Any kind of mouse works. But first you have to bind stuff. Like press esc., options, controls, click on look, move your mouse around, then click apply. Hope it helps.

For the last three years, I've just been using some generic Logitech wireless/optical rodent. It cost about 20 bucks, it has a scroll wheel, and it still works fine (even for gaming). Why upgrade?

I've been using a cheap and cheerful one of these(logitech ls1) for the past couple of months, and it's proving surprisingly good. good enough that i haven't bothered to start using my g5 again, but then i never did make full use of all those buttons.

On a related note, is anyone using a Bluetooth mouse with their computer's on-board transceiver? Since my laptop only has 2 USB ports (!!!), I'm trying to see if that would work.

Is that a high-end mouse? Just asking- my $20 Logitech mouse is 1000 DPI. (Yours definitely looks cooler, though.)

Relatively old now, and it's not high end really. Don't know if it ever was but it kinda was one of Razer's back end mice afaik. Has 800 or 1800 DPI for options. But I like it, it's proven to be pretty solid.

I used to use a Logitech Trackman Wheel trackball mouse. It was the mouse of choice for my entire computing life of 17 or so years. I finally got tired of buying a new one every year due to a design flaw in the left click switch caused it to stop working after about a year or two of heavy use.
(http://www.ergojournal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Logitech-trackball-ergonomic-mouse.png)

I then bought this, a Thermaltake E-Sports (traditional) laser mouse. Holy crap the learning curve was(and still is) steep when I switched away from the Logitech.
(https://www.pcdiy.com.au/images/12867_Thermaltake-eSports-Black.jpg)

Of course, soon after I bought my new mouse, Logitech comes out with a brand new version of the Trackman with the design flaw corrected...

You have to take into account the sensitivity set through your OS as well, so stating these numbers is really irrelevant.

Can you elaborate on this?

Post by: David on December 17, 2010, 03:54:53 pm
The difference between a trackball and a normal mouse is massive, so it's basically leaning to use a mouse from scratch.
Title: Re: What kind of mouse do u use to play trem.
Post by: Demolution on December 17, 2010, 04:04:00 pm
I guess I assumed that the difference in movement would be an insignificant problem seeing as how you still have the same basic key layout. I've used that very same trackball mouse before and didn't have too many problems going back and forth. Never tried extensive gaming that way though.

You all with gaming mouse/keyboard, can you explain, why, why is it good. Sure it looks cool, but why is it so great.  I see no point to have keyboard that tracks the key pressed in 0.0009 seconds, and normal keyboard in 0.009 seconds.

The Logitech was optical and had very low precision compared to a traditional laser mouse everyone else uses, but made up for this with MUCH finer control. Some movements people complain about being hard to execute were a piece of cake on my Trackman. Doing a 180 turn and aiming for the head was an absolute breeze.

The difference is that with the Trackman, movement is done via the thumb. With a traditional mouse, it's done with the wrist. Over the years I've gotten quite good at the former, but have had almost no experience with the latter(in gaming, anyway).

If you used a gaming mouse or keyboard, I think you'd understand.

For gaming mice, it's not about the input delay, it's tracking quality. With a gaming mouse, you can have a 360 in 5cm without losing the ability to track smoothly.
Using a non-gaming mouse requires you to either lower your sensitivity to the point where you can't check your angles or raise it to the point where you have to tripwire aim, which is slower than snap-track.
It also helps that I can shoot, jump, aim, heal, reload, secondary fire, and tertiary fire all with my mouse.

As for gaming keyboards, it's all about the anti-ghosting and the feedback. I have a G15, and the keypresses are solid. There's nice feedback, I know when each key is pressed, the keys don't giggle. It's overall a good typing experience.
As for the anti-ghosting aspect, I guess this is just more necessary for my control style, as it is rather odd. Before I got a gaming keyboard, I couldn't crouch-walk backwards and to the right while still holding shift to regain stamina. It sounds pretty specific, but it was annoying enough that I chose to use some disposable income on it.

I will admit, the gaming keyboard wasn't quite worth the cash, but the mouse is worth it all of the way.

I fail to see how a normal cheap 5€ mouse makes you unable to rotate 360 degrees quickly or check angles and so on. Don't really have a problem there.

And yes, I've tried them gaming mouses too.

I'd guess (seeing as how I have my free mouse that came with a computer that's about 15 years old now) that the high dps and low sens helps you track nicely.  My mouse's ball sometimes gets caught and my mouse jumps in screen, but that's nothing than a good cleaning will fix.  But I kinda have to agree that a nice gaming mouse is a bit overrated.

Ok, i've switched back to my g5(refurbed, not one to pay full price for silly gaming mice), and i have to admit, it's a lot nicer...

Haha, thanks.  I do need a new keyboard though.  My old one is starting to dye and type random letters, which is a pain when trying to talk to people.
Maybe you can sell it to a shirt factory for a decent amount. Or was that because of the "typing random letters" part?

I can't believe I did that.. Haha, no that was posted from my mac.  Hopefully I can buy a new keyboard with some Christmas money :D
