you should try searching for "convenient inventory" mod for minecraft. much easier than having a "turbo" button.Assassin Xaero said:
I got my corded lazor mouse by accidentally ordering the "deluxe" package deal on my msi laptop. I dont really care about my mice that much, i just want them to have buttons for my thumb, and to not fail.
Some random Microsoft wireless range. Does its job, I've never used an expensive gaming mouse so I can't really compare.
Logitech G500 for me.

Customizeable in every way that matters, runs very smooth, comfortable... I've had it for almost 2 years now, still no problems. I can see myself having this mouse until it dies, and that's still looking to be years and years and years away.

Up to recently only ye olde 2 dollar usb mouses.
It always amused me how a lot of fps players invested heavily in over the top mouses only to have me kick their ass anyway with my wallmart gear.
I got a pretty good one now though, it came with my new laptop for some reason. It has 2 extra buttons, settings can be changed on the fly, yadda yadda yadda.
So far the only useful purpose I found for the extra buttons is for zooming sniper rifles in left 4 dead. (Normally you press the scrollwheel for that but since scrolling changes weapons you often accidentaly change weapon.)

Razer DeathAdder, 3500dpi version. I like how it fits my hand, and the two side-buttons are useful to map 'push to talk' and either melee or a grenade to, depending on which options the game gives you and which is more useful/requires faster reactions.
Side-note;
'Standard' is a little ambiguous. Optical mice would probably be the standard nowadays, but is there a distinction between usual optical mice and more expensive mice that use an infrared laser or something? What about older mice that still use a ball that people might still use for some reason?

Basically this. I have all the sensitivity settings set as high as they'll go. But I'm used to it, so I have very good reactions when in a singleplayer game. Alas my internet rather ruins my advantage onlinev3nge said:
Using a razer wireless one. The battery however is so shockingly poor that it can't stand up to even one day of gaming, thus is permanently plugged in. So I've effectively paid more than double for a wireless mouse that I can't use wireless. Never buying a razer product again (except maybe the tron keyboard if it's ever released in the UK). My next mouse will probably be a logitech wireless one which takes 2 AAs. Currently using my wireless 360 controller for The Witcher 2 however....no mappable keys in that game is a real pain.
To trackball users, how does it work with FPSs in terms of accuracy, reaction time and so on?
And to whomever mentioned not needing a mouse pad for a trackball, there's never been a need for one for optical/laser mice either. The pad is only needed for the ball mice. Optical mice will work on practically any surface and at any angle, same as trackball.

I feel really boring as I've never purchased a RATT or anything special like that however much I've wanted one. My buddy and I got one another super-discounted battlefield 2142 (or whatever) specialized mice with weights in them along with a rather sturdy cord that was acceptably lengthy. I was lucky, but his was chewed on by his house's dog :S. Mine eventually pooped out too though.
Using a really old laser mouse and I don't have any problems with it.
I mean keyboard with macro just saves time but this feels like using the keyboard only to move or some basic keys.
Hmm I wanted to ask, don't you feel a lil bit OP using this mouse?><Keava said:

Standard wired optic mouse, 3 buttons (2+wheel). Don't like the idea of a wireless mouse crapping out on me (both the battery and interference, although I hear the latter is not much of an issue nowadays), can't say I've tried the trackball, but doesn't look appealing. I'd get a mouse with more buttons tbh (5), but just not something I feel like paying for at the moment and don't need it yet (might get it when SWTOR hits)
Clearly, I'm not hardcore enough to live on the edge like the Wirless crowd. I'm scared. Hold me.RYjet911 said:People like to live dangerously >CleverNickname said:
