Magic Mouse for Gaming

I've played WoW with a Magic Mouse before. Not a fan to use, so I would stick to a 2 button mouse. Also, I think it ate through batteries faster than normal, but I didn't use it enough to be sure.

 

Even if the right click does work, I have a feeling you will be very frustrated with it. My friend games with a magic mouse for TF2 and he has completely disabled right clicking since it's so hard to do out of reflex. He just uses shift+click to be right click, and I have to say it does have a negative impact on gaming performance.

If you're not that competitive though, and just plan on playing games like Minecraft or Diablo 3 single player, than a Magic Mouse should be fine.

One other thing I should not is that the scrolling is simply awful when it comes to games, it is way to sensitive and there's no way to change it. The clicky mouse wheel is way better for these kinds of things. It makes a huge difference in games like Crysis/Minecraft where scrolling is to change weapons/items.

 

buy a different mouse. magic mice arent good for much especially not games

 

I use the mouse for gaming and I also shift click for right clicking, it's a habit I've had for years, but lately I've moved mouse 2 to the tab key, which is what I like best. Some games already assign the tab key, so I'll move that to the ~ above it since I don't normally touch the console. The lack of good right clicking doesn't really affect me, but in Windows games the scrolling does annoy the dingo's biscuits out of me. One day I'll spend some money on a proper mouse, but for literally every other computer task the magic mouse is magical indeed, so it's not a massive priority.

 

Why not just grab a gaming nice? RAZR makes the Naga, which is perfect and made for MMO.

 

It's okay for D3, I used it but it's still wireless. It can lag from time to time and if you don't properly right click you can mess up. The naga is a good mouse for gaming and regular use.

 

Not just games.. This is the standard way the magic mouse functions. That is why it is not recommended for any serious usage. Games, or what ever else. The magic mouse is terrible.

Though some people find it usable for daily tasks. My brother uses his, but any time someone else uses his computer they give up in a pit of rage because the mouse sucks.

Sell the magic mouse, get something else. ANY thing else.
