Ball mice ...

**unrealrocks** · 22-12-2003, 12:34 AM

After playing with several ball and optical mice I prefer ball as there is a mechanical thing whereby there isn't any acelleration like with opticals!

ANYWAY ...

Apart from the hugely expensive Boomslang range (although very good), is there any other ball mice geared towards gaming as my ball mouse is packing up?

Which optical mice ?

Logi. and MS by anychance ? - did you disable acceleration in the drivers ?

Not really. I've got a BS2k1, and it's fantastic. Not that expensive either when all's considered.

yup, you get a free speedpad with em aswell
make sure you have mouseskatez and a ball from a normal cheap mouse as the balls in bs2k1's are rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe (cos there bumpy instead of smooth like they should be)

Ive tryed MS ones, Logitec, Chic, and some other cheap brands!

A M8s got the BS2001 and I loved it from the start, but I really can't justify £50 for a mouse ... are there any others a little cheaper?

my favourite ball mouse ever was the Belkin nostromo gaming mouse. it's only got 3 buttons but the third is on the side not on the wheel, and it's shape is so comfortable, it's also got force feedback if you like that type of thing and is nice to use. I found it far nicer to use than my old boomslang

they do take a while tolearn...tried on once....the ball was in a different position to the norm....further back if I recall.

But by all accounts, worthy of money.

However, as I'm not a Leet First Person shooter, I have to say...OPTICAL LOGITECH DUDE

love it

I love my Intellimouse, I've been using it for almost a year, I prefer it, rather than the ball mouse, becuase after a month or so the ball mouse would get very dirty inside, and would skip all over the place.

Yeah - after a few mins of getting used to the shape I really got into it ... I could feel my accuracy was better, although that could be as I'd just been playing with a wireless cheap mouse, lol!

Get urself a nice MS intellimouse...I'd never use anything other

I'm a smoker, so ball mice are a pain in the neck for me.

Had an intellmouse - now have an MX700 - both were fantastic mice, but if you want to get rid of the cord, MX700 is the way to go.
