I may be a lone wolf in regards to this but I'll voice it anyway. I have tremors and thus use a trackball in my gaming. Even though it sounds like that would be more difficult for someone with tremors, it actually is easier because there is less hand movement and the wrist gets to stabilize. A side benefit is less likelihood of developing carpal tunnel. I've done it this way for years and have had the same problem with it for years. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find where that darn cursor is every time that I have to move the cursor to the menu at the top or across the map. Can't that little cursor be made easier to find? You know, use fluorescent paint on it, or give it speech capability (Hey, Dumbie, I'm over here!), or the hex is shaded, or the cursor is hot pink, or something. |

Thanks, Smadge. Wish that I had posted this a few years ago. The size and color changes, etc only impacted off map cursors (the tool bar and the hex info area, etc) but I was able to set it so that the cursor blinks at me on map by pushing the ctrl button. That alone is a big help. I'm still trying to get it to sing Yankee Doodle Dandy. |
