Its mainly a mouse for MMO games, but can be used for alot of other games. The sidewinder mouse I have atm I have binds on it as well which allow me to switch to my 2nd and melee weapon instead of clicking on the number pad is failing me now since ive had it for a long time and only has 2000 dpi. I wanted a new mouse and really liked this one and I can input alot more binds on those buttons than my sidewinder mouse. Binds which will probably allow me to disguise as different classes easier when playing spy or something, Ill mess with it and see what I like best about it.
Now that you mentioned the auto-reload....I seem to be staring at the animation more often. But it does look smexy when you're in the middle of an animation, then out of nowhere you just randy someone across the map ;3
Lastly, it's preference >.> everyone has their own unique style of playing ;O
it doesn't matter at all since in both tf2 and tfc you can cancel the instantly and fire with 1 click. but in most games that have a bit of realism to them you either have to wait for the animation to finish to use your gun or you lose ammo if you change a non empty clip.
but no that i think of it to be realistic it is possible to fire the round that is in the chamber while the clip is detached on a lot of different guns.
I hate having it on because if I need to jump behind cover after loosing a shot, I don't want to be slowed down by it rescoping. Also, it allows me to snipe that demo's head, and be able to get out of the way when I miss!
