy and needs cleaned up (atleast on my system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
