Hi Che, Well, the main reason I was using the left button to jump and the right to run was the fact that all the weapon keys are easily accessible from the left hand. This means you could use your right hand with the mouse exclusively for moving and your left to shoot, pick up items, and switch

Using the mouse in situations more appropriate (such as gestures/fighting/targeting etc) would make it seem like less of a chore to some. Showing gamers how awesome the mouse is would be better than cramming it in somewhere where it might not fit so well. I don't think it'd be such a good idea to

Hi Dark, Yeah, I see your point. You are aiming for speciality rather than generality. The only disagreement I have with that point is this. Currently there are a lot of gamers out there who are afraid to try the mouse, uncertain about using it as an input controller, and just hesitate to try i

Hi Dark, Well, the issue isn't about weather a certain game or type of game requires a mouse but the option or availability to use the mouse as a secondary input device. Take a game like Troopenum. It certainly does not need a mouse to play. Most would agree joystick and keyboard input is fine.

Hi James, I'm not sure how much general mouse experience you have had, but most mouse gamers, users, etc don't need a very large area to move the mouse in. They keep there wrist stationed on there desk and move the mouse to the left or right. If they reach the end of there mouse matt they pick

don't get me wrong, I do not mind if anyone will include mouse support as an option, but just would not want to see it as the only option to play a game. if people can choose then it is okay, as everyone can play according to their personal preference. regards chrissy - Original Message --

I'm actually curious to find out how Thomas implemented the mouse to control the character's running. Would I continuously have to move the mouse to the right? If so I don't think I'd have a large enough desk to avoid the need to pick it up occasionally. That'd obviously work better with a trackbal

Hey Che, Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the resistance is there just because it's a whole new device. There'll be less resistance to game pads because they've got more buttons and people can think of them subconsciously as funny shaped scaled down keyboards lol. "Ah but there's joysticks o
