    Vertical Mouse for Gaming?

    Anyone use a vertical mouse for gaming (example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...E16826141004)? Pros/Cons?

    I had a friend with one and wasn't able to mess around with it to much other than just basic mouse movement but it seemed like a comfortable design.

    That looks like it'd be similar trying to race a bus through city streets; big, clunky, and unwieldy

    I like how the description said something about "no forearm twisting"... I think that using a regular mouse involves no forearm twisting.

    If the design is comfortable and you can easily move and hit buttons, go for it.

    To me vertical mice feel to much like i'm trying to herd my mouse around instead of guiding it.

    I've never tried a vertical mouse, but wow, they look clumsy.

    I'm not so sure... racing a bus down city streets in GTA is all that, but fun as hell. That mouse does not look fun to use.

    that looks like it would take more effort keeping ure fingers airborne than just using a normal mouse : \
