BAD-ASS trackball...
RayB:
I have to agree with that Rebel Scum guy... I would NEVER go back to a ball-wheel mouse for use in every day Windows computing, Photoshopping, etc, etc. My optical mouse is so much better and maintenance free.
BUT...
I have recently gotten back into First-Person online shooters (Half-Life 2 death match in this case) and I really notice problems sometimes when I want to turn very very fast. The mouse seems to get confused sometimes.
armax:
The problem might be that you are slightly lifting the mouse on turns (it's a problem a friend of mine has on FPS games).
RayB:
Actually even in Windows, if I move the mouse left-right real fast, the mouse cursor goes nuts (kinda does a circle and then zooms to a corner of the screen).
Trimoor:
Are you using it on a reflective surface? Even varnished wood can really screw up the sensor.
RayB:
Mousepad.
It's a microsoft Intellieye 1.0. Maybe that's the problem. It was their first optical mouse.
