Since I finally got rid of my "ball and chain", I can play shooters on my own computer, rather than having to rely on my friends. I've already ordered HL2 and Doom3, and have a few older titles to entertain me while I wait for them to arrive.

I loaded up Halo, to test the mouse's meddle against the many opticals I had used over the years. I noticed right off the bat that the mouse was destructively fast on the menu screen, and there was no real way to tame it. Changing the mouse speeds in the game or with Setpoint (handy MX 1000 software) seemed to only minimally adjust what was already an annoying problem. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

Also, and even more annoying, is the fact that I couldn't bloody program any buttons except "scroll up, scroll down, left click, right click" to perform any functions within the game. I want to tell myself that it's only because Halo's an older title. I'd like some confirmation on this.

Last of my problems is the "application switcher" button. While playing Halo, pressing it (whether on accident or purposefully) would, of course, window the game out and bring up the same menu accessed when using "alt + tab". As I said earlier, I couldn't program this button to perform another function within Halo. I could disable the feature entirely, but it would be annoying to have to toggle it back and forth every time I felt like playing a shooter (or even EQ, etc).

Other than that, I enjoy using my head or my arm as a mousepad.

Please delete this blasphemous post!

Hmmm, I haven't had an issue controlling mouse speed with the MX 1000. Remember there is also a mouse control panel that has a speed slider that is separate from the MX1000 software, you might try using that one to slow the mouse.

You can disable certain buttons like the application button in the mouse setup screen if you need to.

I don't have Halo installed to check this out (but played it without the problem you mentioned awhile ago) and I'm not old enough for the M rating yet on Doom 3.

If you thought you were some special and beautiful snowflake that just HAD to start a new post on a topic that is already being discussed on this forum in a thread not three posts down; I have news for you. You're wrong.

If there's already an existing post on a topic, just reply to it instead of starting a new thread.

Also, to save you a post: Yes, I am an asshole (when needed), and no I don't care if you think I'm mean. I hope this thread gets deleted or sent to the retard forum.

On a final note, Halo is a piece of shit.

I don't offend easily, so don't worry about assholing in my direction. I suppose I should have replied.

Oh well, this thread will fade to the back pages. Sending this to the retard forum would probably be boring.
