Why isn't this a thing? This would actually justify those

I am dissapoint, I thought these were air cushions for a hoverboard mouse that flies

someone should patent that idea

>Mouse balls
No, they went away for a reason.

>>377278278
Firstly what >>377279898 said. Also, you need a perfectly plain surface or otherwise you would feel any bump and if one ball is at a bump, at most 3 balls would touch the surface. If you use a soft mousepad, given the weight of your arm you might have more friction and initial friction than without these. Lastly, they increase weight which increases the initial potential needed to move the mouse at certain speed, and if you are interested in compatative fps you probably don't want that.

Shit, meant to quote >>377279807.

Because it became cheaper to make laser mice. Miceballs perform fine.

>four steel balls

they have mousepads with such low friction that you can blow of a puff of air out your mouth onto the mouse and it will skid off without any crazy amount of effort or hyperventilation

>>377278278
>>377278278

Terribly fucking idea when the mouse has so little friction it'll move without your deliberate input

A good quality mousepad and mouse are still the best we have

Just get a low dpi optical mouse from China and a fabric mousepad. Don't pay more than $20.

>>377278278
Cheap materials already exist that can be used to have a mouse with effectively no static friction with the mouse pad.

Why not just have a touchscreen and just touch where you want to shoot?

What is this space magic?

Mice don't need any more gimmicks they need better ergonomics and product design by people with actual taste, not tacky gaymer aesthetics we currently have to put up with.

>>377280928
so um im afraid to ask but here i go XD what is that?

Why don't we have rumble mice and rumble keyboards? I feel like that could be a pretty cool idea, and would give better feedback when playing games.

You could argue that having a vibrating mouse would screw with your aiming in an fps game, but if you use the HD rumble stuff like a smart phone or the Nintendo switch does I honestly think there wouldn't be a problem. I'm not thinking GameCube style rumble here.

Ungh, i used to get a strange satisfaction from scraping the gunk off the rollers. Sometimes id eat it

>>377280928
I used to remove the ball from my father's mice to play with it because it was heavy, and I would lose it from time to time and my father would beat me.

Fun times.

Ultimate gamer fuel, don't knock it till you've tried it Anon

>>377280928

Young ones dont know the frustration of your mouse clogging up with gunk. I found out the ball fits nice in your ass though, and when would get upset at my parents i would stick it up there and get it good and marinated then put it back in.

Good times

>>377280429
Surely the weight of the mouse is much greater than the potential friction

what about a levitating mouse with magnets?..

also, to do pixel perfect movements I don't use my wrist, I use my finger tips pushing against the pad

it would be shit
The friction you have on a good mouse with good mousepad is good as it is.
Anything more would be too much and make the movements not precise enough.

>>377278278
I can do pixel perfect movements with my mouse already. I did it jumping between the letters I just typed to check.

>>377279898
It's still a laser mouse.
The ball bearings are so the mouse doesn't get friction from your table or mousepad.

No, it's because dirt and glunk get stuck under the ball and get inside as you keep rolling it. Then it doesn't respond as well after a certain period of time.

i thought it was a homemade project by some pseudo-nostalgic hipster, trying to understand what were the mouse balls used for

>>377278278
>4 balls
>4 points of contact
watch this video and see that 3 points is the superior method of reducing friction.

I mean I used to scrape it too but I'd never eat that shit wtf

just use a touch pen on glass for he same effect
