If he's lifting his mouse for a circle strafe... by Fussbett 11/04/2005, 9:06am PST
If he's lifting his mouse for a circle strafe, there's a good chance he leaves his FPSs with a low mouse sensitivity. Sensitivity isn't precision as you guessed out of the newbish blue, it's actually speed. By upping sensitivity you make small mouse motions go great distances.

Here's the biggest problem with deciding that you're going to use a trackball for all your FPSs: you get good at a trackball. What does that get you? Now you're tied to using a fucking trackball. That's a step below all those people who sit down at your computer and want to remap all the keys. "I can't work under these conditions where CTRL is the crouch key!" Me? I'm good with the fucking mouse -- it's like having a blood type of AB+ because I can use any computer in the world.

Having said all that, a trackball would be good in BF2 for the tank, for continuous turret motion.

                            The trackball would be about as precise, just more sensitive. NT by Creexul :( 11/04/2005, 5:27am PST NEW

                                Its true. Playing with a trackball has ruined me for regular (crappier) mice. NT by Mischief Mouser 11/04/2005, 9:32am PST NEW
                                So how many circles can you make without lifting? Is it less than "infinite"? NT by The Happiness Engine 11/04/2005, 9:59am PST NEW

                                You're right! by Kabuke 11/04/2005, 10:00am PST NEW
                                    Mouse sensitivity would make the trackball faster too. by Fussbett 11/04/2005, 12:30pm PST NEW
