Dirty Harry 0 Posted October 22, 2001 BOTH! Trackball (Logitech Marble FX) on PS/2 and MS optical Mouse on USB. Thats one great way to avoid decisions... H. Share this post Link to post
OLEerror 0 Posted October 22, 2001 It depends on the motherboard and the OS. On mine, under Windows 2000 my Intellimouse Optical worked better on ps/2. In Windows XP it performs excellently on USB. I'd say try each one and see what milage you get. Share this post Link to post

Sandaasu 0 Posted October 23, 2001 Intellimouse Optical plugged into USB. The movement is better than PS/2, though PS/2 is adjustable. Share this post Link to post

pbuckne 0 Posted October 26, 2001 For gaming I prefer a trackball, since lifting an optical off the mousepad can cause some interesting responses in the first person or realtime strategy environments... Share this post Link to post
pbuckne 0 Posted October 26, 2001 I've heard, incidentially, that the ifeel mouse is good for gaming, since it gives you that little bump feeling when you encounter a variation on the screen, such as an opponent in a first person shooter, is such the case? Share this post Link to post
Spuddeh 0 Posted October 27, 2001 indeed so, its a mild yet noticable sensation, although its non directional, it gives the impression of recoil and as though you're touching over bumps in windows, and even feeling the weight of a large folder (more files contained = more weight) i like it, but its a considerably heavier mouse than the standard mouseman optical Share this post Link to post
BenChase 0 Posted October 28, 2001 USB is the way to go....ps/2 is legacy and will soon go the way of the DODO. Share this post Link to post
