Title: optical Microsoft mouse
Post by: Wet_Chicken on 14 July 2002, 00:18

well, i'd never choose this (...) mouse but i can tell you that it sucks! when you're playing half-life it corrects itselves! so if you make a quick turn it won't do shit...

Is there a solution for this problem?! i can't find settings for it. or is it ready for throwing it out of the window?! (it already was just because there was microsoft written on it)

I'd say throw it out the window and then join The Cult of Bob (http://www.cultofbob.cjb.net)

the problem is, the mouse is not mine... but my mother's.
But when I play a Lan game, i just put my friends in front of the M$ computer with the stinkin mouse. And I will kick their asses with my own computer  :D

Hell yeah, Microsoft sells hardware that sucks hard. Maybe you can adjust your settings to shud down the game unfriendly "feature" of the crappy mouse, but I have little hope. You can always buy a cheap Mac mouse (

Anyway, re: the mouse, get a real mouse is my solution!

Hey mj ! Wasap ?

Wet_chicken is a friend of mine, he lives about a mile from my house and i often go networkin' with him, so i have used his freakin' mouse too.

It helps if you adjust the mouse sensitivity in the Control Panel, it won't correct itself then.

I had exactly the same when we went quakin', it was virtually impossible to make a really fast rocket jump !

You think you can kick my ass ?
Just wait ! I'll show ya, even with M$'s crappy products   :D  

I am eagered to hear YOUR language, cahult !
Mine is dutch too, so refalm:
* Laten we bob nog een keer van z'n stuk brengen !   :D  *

Calum, last time i was quakin' i got my ass kicked by a dude with a logitech optical mouse.
Aren't their REAL (like - good) optical mouses ?
'cuz I like the idea of no trackball. I always get dust in my mouse, and then my aim goes diddly squat.

Note to others: A thread concerning "That mouse" is in existence and currently hold 30 replies.  

It's here. (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=000039)

So although this thread has peetered out and you've probably noticed the original thread already, just remember to search the forum before making a new thread so that we dont have multiple threads concerning the same item.  It's easier this way.  :D

Mice are too small to satisfyingly crush when thrown out of a window. I suggest smashing them with a hammer. After all, I did that to an ancient ADB mouse awhile back.

if you can find a really old mouse it will be more reliable.  the one i have was manufactured in about 1997-8, and my backup is from the 386 days.  they see well enough (update rate) and if you take em apart and clean em every so often they are... just reliable.  the last mouse i bought lasted 4 months, so i went back to basics.

as for a keyboard, i must admit i favor the logitech cordless.

i would love to have on of those old ibm ultra clicky keyboards, although the one keyboard i have from AT&T is pretty sweet, it may just be me, or i got a special little kick when i used it on a FreeBSD system
