: [Audyssey] Mouse Support in Games
Hi Charles,
Well, first, some mouse basics. To begin with I think you are under
the false assumption you have to have a lot of space to move the mouse
around. In actuality your arm/wrist should remain stationary while you
use your wrist to move the mouse left, right
Hi Hayden,
Well you know that I am always working on some new game or new version of a game. I
just don't usually mention it. You know so as not to be a tease. grin
But some figure that talking about up and coming releases is a good form of
advertising right?

I have a standard 3 button ps2 mouse on both computers. Never use them. They

Hi,
Answers below each question for you Tom.
1. As a gamer how important is mouse support to you?
Keyboards feel clunky as input devices, so yup it's pretty important
if the game requires anything more than button pounding.
2. If supported would you consider purchasing a mouse with five or
more
Hi Dark,
I think we will have to just agree to disagree here. You either aren't
listening or I'm not communicating my point well enough, but you still
haven't understood what I was saying yesterday. So here goes again.

Hi,
Hmmm...Might be the controller. I haven't noticed any lag like that
myself. However, DirectInput 8 really isn't the best way to support
XBox 360 controllers anyway. Microsoft has a new API, XInput, that is
specialized for controllers like the XBox360 controllers, and I'm
debating on weather
Hi Dark,
Well, one thing I can say for sure is we aren't going to drop keyboard
support in favor of the mouse or joystick. Most VI gamers are heavy
keyboard users, and if I neglected to include good keyboard support I
can hear the complaining now.

i also think it's a console thing vs a pc thing, in the 2d freeware remakes

scrolling shooters of the R-type or centipeed variety that
Hi Dark,
The thing I like best about using the mouse to walk is that the faster you
move the mouse the faster you can walk.
Walking with the keyboard only gives you two speeds and you are stuck with
what the game developer thinks is full speed.

Hi Thomas,
these are really intresting questions and I think mouse support in games
is a good feature in general.
I myself have a laptop, which of corse has a trackpad. But I also have
an usb mouse which I'd rather use for gaming and already do, actually.
My mouse has two buttons and a

Hi Sarah,
Yes, most three button mice are like that. If you turn the scroll
wheel it acts as a z axis. If you Press the wheel down it sends a
mouse button clicked event to the application. Most of the time
clicking the wheel is the middle button or button 3.
Cheers!

Answer: If it provides better response than a keyboard, I'd give it a try.
As I currently don't use a mouse for gaming, I honestly don't know how
important it would be, due to a lack of experience.

This is my point. i'm afraid I don't see the need to have a mouse in a agme

I don't think it has anything to do with need. It probably doesn't

Hi everyone,
1. Not always that important, but, yes, like some others said, sometimes it
would be nice for certain types of actions (and not really relevant, but
along the lines of that one, I have a sort of gamepad/joystick that works
way better for me in racing games than keystrokes).
