ConGregation March 6, 2003 Share ConGregation Member March 6, 2003 So what do you use? I remember when optical first came out that all the gamers decried them cause you couldnt accurately make large movements. I personally have used optical for a couple of years now. Optical.

Mok March 6, 2003 Share Mok Member March 6, 2003 I've been using an optical mouse for the past few months, and quite frankly it disappoints me. The pointer gets very shaky (which doesn't help my CS aim ) and sometimes it aims at the ground or the sky and starts to rotate extremely fast. Ball > optical.

Playaa March 6, 2003 Share Playaa Member March 6, 2003 I must say the Microsoft Optical IntelliMouse Explorer is like THE BEST mouse I've EVER used for gaming (apart from a Belkin Gaming Ball Mouse that pwnt). Though recently I switched to the Logitech MX700....not liking it (cause I'm not used to it) it's very heavy and the optics won't make SMALL movements. Like I'll be zoomed in and make the TINIEST movement possible and go 2 head distances over (with my sensitivity at 2). But the M$ OpIntellExpo is AWESOME for gaming.

Chief March 6, 2003 Share Chief Member March 6, 2003 I've been using an optical mouse for the past few months, and quite frankly it disappoints me. The pointer gets very shaky (which doesn't help my CS aim ) and sometimes it aims at the ground or the sky and starts to rotate extremely fast. Ball > optical. Mine has taken to doing this in the past month or so. I haven't had it THAT long. I don't know if I should replace it or not, but I like my optical Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magruter March 6, 2003 Share Magruter Member March 6, 2003 opitical all the way, you can pick the up a microsoft optitcal for 20 if you don't like return it.

Are they worth it? let me know moss. I use MS optical mouse. Was thinking about switching to MX700 but I don't feel like deleting microsoft drivers cause it will just be a big pain in the..

Playaa March 6, 2003 Share Playaa Member March 6, 2003 I gotta be honest it has the best quality I've ever used. My Logitech MX700 doesn't catch small movements as well, is too heavy, the buttons won't bind (it recognizes the commands but doesn't do anything when I click them) so the M$ Intellimouse Optical is the BEST gaming mouse I've used........................I said this already didn't I? buy it I'm wishing I had bought this instead of my MX700...but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
