| Mouse scroll vs. keyboard
Since this is a good place to ask about CS tactics, I was playing a game of Half-Life 1 (I'll eventually turn myself in and play CS), and I was experimenting with changing guns with both the middle mouse scroll button and the number pad (The numbers above the keys, not on the right side). Does anyone have any opinions on which is better to use? It seems to me that I can change guns quicker by using the number keys, but I also have to look down at my keyboard frequently, whereas with the mouse scroll I can just do it with my eyes on the screen.
Tell me your thoughts.

| I use the keyboard to switch weapons and the mouse scroll to jump. | |

| Always the keyboard to switch. Mouse scrolling seems too inaccurate to me. | |

| I've always used the keyboard as well. Using the mouse scroll will sometimes get you killed on cheap mice, and is not accurate. It will also be quicker to use the keyboard as well.

The left mouse button doesn't always click, it sticks every once in a while, and the wheel doesn't always spin upward anymore. Oh, and the little stubs on the bottom of the mouse that elevate it a little to prevent it from riding on the laser eye? Those have been completely rubbed down from wear. | |
