    How many use a gaming mouse?

    I used to think it was a stupid gimmick, not any more! I bought a Logitech laser mouse for gaming and my score is improved a lot, I still get pawned by better players, but I don't laugh at those who bought a gaming mouse as I have joined the ranks who bought yes, a gaming mouse.

      i got some Razor mouse thats black with some gay glowing blue emblem on it that fades on and off which is kind of neat but the thing i really like is the 2 buttons on the side that i've assigned for buttons 5 and 6. had to get used to it but its slightly faster and easier than pressing the 5 and 6 buttons on the keyboard.

      control wise..no i dont think some gaming mouse is any different than the laser mouse that comes with your computer i got some dealy that came with my Razor mouse where you can adjust the dpi setting but i just keep it at 450dpi all the time i dont think you can change it in game either.

        Oh, I have a Laser Mouse as well. But it's not specifically for gaming. Doing well with it though. :) I guess my mousepad is still downing my scores a little.

          i dont even have a mousepad i just have a tablecloth lol. maybe if the mouse pad has some crazy space age anti friction material on it i dont think its going to help.

          Do people actually use ball mouse's? this is a new idea to me i thought everyone used laser mice nowadays. eh whatever i got a ball mouse at this comp and i guess its not all that bad it shouldnt hurt you too much enless maybe you were blowing stuff up with gunship TV missles idk

            Logitech G-5 For the win

            Customizing the weight really helps, and the sensitivity on the fly is PRICELESS in game. I personally like a heavy mouse with high sensitivity... My G-5 Delivers No matter what you like in a mouse (sensitivity and weight-wise) the G-5 will suite you. I also has two thumb buttons (one for Vent, one for TS) which are useful as well.

                  I use a Logitech Mx518. Helped my score increase exponentially. It's comfortable, the side buttons can be programmed to suit your needs, and the instant adjustment of the scroll speed helps in turrets and vehicles.

                      I got the G5 too. When I upgraded from a nornal mouse, it made a huge difference!

                        i love the G5, it wasn't too much money, but well worth it. I am still tweaking it, but my body count is higher now. I can take out those annoying enemy solders that try to bother me while I capping a silo.

                          I got the g5 as well, and had problems trying to set up the software to match 42. So I disabled the software, and use it like a regular mouse and it works fine. The big part is the extra hot buttons, so that you aren't reaching up on the keyboard with two hands.

                            g5 here as well. i run all the heavy weights and love it. IMO this is the best mouse for the money.

                              i got a g9 the other month 3200dpi is fun at times took a while to get used to the cord as i previously had a g7 but yeah the 2 covers let you choose the shape you want weights are adjustable

                              the g9 also has a macro function for all the buttons kinda like the g15 im sure theres already someone with rdx rigged up to it
