looks good. Just grab a 5 button mouse for some seroius gaming and your set.

lol is there really a 5 button mouse or are you just being funny

...? I use a 5 button mouse, not sure how I'd play without it. Using it I generally playing ESF with one hand.

Left click, right click, jump, teleport, and recharge. It's basically all I need for melee.

 

[Scorcher2k]

5 button mice are the only way to go now adays. Too many things to bind in games like raven shield...

 

[VivaLaPineapple]

bind shift and q thats all ya need.

wasd = movement
mouse = aim
mouse1 = shoot
mouse 2 = secondary/switch weap(depending on game)
mouse 3 = crouch/jump
shift = hook
q = laser/random extra
space = jump
123456789 = weapon
e = use key
b = buy key

thats all ya need right there

 

[Optimus Prime]

Don't worry about the sound, I have a sound blaster extigy I can hook up to it

 

[Cookster]

Extigy is the external audio card right? Thats just as bad because it chews up CPU power as it is not internal - however, it is good sound.

But not as good as my Audigy Platinum Ex
