Gaming: switching from trackball to regular

[unholy414]

I've been using a Logitech Trackman trackball mouse for years. They're awesome for websurfing and computer tasks but when it comes to high intensity gaming, I just fell like this thing is just a brick wall and It's just holding me back.

I'm on the edge of going back to regular mice. I'm about to buy a Logitech G5 and use that for gaming. I'm interested in seeing some stories from you guys who made the switch from trackball to regular or vice versa and if you've noticed any improvements.

Yup, not sure what the OP's issues are.

MX518 FTW! I personally think the mx518 is a considerably better mouse than the G7. Not sure about the G5.

MX518 is indeed nice.

If your mouse doesn't have buttons, you're missing out.
