Gamers..

I used to, because I moved into FPS games from flight simulators. Then I didn't play anything for a while, and now both regular and inverted mice feel wrong. I dunno, either way feels like I should be doing the opposite.
 
yes! i look at it as flying for some reason, you push forward and you should look down, pull back look up
 
Always have, always will. Just seems natural to me. Never understood why games weren't default that way but I guess this poll is the answer ( 2 : 1 ratio ).
 
Nope. Strange thing though, for Flight Sims I must Invert, it just mucks me up playing the same way between FPS and Flight Sims for some reason.

This is what I was going to say. I am used to using the mouse as a flight stick in a flight simulator, so pushing it forward is supposed to make me dive. But in an FPS, no freaking way. I haven't played a flight sim in so long that I'm not sure if I would invert it now.

I remember that one game came out from Microsoft called Terminal Velocity. I had trouble with the axis on that game, but I no longer remember which way seemed natural to me. It was a space ship flying fps, basically. Oh, and what about Descent? Again, I remember being frustrated with the axis, but I can't remember what I ended up choosing.

Anymore I play way, way more FPS than anything else. I love AVP2, for example.
 
NEVER! Inverting the mouse in an FPS would be like inverting the mouse for normal mouse usage for me. For flight sims I can understand how it would help, but i don't really play flight sims. I almost always invert the joystick controls in console games though.
