    I play all my games with trackpads but is there any tips for using TrackPads in FPS's? I play FPS with it and I don't suck but theres room for improvement

    its quite an achivement if you can play a fps with a touchpad and if you must, turn up the sensitivity so you can turn faster but for gods sake buy a 10 dollar usb mouse

    For 2 years, I played with the trackpad, and I was pretty good at playing FPSs with it, now I bought my first mouse, the G700. Man, it feels so...different.

    I wish they had put the track pad over to the right side more for this very reason. Since its off set to the left, my WASD hand and my track pad hand hit each other.

    Yeah someone just pointed out to me that the Razer Blade's pad is to the right. I don't think I can recall any other notebook that's done that, but it's actually a really smart idea.

    back on topic - playing games on a trackpad to me seems very very odd (particularly FPS), but more power to yah if you're getting good mileage out of it. I'd wear out the tips of my fingers doing that I'm certain.
