What kind of mouse do you have?

[t0rek]

Wired optical mouse, no real need to go wireless. Plus i dont fancy having to keep buying batteries

That's exactly what I think

What's the difference beteen an optical mouse and a laser mouse? I thought the optical uses a laser or something or maybe I'm getting confused with the red light underneath my mouse. Also can someone recomend me a good gaming mouse, preferably wired, for under $100?

Laser mouses are more accurate, and uses a laser to map the area it sits on to determine how far the mouse has moved. With an optical mouse its actually just a light. You can't even see the laser on a laser mouse.

So are laser mouses better for games like FPS?

Optical mice have a tendency to sometimes jump from point A to point B suddenly. If the mose has this behavior often, it's better to buy a new mouse.

Personally, I find that optical mice work with FPS games just fine.

Wow! Didn't know you could get one like that! FPS games must be a breeze using this thing! Here's a link!

Not really, trackballs take a lot of getting used to and I absolutely despised the one I owned.

I thought about buying one of those trackballs (is that what those ones are called that you don't move, but you just roll the ball around on top of it?) after meeting a Tauren Druid on WoW who was an amazing PvPer and swore by his.

But, alas, I use a Microsoft Optical Mouse. Got the thumb button mapped to "Show Desktop."

A basic wired Microsoft laser mouse with 2 buttons + the wheel thing in the middle. And I am perfectly happy with it.
