I have big Irish hands, and I play Diablo 2. Those alone are devastating to a mouse.

I killed a mouse button once on Diablo.

And now that I think about it, I kinda unsoldered and soldered a new mouse button switch onto the 8 year old trackball. Maybe two of the four buttons now that I think about it.

Christ 3 months is a long time? I have had mine for 2.5 years now. But anyways, I also use a game pad thingy on the side, I forget who made mine, I think ideazon who knows... Bought it 2 years or so ago with my soundcard...

OMG 4-5 years!!! Then you haven't got BIG irish hands and quite obviously don't play Icompletelyblow 2. Hell you really need to read some of Morara's epic struggles with mice!

To us mere mortals they are peripherals, to him? Baby ant's under his Herculean "FUCKOFF"tm Boot.

Morara, we salute you

You still play EQ2, and you have the audacity to say something about Diablo 2?

At first, the tracking starts to fail from heavy use, evident in really precise movements where it feels like the cursor is stuck on an obstacle and won't zero in, and you have to smack the mouse against the desk to correct it.

After that, the left button will completely fail, making the mouse totally worthless.

As much as I hate the accuracy of mechanical mice, they were at least reliable on the tracking side, but still suffered from contact wear and corrosion on the buttons.

No to be honest I wasn't actually having a go at Diablo 2, having never played it. The thing was, I decided to go down the sarcastic route and thus for completeness altered the game in question's name also.

The point I was trying to make is that every time you post, you come across as a complete tosser. Anyway I've said my piece now.

Is that some weird eurotrash dialect?

If you mean english, then i guess the answer has to be. Yes.

Its odd as all the other Irish that I know/meet have no problems understanding the word. Very widely used tbh. Though maybe those big Irish hands of yours were grafted on at a later date?
