I do hope there were no costumes involved

Hi

Before spending a fortune it's worth noting that the minimum you need is a bog-standard 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel. That's what the Muvizu Team uses. We're too cheap to buy anything fancier.

My mouse has 5 buttons and a scroll wheel. I guess you got the short straw Barry? I use a basic 3 button mouse with scroll wheel at home though.

The mouse I showed a picture of is a hardcore gamer mouse. You bind a command to a thumb button and push button to get the action.

'druidy'.) Stick Out Tongue

Hahahahaha! Oh god, here we go. Now everyone will see exactly how nerdy I am.

Isn't that what they use to fly the new Airbus? Wow, it would take me a few months just to figure out where the hell all the buttons were on it. My "old school" 3 button mouse works great for me at the moment. Toast

I picked up the mouse I use at home for £14.99. Came with a keyboard and both are wireless. A piece of advice if you're thinking of buying a wireless keyboard/mouse would be to not bother. They chew through battery very quickly and, even though there's less cabling to get in the way, there can be a fairly noticeable amount of lag between the movement of your hand and the movement of the pointer.

That being said this probably won't be an issue in Muvizu since it's not realllllly about quick movement.

And now, because I can, I'm going to put in a picture of a mouse with 19 buttons on it.

I'll possibly go for a new four button wired mouse that's comfortable to use. I presume that the extra buttons can be set up for keyboard shotrcuts.
All good fun.

Speak for yourself, I'm using my old Logitech MX518 that I've brought in from home 'cos those cheap 3-button mice suck. :p

But to back Barry up, it doesn't really offer anything new or exciting as a Muvizu user, I simply use it because it's more comfortable for me. I've always been a gamer and I find the high-resolution gaming features of gaming mice to have no benefit except in very fast action first-person shooters.

Btw, if anyone's interested, I use a Naga mouse and N52TE at home. Definitely recommended for gaming, especially MMOs.]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 11:43:38 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1099-muvizu-and-mice.aspx Message from Marco_D
Welcome to Muvizu

I would also avoid top gaming mouses, that claim having a faster response to your "clicks".
A few milliseconds won't make a difference, since we "still" don't have head-shots in Muvizu

Cheers,

I'll have a look locally and see what mice they have in stock, to get an idea of their sizes. Don't want a small 'fiddly one' though.
Thanks for the interest.

I've updated and upgraded most items that my motherboard will accept to meet just about the minimum requirements for running Muvizu. I had a thought today, what about my mouse, that's an old Microsoft 1000! The gaming community do use weird and wonderfull extras and special mice are available for high-speed games. Does anyone have any practical knowledge or advice about using one of these 'high end' mice with Muvizu, or does it really make any difference.
Almost there.
