Forum: Geek Forum Topic: Moving Mouses necessary? started by: Recoil Posted by Recoil on Mar. 11 2001,14:14
I admit, I'm not one for change when it comes to keyboards and mouses, but the plans for the mouses of tomorrow are flat out stupid. Making the mouse heavier when you drag a window? Having a propeller in the mouse spin when you shoot a chaingun in Half-life (okay, that might be cool)? But I think it would serve more of a distraction than a tool used to help capture the user into the game's world. Is anyone in agreenace with me on this? Or am I a flea on a soap box?(E-mail NextGen @ feedback@nextgenonline.com for more info on this mouse) ------------------ Posted by Sithiee on Mar. 11 2001,16:58
i dont know how they could make a mouse heavier....but the propellor thing sounds good in theory, i mean, isnt the whole point of a game to realistically portray something you couldnt do in real life? that would add a shitload to realism, if it was realistic..somethings are excessive, but you should give it a chance before you rule it out simply because it sounds bad...it was xerox that passed up the mouse in the first place, right?

actually xerox was created because kodak thought the photocopier was bs. thought xerox would know better.------------------ Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Mar. 11 2001,20:26
how 'bout those lame Logitech mice that "bump" when you roll over a button?I'm sorry, but if you need force feedback just to operate Windows, you should be shot. I'm sticking with my non-force-feedback Graphire pen & tablet... Posted by Blain on Mar. 11 2001,21:17
I don’t know about that propeller thing; it works pretty well in console controllers, but I don’t think I would want to have my mouse vibrate. When you are playing a game like half-life, or any other FPS, you need to make VERY precise movements. I, for one, wouldn’t want my mouse to be vibrating all over the place when I am trying to put that crosshair dead center on some fucknuggets forehead. And Damien is right, it would be kind of stupid for anything other then gaming. Posted by Dark Knight Bob on Mar. 11 2001,22:11
next thing you know they're gonna actually turn the mouse into an actual chaingun christ i think its all a biiiit of overkill somehow------------------ Posted by solid on Mar. 11 2001,23:54
Let em make it, but make em also create it so you can turn those features off.
