I have bought a trackball mouse and the Tartarus V2 as a new means of input for my PC. I will update you all on my journey as it progresses hahahah.
I think I am also going to make my first alt account for this as I truly want to get used to, and good at, using these forms of controls.
If you are wondering why I am switching to these forms of input, I originally played on console majority of my life so using my thumbs for precise movements feels better (as for aiming I am not sure, might stick to my regular mouse for that if I don’t like it). In other games they require a bit more key inputs than OW2 does so being able to not have to multitask trying to move with 3 fingers whilst trying to use abilities that are elsewhere will come much more naturally to me I feel, since with the Tartarus I only need one form of input for movement which would be my thumb.
(The only reason I’m learning how to play with a trackball is out of spite tbh lol)

Yea I think making a new account in this instance is the only way. I won’t move to PC until my buddy does. PC is collecting dust right now.

Good luck! I’ve never used a trackball control for my games. Honestly, I hope it goes well for you mate. Good luck and good hunting.

Yeah, that’s why I do not play PC. It would be nice to just point and click. No idea how people struggle with that. It’s easy mode compared to console. That being said, it feels like you are operating a tank to move around with a keyboard. That is where the true skill on PC lies. It’s like a really bad fight stick…

Yeah. Imo the only good part of PC movement is AD/AD crouch spamming. It’s harder to do that on console depending on the game and how you hold your controller. And depending on the hero, the sheer quantity of abilities means that using them is going to be awkward thanks to how the buttons are normally mapped on the controller.
And from experience using a flight stick… Assuming that’s what you’re talking about - yeah. Its more like trying to use the rudders on an airplane effectively when you’ve never even driven a car, boat, or other vehicle before. The rudder pedals on an airplane are wayyyy too sensitive or control like a freaking air yacht.

I tried a trackball for gaming many years ago. It didn’t last long as it was an awful experience.
But good luck in your attempt. Maybe you will stick it out longer than I could.
