Do you use your scroll wheel in FPS's?

[StevenMara]

Do you guys use your scroll wheel or keys to change weapons with shooters? I always used scroll wheel, but I just got a mouse today that has a "smooth scroll wheel" so you can't feel the wheel click. It really doesn't work to well.

 

[suse920]

yes i do

 

[SVT Cobra]

not when there are delays...

I have all my keys for knife primeary secondary and nades right next to the arrow keys for quick switching

 

[edro]

si

 

[antyler]

I try to use it alot, its handy, but sometimes i get confused as to which way, Up or down, is which weapon.

 

[K0ldFuz1on]

Depends how many weapons I can hold, if I need to jump to a weapon many slots away, I usually just hit the button, to go from SMG to Pistol though, I use the wheel.

 

[Auryg]

I usually do for when i'm not in a battle.

yeah.
that's also why i didn't buy one of the newer microsoft mice, they've all gone smooth-wheel with no feedback

 

[ThisIsMatt]

HECK YEAH!

Mine works fine in CS:S... Newer games can handle the smooth wheel.

 

[mcvickj]

You bet. I don't think I could go back to a mouse with no scroll wheel.

This is the kind of thread that need a poll IMO

 

[imported_Kensai]

Yup.

 

[pbaker]

need poll

 

[sisq0kidd]

In CS I used it to buy primary and secondary bullets. It works well when you are in a rush to get out of spawn point.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Yes.

it does. but, for me, i like to feel the "clicks." with the smooth wheels i tend to over rotate whereas with the "click" feedback, i can for example scroll exactly 3 clicks and land on that weapon.

 

[Cheezeit]

I use it but am trying to convert to the numbers. It just sometimes kills me trying to switch weapons in a battle

 

[Icopoli]

Kind of. Logitech mx510 has the little buttons on either side of the wheel, I use those so I don't overscroll and pick the wrong thing.

Exactly what I think.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Anyone else think the MS 4.0 scroll wheel feels great when it's been broken in over a few months and spins freely?

 

[DaWhim]

scroll wheel to shoot for CS. when you carry the dual elite handgun, you can shoot like the m16

 

[Tiamat]

by accident and i then get pwned.

 

[illusion88]

Scroll wheel for me. I use numbers for the wepons that I like.

 

[Dead3ye]

Scroll
