    Invert or Not Invert

    That's just a little poll to know if FPS (First-Person Shooter) players are playing with normal mouse or inverted mouse?

    Send you type of gaming

    Thanks

    I play normal. I think it's some sort of inbuilt thing like whether you're left- or right-handed. At my LAN parties there's a few of us who play on each setting, but we all use the same control settings in other games like Die By The Sword. Any geneticists out there who wanna go searching for the FPS gene?

    Inverted. If I push my mouse up the screen must go down. Perhaps because I'm a pilot (though I don't have a license yet)...

    The weird thing with me is that I started out inverted, then some how I switched over to normal. I was just playing a game on invert one day and everything seemed weird.

    Inverted all the wayyyyyyyyyyyy.. I think because the first game I played was Flight Sim 4 or something like that.. that runs over MS-DOS. Since then I play inverted...

    Not invert. Mouse move up, must look up. If a flight game and no joysttick for some unknown reason then definetly invert ON
