Once I got used to it, I can't stand to use a regular mouse anymore, moving that base around is annoying, and it bothers my arm (had a double compound fracture of my wrist a few years ago.) Once you've had track, you never go back. :D


Just wondered.
I just didn't like it. I couldn't control the pointer.

That, I like. It would be nice if I could buy it.

I would be easy to make, with a dime store kids ring and some epoxy.

Bondo?

Datalyss 03-30-2010 03:46 PM
Found the solution! It was in Windows all the time. I knew about MouseKeys, but never could figure out how to "right-click"..now I do. I turn off Numlock to activate MouseKeys, press "-" on the keypad, and press 5 for the right-click menu.

"Why not just use the context menu key , it does the same thing." you say? Well, that's true, but MouseKeys does a bit more, like accessing the menus for the apps. in your system tray.

Gawd, he's an ungrateful little shit with no social skills isn't he? Prize to the first person who finds the hidden thank you for all of the effort people have put in here.... oh wait, no prize needed. :rolleyes:

Well when we didn't help him, he yelled at us, so I made sure to help him this time.

squirell nutkin 03-30-2010 11:16 PM
No matter. Like a typical 12 year old, he'll blame us for ruining his life.

skysidhe 03-31-2010 12:15 AM
You did good helping him UT.

Dat you are a prime example of someone shooting with a blindfold on.

Out of all the people to try to be an assertive troll to you couldn't find a nicer person than Pete.


People try to help you say nada. People are jerks and you give them smiley faces. People are fun loving and you get your guts up and post the lame smiley.

I need that picard emoticon right about now.:facepalm:
