Oh, yeah... they are great for FPS games. I could not imagine trying snipe with a mouse. Ugh.
And although $65 is a good deal I'd probably have to snag one locally in Canuckerstan because trying to get stuff from the US is just too messed up. Ends up costing more most of the time and a wicked pain.
My old creaker does alright and I have a spare base somewhere that I may be able to refurbish/raid for parts if it comes to that.
The scrollwheel thing is the real pisser though. Probably just corrosion so maybe some good contact cleaner will help. Can't be arsed though and don't want to ruin this one since it still mostly works.
