What's your weapon of choice? Mouse,Trackball..keyboard?

from Sins Forums

I was wondering what my fellow gamers use to play Sins with. I use a G5 mouse and keyboard combo, but the long hours this game has me sucked in is killing my wrists. Anyone using a trackball w/ Sins or any other preferred preferals?

Try a vertical mouse like the evoluent vertical mouse or the new microsoft vertical mouse if your getting wrist pain. Not sure if they work though as I havnt tried one yet.

I like trackballs for games that don't require a lot of twitch input. I have mild repetitive stress issues, so I find myself playing more RTS games, and not so many FPS games these days.

Usually a combo of keyboard and mouse. Keyboard for control groups and moving the camera and a laser mouse for everything else.

I use almost pure laser mouse.

ya same here, I tried a Trackball but really was hard to use. Felt like i had better control with a mouse. The best idea though to lose the wrist pains would be to just take a brake every know and then and stretch.

Absolutely. It works flawlessly.

I play games so rarely that I never even bothered to buy any other peripherial crap.

X-718F + some standard KB and we're good. My wrists are too pr0 to take any casualties even if I devote a night for playing once a while.

hey I also have a trackball but I for some reason can not figure out how to zoom in and out with it anybody want to help me out and tell me how to do that? seeing as zooming in on a single planet and out to the whole galaxy is kind of a cooler part of the game...
