Well my mouse is sluggish, even at high setting, If I set sensitivity
on my pc to full I get a bit more responce but not much.
I have a 50 buck logitech mouse with 8 buttons I will be getting for
christmas so we will see.

I would agree that a sighted gamer will be more prone to taking
risks and his decades of using a mouse should allow him to survive
situations that might otherwise make zombie chow out of many
others. With practice though, everyone else should be able to match
the same skill with the mouse and in fact many of you don't seem to
have any trouble using it any more at all!
Since your friend is able to play with the graphics enabled, it does
give him an advantage. When it comes to identifying the positions
of multiple zombies or pieces of loot, he will be able to separate
them with the greatest of ease. The same situation might be harder
with only audio because when bombarded by lots of sounds at once it
is harder to tell where each one is originating from.
There is a flip side to the coin though. Because I knew some people
would be helped by the game's graphics, I kept the game pretty
fairly zoomed in. This means your friend will have to rely on only
audio unless the enemies are within a certain range. That range is
only 20 by 20 tiles with himself at the center, meaning if a zombie
is 11 tiles east of him he can't see it. The same zombie would be
no trouble for the rest of the players but it is much harder for him
to pay attention to the sounds if he is relying heavily on his sight
to play. I find myself in that same situation haha.
