If the ball is spun extremely fast does the cursor smoothly move from one side to the other or does it spaz out? I want to play Missile Command.

I have played some pretty frantic shooters, and had no issues with the tracking. Right now I have two monitors hooked up, and if I take it from the right side of the screen, then spin it top speed to the left, I can (barely) see the mouse moving across the screen. Obviously its moving faster than I can easily track, but I've done similar things in shooters and not seen any issues.

Cursor should move smoothly. There are settings to adjust sensitivity also. If you are taking about making it spin like a toy top... It will not happen, the ball is not that easy to free spin, I do not know how they hold back, but they do.

Hi: If the pointer doesn't move it's because the mouse has gone to sleep. If you click the left top button it should become active again. Anyway, that is how mine works. It took me a while to remember that. I would slide the mouse around and the pointer wouldn't move. Then I would remember to click the button and the pointer instantly became active. If what I suggested doesn't work, you will have to call the manufacturer. I haven't

I'm also having a problem with this. Been using a week. Been fairly happy with this mouse. UNTIL... I went to play a game. Cannot play this game with this mouse. There is a single click-button on the bottom of the mouse that controls left/right click. Mouse knows which side of mouse your pressing when the button is clicked. When you then press on the other side of mouse, the press is not detected since the button is already depressed. Too bad. Must return the mouse. FAIL!

Nope. The mouse wheel is quite stiff, in a solid feeling way. it does not spin freely.

I dont use it too often, but i wish you could adjust the speed of the cursor. It works well but i usually resort back to the computer mouse.

Hi Dave. I have been using a Logitech trackball slmost exclusively for the last 3 months. There is no difference between the ball on each side. Tne good news is it doessnt change any to ;use as a leftuy or rigghty. You can change any of the mouseclicks to do whatever you want. dell laptop helpful re m parkinsons disease

I would say the wheel requires a little more pressure than the left/right buttons. I use the wheel a lot, and when I was using this mouse it was fine for me.

No, it actually unwinds after being hit. So you are actually swinging at a moving ball which helps keep your eye on the ball and also your reflexes for making contact.

there's a button on the mouse near the wheel...if you push the button down, the mouse moves fluid, if you click the button so up, then it's chunck chunk chunk....ironically that works well for me b/c for some softwares i need chunky, and others i need fluid.

Hold down both mouse buttons to run and turn. If you play competitive pvp enough, you'll notice wasd doesn't cut it for turning quick enough.

Has anyone tried holding down the shift key when using scroll wheel? That works just fine scrolling left to right on my 2007 DotMouse. I would be curious to know results as I need to replace the DotMouse with something similar.

Hi, I didn't know the answer until you asked the question. LOL. So I tried it on a Word doc. The answer: it scrolled both left and right, as well. That's not really a motion in my repertoire, since I tend to use the zoom (cntrl + mouse wheel) for navigation. But now that I know, thanks to your question, I'll add that capability to my arsenal. Hope this helps.

i have windows 7 64 bit and i had issues with it. updated firware and all. Got the replacement and it did the same thing. Updated that firmware and same thing. The pointer just randomly moves on its own. It is an issue with this operating system you can google it. Tracking issue for mamba mouse. They say it could be from having stuff like hard drives running on the computer desk but not in my case just my keyboard and mouse and monitor.

Turn the knob to *lock* the ball head. Then turn it. It is designed to allow rotation while unlocked. Of course, be sure to turn it the right way, or you'll just make it tighter.

I have a new laptop and initially the controls were easy to use, now I'm having issues using the laptop "mouse" for something that is necessary to continue playing. It's very aggravating!

The mouse works well for me. The movement of the mouse is a function of hand pressure and the surface over which it slides. Maybe you need to get a new mouse pad? Amazon would be more than happy to sell you one with your order. (:-)

You can adjust the speed and frequency of the balls firing out. But when you set it up it doesn´t change itself during the play. Also the direction is still the same at this model.
