Playing Quake with a real mouse
- zandorg 17y agoI once borrowed a cool trackball from a friend, and I discovered that playing Doom with it was a cinch. I was whizzing around and blasting anything moving. It was incredible!
- tghw 17y agoI don't know why you're getting modded down. That was an awesome story! EDIT: Do I really have to put sarcasm tags in here?
- staunch 17y agoHopefully they can hook me up soon. I know my eyes and hands are a serious bottleneck on my sniping abilities. I would pay serious cash for a real way to play FPS games without using my keyboard and mouse. Even just replacing my mouse would be good enough.
- scott_s 17y agoI don't think you read the article. The mouse's brain was not controlling it's virtual navigation; that was controlled by how it moved on the ball. The brain comes into the discussion because they were able to see what parts were lighting up as a result of the navigation.
- philwelch 17y agoYou really think you'd be better if you were jogging around on a gigantic trackball holding a light gun? Actually, now that I mention it, that would be an awesome game.
- lallysingh 17y agoHmm, I'm imagining a clockwork-orange-esque scene where I'm strapped into a helmet wired to my brain, running on a giant white ball, screaming into a room projecting a scene all around me.
- GiraffeNecktie 17y agoFinally an opponent whose Quake skills are on a par with my own. All your cheese belong to us, my little rat-tailed friend!!
