xbrianx Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 A lot of people say that an optical mouse is better for gaming than a wireless mouse, mainly because it takes sometime to get used to the wireless feeling. I search on NewEgg for some cheap but DECENT mouses( I never figured this out: is it mouses or mice when dealing with the "non-alive" computer accessory? ) Anyways, I found a lot of them with a lot of buttons, one had 8!! This one, which is only 10 dollars seems to be just right for me; black, decent sized, not a lot of buttons, etc. Do you guys think this will be a good gaming mouse? I play Halo online, and right now with my ball mouse I use 10 sensitivity(the highest) and I'm sure I'll use the same sensitivity with the optical mouse, but this ball mouse requires a lot of work to turn around. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826105026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 3, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2007 Any decent optical mouse will do. I actually think MS makes some of the most comfortable ones. I wouldn't by one with buttons everywhere. Just more hassle clicking what you want. Wireless mice are good but if you can use a wired one without problems I would(plenty of cord slack ect). Mainly because changing the batteries is a hassle when I'm in the middle of something.(but if you do go wireless get rechargeable batteries. You wont regret it.)

Moderators Andavari Posted May 3, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2007 Try this! ---- I wouldn't recommend getting a wireless mouse because if it's anything like my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer you'll be popping in new batteries every month or two, however I do like what Microsoft designs in their IntelliMouse Explorer line as the ergonomics just seem to fit the hand perfectly.

xbrianx Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 rridgely: Thanks. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get that one then. Andavari: lmao, thats wireless. I can't be playing Halo and have to change batteries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnGrA Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Well i have a wireless Microsoft mouse which i find to be very good. However i use re-chargeable batters with it which is a major hassle. I think that i heard some where that the response time is better on a wired mouse than a wireless or something like that as i cant rely remember.

xbrianx Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna stick with the simple, optical mouse with a cord. But, NewEgg required some number my mom's credit card didn't have....I had to find the mouse somewhere else. I found another Microsoft mouse with a cord, but everyone is saying: "it's the best mouse!" or "my pointer sometimes jumps to the top left of the screen and the cord is too stiff". I don't want that if I'm playing Halo. So, I found this one on CompUSA, which I may be able to pick up in the store. It's not Microsoft, but still seems good by the ratings. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_in...ype=rv#moreinfo What do you guys think?

Moderators Andavari Posted May 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2007 Logitech uses BackWeb as their updater though, and that's the sole reason I bought a Microsoft branded mouse and keyboard - no questionable software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2007 You don't have to install their junk software unless you have extra configurable buttons though. It is pretty rediculous that if you look at a hjt log from someone who uses their mouse/keyboard combo thing you will see like 30 entries for backweb.
