You know what my mouse is white

The thing is is that depending on your OS mouse sensitivity and if you have mouse acceleration on or off, you can have a sensitivity of 2 on one copy of CS and 6.5 on another and it will both be the same speed. That's why I think this topic isn't that great. What would be better is if you like it fast or slow, acceleration on or off, optical or mouse, and the kind of mousepad you use.

I mean, they're only mice. A bit of plastic and silicon. If I remember correctly the better mice [edit: by better, I mean all those made by Logitech, MS and co., but not the cheapo ones which all good computer stores stock as an 'own brand'] are built to last up to 6 years, if not longer. All my MS mice (I have 3 or 4 IntelliMice back home for various PCs and purposes) are going to make that age easily at their current rate.

6 years of light office work, maybe. 4+ years of brutal abuse from gaming is impressive for any mouse, on any scale.

Well, thought that I would post my two-pennies worth

MOUSE: Razer Boomslang 2000

PAD: Razer 3M Mousing Surface - came with the mouse and is very very cool.

SETTINGS: I have found that I get better results if I DON'T use the Razer W2k driver under XP but actually go for the USB HID Compliant Mouse driver that XP Pro suggests you use instead.

I set my OS to a medium/high sensitivity. In game I have the sensitivity quite low as the default setting means that I just touch the mouse and I swivel 360. Takes a while to get used to, but with my DSL connection I can sometimes have a storming session without having to pick my mouse up like I used to i.e. not much wrist action *LOL*

I haven't read all the comments but - doesn't it depend on ur windows sensitivity aswel?! my windows sensitivity is just igh tof centre - in cs 7 is my running sensitivity and 3 is my sniping.

I have friend who run win sens on full (akk way to right) - there cs sensitivity is 3. Sorted

I need some help with my optical mouse

whenever i move left and right really fast the movement gets all jerky and moves in the oddest ways

i think its because my mouse can't process the data fast enough but im not sure

i appreciate any help on fixing this

mailbag topic: mailbag topic - so we can suggest the topic and vote on it instead of u fighting it out - CrazyNewbieGuy- :0



balls rule - if u dont have any-2 bad :) .........people change their sensitivity to snipe? waz the point by the time u change the sensitivity and get used to it ur pretty much dead - unless the other guy's a retard......

i put mine at 5-6, good 4 both sniping and turning quickly.

and i still use a ball mouse-its still good-try an optical mouse (microsoft)

its shit!!

[[SWE]Twiggy]

pumbaa... dont say like that.. you know it aint true.. optic is great..

i know for sure that about a million times you where playing a game

your mouse gets stuck and you cant move it to the left.... only right,

well.. that is gone with the wind is ya use optical mouses.. but different people have different taste..

i donno what wrong whit my mouse but i hate opticals, all the time i move fast my aim goes on walls or shoots one fire by himself hmmm my mouse is weird i rather get back to ball and i use a 9.5 sens. but it insane (when i'm in the middle of the fight my aim sudenly goes down on the ground or up )

oh and btw is a "a4 tech" mouse (whit a ball this mouse rox but optical sux )

what exactly is a functional mouse pad?

and how would it be functional? I've never seen or heard about this.

[rage_2k]

...I use a wheely mouse with a ball; I'd love to get one of those flashy optical mouse things but I just can't be bothered...too much effort...



...My mouse sensitivity is 7 or something and I still get headies (even in tha new CS where the USP is crap and n00bs think they r god coz they get 3 or 4 kills per round!)
