Am now 30 and since I have been playing games on pc (and I go as far back as 486's) I have always inverted the Y-axis on the mouse.

Just over a month on consoles, and when I go back into an FPS game on PC I am all over the frigging place! turned off invert mouse, and its better, but my poor old brain still struggling to adapt - one minute it wants to move the mouse one way to look up, next the other way :D

For some reason, inverting the axis on xbox just didn't feel right so stuck with it, but its totally messed me up :)

Its amusing but annoying at the same time. I used to be pretty darn good at shooters in mp, but I'm like a friggin noob all over again :D

Anyone gone through this? How long is this going to take to get used to?

Thats pretty much it. Have always looked at it as tilting forward or backwards. It also used to fit with other things like space and flight sims... wonder if I will still be able to do those the "normal" way now? :)

But for some reason, the tilting concept didn't work for me on console and so stuck with up is up, down is down.

Think tomorrow am going to play COD4 for hours on pc without the inversion, until I get used to it :D
