Agreed, actually I think some game types such as Galaxy ranger with it's multiple shortcut keys would be made considderably harder by using a mouse.
With any new controller though, I think there's a need to get used to things, ------ having very much grown up in the joystick generation, I found switching to curser keys on the Pc required a bit of adaptation, particularly sinse in curser keys my hands are reversed (the right controlling movement rather than the left). but obviously I'm well used to it by now. with the mouse and it's analogue control though, there's even more to get used to than in switching from a joystick to keyboard. In the case of sited computer users though, I think there's a bit of a concept difference in using a mouse rather than a keyboard, sinse interacting with the screen using the pointer is more pensel-esque than using a keyboard, involving highlighting etc, and having to move items around the screen like pushing papers around a real desk top. i've sometimes had concept disagreements with sited computer users who identify things by screen location rather than by what they're called (yes, I know this is partly a screen reader thing as well). All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 4:13 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mouse games was Lack of posts > Hi Dark, > Yeah, for the blind gamer my feeling was it didn't feel natural. > Probably do to the lack of experience and exposure to the device.
