Well have you every tried out a track ball. I found it totaly useless
for playing a RTS let alone a FPS if you wanna try it out in there.


But then maybe you got a better feel with it then me and my
mouse. :D

I go Trackball all the way, I don?t know why most people who try to use my computer can't use my trackball at all (not even my brother who?s a computer engineer :? ). But I myself have found playing FPS's and RTS's far easier since I got this thing, it just feels a lot more natural to move around than a standard mouse, and suits my style of play and Choice of weaponry perfectly.

I had some friends who used trackballs, and were absolutely convinced that trackballs were superior. They pretty much abandoned that notion when they actually tried out the normal mouse for a bit.

I think mouse is better than track ball, but I guess what ever the person feels most at home with.

trackball is just fingers

mouse is wrist/arm and fingers = better control for FPS
