not much for standard gameplay, but if it were offering an alternate gameplay style or effect such as faster, more analogue targiting, then possible. I however don't see the need to use a mouse in for instance bog standard walking left/right movements. my response: Well, this is always completely a personal choice, but most people who grew up using a mouse, as I did, find the mouse more natural, smoother, and even quicker to use than a keyboard. The mouse also gives you more suddle control over movement, but of course if you aren't very good with handling a mouse in general it will over compensate for your drastic movements etc. There is an art to using a mouse, and it really shows in games like Rail Racer where you can really do more precise leans/turns when hitting the curves. Dark wrote: Maybe, however only if the 5 button mouse meant somethign important to the game as in the above answer. my response: Well, you can think of a five button or eight button mouse as another type of joystick. It simply gives you more buttons for firing, speaking status, etc. Basically, all the things a keyboard could do except in an alternative input device. Advantages/disadvantages would all depend on the type of game. In Mysteries of the Ancients there is really nothing special the mouse can do other than be a smaller more responsive input device. In something like Mysteries of the Sith it could have more specific/special use as a hand-held game controller for a light saber etc. Smile. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
