Man, I know this may be oversimplifying it but maybe you just have a mouse on the fritz? Got a spare one lying around to see if that one has the same problem?

No, that's a good baseline test...

Unfortunately I can't test right now, but will be able to later. I use a Razer Naga, and have been curious/worried if this lil' guy has been failing me.

Thanks!

Yeah sounds like your right clicker might be on the way out.

While on the mouse topic - do you have any recommendations of a solid mouse with a FEW extra buttons on the side...? This Naga has way too many, and I can't even reliably press any of these buttons with purpose~ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm a big Logitech fan myself. Think I posted it in another thread but I've been using my Logitech G5 for 10 years now. I like really heavy mice so I buy the ones with the little weight pack you can cram some extra grams into. I also hate wireless mice, and make sure to get laser over optical. After that it's just looks/feel really.

I have heard good things about Logitech - I think my attraction to reliability might have taken a front seat recently, as well...(no more flashy, light-up, dysfunctional pieces of...!)

Now this might get way off topic from where this started... but I started it...!

I also want to buy a laptop for EQ, so I can get away from sitting/confined at an uncomfortable desk. Trying to find a good deal, per the below, but none of those options include a solid-state which I think is imperative for PVP server, right? I don't want to be loading like a slug while nasty PKers beat me up. Thoughts?

I'd want to be spending hours on the couch with this laptop/EQ - but, then I'd also need to come up with an idea for a good way to use my mouse... Book/Pad is kinda ghetto. Thoughts on this as well?

Thanks!

You can easily add a SSD after the fact, often times at much cheaper prices than they charge you to preinstall. If the laptop has 2 drive bays you can toss in the SSD and use the existing standard drive for media storage and stuff that you don't need fast read/write speed for.

Pretty much any modern system is going to torch EQ, even the chipset graphics cards have more memory for textures and stuff than discrete high end cards did back in the early 2000s. In general though if you want to play other games look for some sort of discrete graphics.

If it's gonna be on your lap at all steer clear of any of the AMD mobile procs, things run hot as hell.

Oof, almost all of the machines I linked are equipped with an integrated graphics...

EXCEPT this Acer, but it doesn't pass your AMD test:

Also, that Acer has some weird touch screen feature and loaded with Win 8 x.x. Not interested! (side note: also, didn't see mention of any aux drive bays for an SSD - but I may be missing something)
