Trackball users?

Greflin · 08-02-2006, 04:30 PM

I was just wondering if anyone else used a trackball instead of a mouse? I am sure there aren't many others if any.

I have been useing this onehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826104156 for a long time, 6+ years and it works great, fast movement, much less desk space, and it's easier on my wrist. Not the exact same one, but they haven't changed it much.

Can't fathom how anyone can use a mouse..crazyness!

I use the wireless version of that mouse. When I surf the web on my tv from bed I use the trackball because I dont want to be moving my whole arm just my hand. I also have a wireless keyboard by my bed. For games, well maybe 2d space games, the trackball rules. You need to 180, spin the that MotherF#$&#$. THE BEST 2D space game SILENT DEATH

Glad to see I am not the only one lol. This mouse is all around great. I can get faster movement over all with it than a mouse, which makes loads of difference.

I wish they would update this model and put Back< and >Foward buttons on it. I need more buttons. I have used it for battlefield but I prefer my mouse. If I see you on the battlefield tonight we'll see who has more accurate movement

Don't have BF2, I play CSS. But if ya hop on there you should find me there tonight.

I use a logitech trackball also and the one thing I wish was they would put out a higher end model with some sensitivity settings.

Greflin · 08-02-2006, 05:53 PM

Cool, another trackball user. Yeah I would like 2 more buttons and some more settings.

**Rincewind** · 08-02-2006, 06:04 PM

Ahhh, all the trackball users live in Wichita!!

Get me a nuke, quick!

Greflin · 08-02-2006, 06:08 PM

hayes321 · 08-02-2006, 06:29 PM

There should be a Wichita get-together

And we could preform wedding ceremonies for you and your trackballs

Greflin · 08-03-2006, 01:52 AM

Ohh, so you make fun of a person loving their trackball by saying they should be married, yet you have a eulogy for your mouse? :P

I've got the wireless version too. I've had this version of trackball for awhile. Heck, even after my old one drowned in Katrina, first thing I bought after I got the new PC was a new trackball.

I can't really stand the non-thumb trackballs myself. I'm jsut so used to moving my thumb delicatly and slamming the buttons with my other fingers, it takes alot to adjust to other finger trackballs.

I used to use one, and it rocked on games like MechWarrior. I use a regular mouse now, though.

franko01 · 08-03-2006, 11:15 AM

I use a MS trackball, ball on top buttons on left and right, I too would like it to be
more sensitive, to the point where I'm thinking about a G7 laser mouse.

My only issue is the ball getting gungy and rough movement causing me
to lose out on those one on one draws in BF2 (at least that's what I tell
myself it was, couldn't possibly be me could it ?)

Any other BF2 people using trackballs ?
