Another danger that I've noticed is that if you're not careful about moving the mouse vertically, you can somehow get into a situation where you hit the left button to shoot and find yourself out of the game. It's either that or I'm hitting the wheel on my mouse and it's doing something. I can't seem to disable the wheel. Either way, there are certainly some things like that to consider when deciding how to use the mouse if you're totally blind.
