Touch Pad Friendly Game.

Hello,

I'm away from home for the next two months with only a laptop and was trying to find a touch pad friendly mmo.

The thing is with using a touch pad I obviously can't move the cursor to fast.

Any suggestions you guys can make are more than welcome.

 

Thank you.

    I would say just buy any old cheap mouse for like $5 to use temporarily

    :p

    If not then maybe a game like dofus online, Atlantica online which are turn based.

    20 dollar usb laser mice are very effective as well, and since htey are laser now htey just need a surface like whatever your laptop is sitting on as long as its fairly smooth, no moving parts to gum up!  hehe

     

    no usb port?  does your laptop have bluetooth?  little pricier but again, you can always find a solution to not have to use touchpads!

     

    my laptop has a touchpad, im not sure its ever been touched, certainly not by me!

    I have a friend that plays FFXI exclusively with the keyboard. I think Guild Wars would also be an okay game to play with just a touchpad. I've played it a few times during class mostly just using a keyboard and it wasn't that bad.

    Neo, I have an optical mouse, but I find I need to use a mousepad on a good deal of tabletops. However I can use it just fine on the arm of my recliner or on my shorts or blanket. It's kind of weird, but I think it has to do with some surfaces possibly being too reflective.

    buy a random cheap optical mouse, you can probably find one for 5-10$... and you can play everything with it :P

    there are even those very small portable ones, while not exactly comfortable for prolonged use they take very little space

    they work by light from the mouse being reflected bacl to a sensor so it can't be to reflective.

     Yeah that's what I figured. Too reflective of a surface would just scatter the light. Sort of like how having a suspended precipitate will throw off the readings from a spectrometer.

    So I guess that is why my mouse cursor shakes about even when I am not touching it on my new desk. 

    I need a mouse pad..my FPS skills have gone down hill.
