if you have a compaq Pc that came with a ball mouse, you might need to just upgrade the Compaq.

You should get a http://www.3dconnexion.com/.
I use something similar to this at work to design parts with CAD.

It has 6 degrees of rotational freedom, and 2 more if you include pressing and pulling (the model I use supports this).
They're a bit more pricey than a regular mouse, but I bet you could totally pwn in games with one of these.

Hmm, maybe Descent, not sure about most regular FPS though.

speaking of which, I was going to dig up my descent CDs.

That mouse looks weird.

well my parents got a wacom graphire 4x5 on sale. It's no good for gaming, but I guess it's decent for PS/Gimp

I like to game.

I got a new mouse purely because my old one was like spiraling the mouse around, and it was killing me in games.

o.o

i like the resistance! and cleaning it out is no big deal. its fine for gaming :thumbup:

They are horrible for gaming. I don't know how I used to stand it. Even top of the line ball mice can't compare with the cheapest optical ones. You have to leave the sensitivity really low for a ball mouse to have any real accuracy. I needs me twitch sensitivity!

and after a while they start getting less better accuracy and it jumps

spengo · « **Reply #25 on:** October 26, 2007, 01:00:00 pm »

nah, if you shell out at least $30 you're probably going to get a pretty decent mouse.

Liazon · « **Reply #26 on:** October 26, 2007, 02:48:00 pm »

i don't game, so that's no issue ^^

though I wish I had a mouse w/ no ball. It's smoother.

Netham45 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 26, 2007, 06:18:00 pm »

I game. Right now, I am on a touchpad because I got a new laptop. ^.^

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #28 on:** October 26, 2007, 08:12:00 pm »

I got a optical mouse for $14.99 once, and I saw some at $10. THey generally have something that breaks fast though

spengo · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2007, 05:46:00 am »

Actually I have a MS mouse that I got for $10 and it's been pretty good. It's rather inaccurate on weird surfaces but with a mousepad it's fine. If you jack the sensitivity to max in windows it makes it better too. For the price, MS mice are nice.
