Haven't used a mouse that isn't optic in ages. In fact ive got five of em in a drawer. Sure is nice having a brother-in-law who is a bigwig at Samsung. So many free things. :groovy:

:) Gotta love the Logitech MX! Unfortunately, now that I own one, I refuse to use any other type of mouse. Once you reach the top of the mountain, the only way to change is to go down.

Anyway, I'm impressed with anyone who can use trackballs. I never liked them, but a friend uses one for his games and he has insane skills with it. His accuracy is dead-on, I could probably never do the same with a regular mouse (even my beloved MX).

Nah, quite the opposite... I am the same way, I exclusively use trackballs, now with optical trackballs it is even better. It took me upwards of a year to become ultimately proficient with a trackball, but now I see the incredible advantage in FPS games.

How many times have you had to pick your mouse up, has the optical portion "caught" a little while you were in the air? That does not happen with trackballs. Another big advantage is the ability to just flick the ball and raise your fingers a bit, and let it spin, then set back down when you do a 180, sounds complex, but that takes one major wrist flick and a lot of movement to do a perfect 180 nearly instantly with a mouse.

I have not been into competition-level FPS games since Quake3 first came out, but at the last competition I ever went to everyone was amazed that I used a trackball, and of course I was the only one that did. But I totally swept the competition without even a challange and won a brand new shiny Voodo 3 3500, the best video card at the time; I still use that in my DVR machine since it has a digital TV decoder in it.

I'm sure I would get schooled now thhough, I have not played any games other then flash games in close to a year :)

The trackballs actually sound like they would give you an edge in piloting reavers/mosquitoes. I would try one out, but I lack the patience and munnay.

[Rbstr]

The trackball is nice but i prefer my mouse, it just feels better

[mechaman]

I can't stand trackballs! and I don't like optical mouses cause they are to big.

[Majik]

I love my optical trackball. Had to start using one after all the long hours of computer games started wearing painfully on my wrist.

[Hamma]

Balled mouses suck.

[Rayder]

So you prefer those of the opposite gender Hamma?

[Rbstr]

I don't know about you but my MX500 is sexy
