I also have a Razer Naga which I bought when they first came out in 2009 and it's always performed flawlessly, I've actually thought of buying a couple more just in case this one dies of old age since no other mouse offers the same versatility. Unfortunately I have a very limited space for a mouse pad which does at times cause problems but most of the time it's not an issue, I just have the sensitivity really high so I don't need to move it around a lot. If you are comfortable with a particular tool, you can do well with that tool all the time, and changing to a more modern tool actually leads to a decrease in your performance. There is another school of thought - your skill is a matter of what you are used to. But what if I had been using *his* equipment? What would my score have been like? I imagine it would have been better. I was just better at the game than he was, despite his new equipment. Sometimes it really is all about the skills of the user. He wanted to see what sort of equipment I was using, and I showed him - he was mad. I got paired up with a professor who had the latest stuff, and I was outshooting him pretty badly (I'm not even close to good at the game), and he was incredulous. I used range balls to play on the course. They come out with a new doo-dad ever six months, and golfers will spend thousands of dollars a year on new equipment in order to try and gain a few shots on their handicap.īack when I was in college, I bought a set of clubs from a thrift store (because college students got to play at the local course for $3/round). Equipment does make a difference, but HOW MUCH of a difference? And where is the line drawn? The golfing industry is the absolute pinnacle of equipment over skill. Sadly I'm not good because I don't have a $5000 gaming chair

A large mousing surface to minimize time spent in lift-off (Quesnel, I'm looking at you) and a mouse that will hopefully survive my gaming more than the 8 months my previous mouse did. It is obvious this game was designed for keyboard and mouse, and even though I would prefer to use stick, rudder and throttle inputs, I have trained myself to use the mouse and keyboard (like for any FPS game title, ever) for WoWP. And quickly switching in and out of that mode allows for better situational awareness. Anything where you want to use the range of the cannon to your advantage, the sniper mode is useful. It also helps with aircraft like the Me-410 and the Do-335. But first you have to actually put that 40mm lead on target! And in a high-deflection situation, the sniper button is required to land those shells. Like my newly-acquired Hurricane IID Ummm, those 40mm cannon hit like a ton of bricks, and can just erase LFs, put a giant hurt on GAA and cripple HFs. Especially nice for use with aircraft with a mix of cannon and machine guns. Moving the sniper key from being bound to the "F" key to that button on the mouse makes life a lot easier, and a big button right on the thumb is very nice, as it turns out. I was skeptical that the sniper button on the side would be useful. Unfortunately, Razer has a reputation for building a gaming mouse that has a lifespan measured in months. I also had a Razer mouse that would randomly cause my aircraft to pitch up or down violently with no input on my end. Because I was using a regularly-sized mouse pad. At home, I have a very small gaming surface.
