Is the magic mouse better than magic trackpad for gaming?

[archurban]

I tell you something. all apple mouse, keyboard are really sucks to play games whatsoever. that magic freaking mouse, pad? NO. grip is terrible, mouse is incredibly lower. when you even just use it for few hours, your hands will be painful. if you want to play games comfortably, buy logitech or Razor mouse. I recommend that product for 200%.

^ I agree on the mouse and disagree on the keyboard. I'm using their first gen aluminium keyboard (wired) and it's outstanding for games, the chiclet keys are really fast. Perfect partner for my Razer mouse.

Yeah, I love the aluminum keys, although it took some time to stop hammering keys
As for a gaming mouse, go with Logictech MX series, they are cheap and awesome!
I'm now on my fourth MX500 series mice. Had mx500, 510 and two 518s

I remember a friend of mine completed Return to Castle Wolfenstein using just the trackpad on his laptop I was impressed at the time - although I'd never have had the patience to cope without a mouse.

I still don't use a mouse in COD 4, just a trackpad and beat the game on regular and also hold my own online.... it does suck however.

Reminds me of a long long time ago when I tried playing Starcraft with the trackpad of my laptop. Let's just say I barely had a building up when 6 lings came ambling into my base...
