Hurray, I just got a new mouse.
My old mouse was a 3-year old PS2 corded optical mouse by Logitech. I don't if it was the mouse or the PS2 Port. I read that PS2 Ports/Pins aren't built for unplugging/plugging in too much. And I have unplugged/plugged in NUMEROUS times. Which leads me to assume it was the PS2 port. The problem was (it only started ~4 days ago) it would freeze whenever it wanted and didn't come back for short instances, usually not more than 3-4 seconds. But, being an EdgeGamers member, it gave me trouble in all the First-Person Shooter games we play. If you played with me the last couple days you have heard me say "My mouse froze" when I died.
ANYWAYS - I live across the street from my local computer store, so I went over there for technical support. I gave them my problem and they let me borrow a Microsoft corded optical USB mouse. I played CS:S in a Deathmatch Pub to test and see if it acted like my mouse. It did NOT freeze at all! I walked back over the the computer store and told 'em that it worked perfectly and that I would like to purchase one. Unfortunately for me, it was $25. Fortunately for me, they had ones in the back that didn't have boxes, so it was only $15.
Now you won't hear me saying "My mouse froze" as an excuse for me dying. Which is a good and bad I guess.
PS: Why did they let me borrow a mouse without me giving them name/address/phone number? I purchased a router + 2 ethernet cords from them a few weeks ago.
