So, what kind of mouse is best to use?

Wolverine of Ambush! · « **Reply #1 on:** July 23, 2002, 04:50:19 PM »

Personally, I use an optical. When i switched from a ball mouse to an optical, WOW! However, I have used the Razer Boomslang Mouse. It has a ball but the control when sniping in UT was amazing...

But overall, i would say an optical mouse is the best until the issues with Razer are taken care of.

For once, I'm in total agreement with Wolverine.

I use and optical, but it has some quirks that I don't like. I'll be going along, and all of a sudden be looking at the sky or the ground usually at very inopportune times. Perhaps a better surface than I use would help. I think someday there will be something better than either or a combination mouse both optical and ball. I would love to try the boomslang, of course I'm a tight wad, so I'll have to either win one, or borrow one.

I have heard that the Intellimouse 3.0 is supposed to have fixed that problem. That was one reason that I was willing to switch to the Razer. Spade kept fraggin me when I space-watched in a corner. The jerk, how dare he!

Nope there is no fix or tweek you can do...

I sugest you get a 3.0 mouse i dont thing they have that prob ( Plus they are more accurate than the now outdated mouse your useing)

ok now that i have used my boomslang mouse for a while I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but, with an optical there is almost no maintance... SO...

i think the best usage of the mouses are. . .
For everyday = Optical
for Games = Ball (preferibly Boomslang)

As I remember, Spade has both hooked up, and uses the optical for everyday stuff, and the Razer for gaming.

I just wanted to add.. i was able to get my Razer 2000 to work again.. So i am learning to use it.. i always loved sniping with it.. YAHOOOOOOOEYYYY!

After I modded the Razer (with the gracious help of Boomslang), I found that the Razer works even better. BUT, you still have to clean it once in a while.

Wolverine of Ambush! · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2002, 03:54:46 PM »

I have to clean mine EVERY day! I can only use it on one of those foam mousepads, too. On my fUNC pad it gets stuck when i try to turn to the left..

Stop surfing the smut sites and I'll bet you only have to clean it once a week.
