    yes? good.
    What do you think of this pistol ?

    It is extremely tempting. If it gets under USD 30, i will buy it at once.

    Meh, I'd rather have a decent mouse or something. You'll take so long to learn it's intricacies without any real advantage once you do.

    No way in hell. It's bulky, it lacks buttons/functions (such as a wheel) and you move the thing with your ARM and not your HAND. You can't 'twitch' with it because you would have to move your whole arm.

    I'll stick to my regular mouse thank you.

    It has a wheel.

    And why do you have to move your entire arm? You don't need to move your whole arm to 'twitch' a joystick and you hold that the same way.

    No. A joystick moves differently. You HOLD it the same but you don't tilt that gun-mouse. You push and pull it around. By using a joystick you just tilt it backwards and forwards - you can move it with your wrist. To move the gun-joystick you have to push it with your entire arm.

    No. I don't play FPS if this is what you're asking. For the few moments I do play, I tend to use the mouse and have no need for this gun you mention. Mouse works precise enough.

    Meh..gaming mice are much better. Especially the ones which are ergodynamically balanced/weighted. Much better than any gun.

    I'd stick to a good optical (wired) mouse.

    To answer the question in the topic, I haven't played and enjoyed an FPS in quite a while. The older ones were more enjoyable, I think. :)

    The most enjoyable recent FPS in my opinion was Joint Ops. Damn it's good.
