recondo Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Greetings, I was wondering if you all could recommend a good mouse with USB interface for use with this flight Sim? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galevsky06 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You will use your mouse for click-able cockpits only, and any std mouse is OK. You might focus on HOTAS instead :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recondo Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thank you. I guess I should have provided more info on my current rig. I have the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, and a Logitech Trackman (track ball) Marble Mouse. When Doing the P-51 cockpit tutorial I couldn't move the knobs when instructed, i.e. pull and turn knob to adjust clock. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I guess you noticed that you have to press left or right button while moving your mouse pointer (I don't know how it goes with a track-ball), so if you are still blocked, any standard mouse will do the job perfectly (let's say any 800dpi min. optical mouse) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Track-ball works great. Got 2 wireless. One on the right, and another (left handed) velcro'd to my collective base.

hansangb Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I was going to say. You just need a right and left mouse and the ability to scroll. You may want to give it another shot. Maybe you programmed your trackball to send a macro when you press the right button? hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburne Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have been using a Logitech G400 Optical Gaming Mouse for some time now, seems to do well for me. Simple but efficient.
