A mouse makes a difference..

I can't use a regular mouse for gaming, i have always used a trackball mouse for FPS games.
I have had 3 of these so far, i think the first one was bought back in 2002/3, then i bought another one in 2009 and the last one back in 2011 which i'm still using now.
Anyone used one of these?
Microsoft Trackball Explorer 1.0, i doubt i'll ever use another mouse as long as i can keep this or buy another one down the line.

Yeah it’s the only mouse I’ve ever used for gaming.

I can imagine it working for every game except FPS but no doubt you will now tell me you are some elite tier CS player
Haha i wish i was an elite player, I'm a good player but not at the elite level.I can imagine it working for every game except FPS but no doubt you will now tell me you are some elite tier CS player

I remember some amazing Quake 3 players using these early 00s. How I'll never know but their accuracy and prediction was insane. It's crazy finger tracking control.

I remember a company bring out a keyboard where every key was a small LCD screen. Can't remember who though, I always wanted one.

This has recently been a revelation for me. I used to think all gaming mice are essentially the same and I'd get the hang of it after some time. But my recent forays into CS have proved I couldn't be more wrong.
Size, shape and weight of the mouse are crucially important. This might not be too much of an issue in Windows desktop or in SP games, however, in CS amongst my mates I went from usually top to always bottom even after a week of playing.
Apart from tough luck, I suppose another reason could be that I changed the mouse from Logitech G102 to Asus Gladius II Core as the G102 started registering double-clicks on single clicks and also missing clicks. At the time I didn't realise that the Asus was a radically different mouse (ie. bigger size, dimensions and weight) than the G102 I was used to. But after a week of drubbing, now I know.
Found some great videos by rocketjumpninja on the subject. Now awaiting delivery of Razer Viper Mini whilst using broken G102 in CS and a cheapo in Windows desktop.
