Do you use invert mouse?

Behemoth · 10-29-2004, 03:22 AM

Im just bored and curious who uses invert mouse and who doesn't. Some people I know never turn it on and it just baffles me how it can ever feel natural for it to not be on.

First thing I do in any game is click on invert mouse.

Screw Invert. Its a damn mouse not a joystick.

Maybe you were dropped on your head as a kid?

Sanchek · 10-29-2004, 03:51 AM

For the hell of it, I tried turning it on just now. It literally made me a little nauseous after a minute.

I have found immersion!!

Zeik-Retired · 10-29-2004, 04:02 AM

I actually use both.

Counterstrike = not inverted.

WoW = inverted.

/shrug?

Inverted, always. I invert in counter-strike and wow. First thing I do in options is enable invert.

I'm older fart than most of you pc-era kids. Back in the day of C64 teached you to be part of the joystick. Once you master joystick, you invert everything.

So simple. Kids dont invert, rest of us do.

i use it when i hold my mouse upside down

I used inverted joystick, anytime I played old space sims. Now I use keyboards for space sims though, since my joystick is 12 years old and the mouse doesn't feel the least bit like a joystick. For things I do use the mouse for, I never invert.

Sorran · 10-29-2004, 06:42 AM

Inverted always - I simply can't play effectively without it. I was very annoyed to find out Guild Wards doesn't currently have it as an option.

Cheers,

Sorran.

Arbuste · 10-29-2004, 07:14 AM

I used to, a long time ago. Not anymore. Don't fight the future.

Cybsled · 10-29-2004, 07:15 AM

I'm an old school gamer too, so I invert ;p

Thhin · 10-29-2004, 07:19 AM

I'm an old school gamer and I invert as well (and it's the first thing I change in options on most games). I"m wondering if any of the kids play the correct way

Personally, I invert the mouse only when its a plane, or other vehicle that would be inverted at the controls irl or space vehicle, etc.

Arbuste There are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified one than auto-erotic asphyxiation. Join Date: May 2002 Posts: 848 +2 Internets	I used to, a long time ago. Not anymore. Don't fight the future.
