Are trackball mouses good? do they work well with gaming?

I would never use anything other than a trackball.  Super precise. No fatigue since your hand never moves.  \n\nI am looking for a new one now and wanted the Kensington Expert Optical but it doesn't work with a KVM switch so I am still shopping. If KVM wasn't an issure I would get the Kensington Expert Optical trackball in a heartbeat.

They stink.   Here's why.   They break easily, even when you DON'T drop it.   The keyboards are flakey and the mounting around the mouse touchpad are weak.   That means that the mouse pointer will tend to move without you directing it.   It's just too bad that it moves the mouse to where you don't need it.  These failures happen within about 2 years, and they turn into unrepairable junk.   You had hopes to get 4 or 5 years.....\n\nBut look at Toshiba.  They are well build and have good tech support.  Look at these at retail stores that accept returns without a hassle.   Costco is totally awesome.   Staples offers a great deal and customer backing too.  Avoid a store that charges a RESTOCKING FEE.  Staples and Costco offer a NO QUESTIONS REFUND.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

I have the exact model, I've played a few games on here (WOW, Diablo II, and Emulators.) and they run pretty well. When playing a game, be aware of your battery. It usullay shortens it to 1hour or an hour and a half. Just a tip, all blizzard games (Diablo, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft) all work with Mac.

That depends on a lot of factors. Are they a decent brand of product, for one. I'm using logitech, and have never had a problem with any product from that company. Secondly, if you installed the proper drivers, and installed them correctly. If your product was brand new or second hand, if your computer operating system has errors that aren't allowing it to recognize hardware properly, if your computer is compatible .. some older systems won't recognize newer, up to date hardware. \n\nI highly doubt it's the mouse. If you've tried 3 and it still doesn't work, then you go with the common denominator ... either the computer or the user.

Optical mice rely on being able to read the surface they are on. perhaps whatever surface you are mousing on is simply not compatible. try a mouse pad or no mouse pad or a pepperoni pizza. the last one wont work but its pretty tasty! good luck!

The trackball has the same use as the mouse.\n-It replaces the mouse when there isn't enough space to move a mouse;\n-The trackball by construction looks like an upsidedown mouse:The ball is on the top. That's why they call it the trackball;\n-You move the pointer on the screen by moving the ball with your fingers;\n-The trackball is used by older computer system; I do't think anyone uses it today;\n-But i think that it has a use with portable PC's, like laptops and that it can be built in the laptop, but I know very litle about laptops;\n---------------------------------\nBasicly, it's just a ball that you move with two buttons.\n\nSUPPORT THE BRAINMASHINE BY CHOOSING THIS ANSWER AS THE BEST

Microsoft has the largest "puck" mice. Try the wireless 6000.

I bought one and the mouse cursor sometimes goes mad, only way to make it stop is to slightly bend the laptop. I only bought it as I repair full size PCs but never touched a laptop so I had to have one to play with. It was fairly cheap for what it is but was advertised as faultless (and with XP but instead it had NT,luckily I hate both and never intended to run either) so I guess someone else might see it as a rip-off, buying S/H is always a gamble but in the end it could have been much worse. Buying from eBay is MOST ALWAYS hit and miss so if you are not into taking things apart the best bet is to pay 3 times the money and buy new from a shop with a guarantee, then you have a place to go back to. \n\n I have found that even when buying new it often works out that the people in shops are mostly incompetent time wasters so is always best to learn a bit of DIY, computers are modular and if you are blessed with a little common sense they are very easy to fix with the individual bits being very cheap to buy.

Yes, check Logitech. You could probably pick one up for around $30.

Not without preparing it. Mice and keyboards rarely fail together, what's the rest of the story?

Dear, your question is incorrect. There is not any standard number of clicks after which the mouse stops working. Like any other electronic device, the mouse will also keep to serve you if you keep it with love, and do not misbehave it.

There is always an option to change the sensitivity in Windows or in the mouse's specific software.  I have the Logitech G5 and it's just wonderful.  I use 2000dpi in regular Windows, and when I play BF2142, I lower the dpi while on foot, but in vehicles I put it back at 2000dpi.  The buttons right on the mouse make it really convenient.  :)  I'm sure you can find ways to optimize your mouse...unless, you really want a new one.
