[Discussion] Playing with a touchpad?
#1
It happens- sometimes a mouse isn't available, and you're stuck with a horrid device called a touchpad. It works fine for most things... but AC isn't most things. So, you just have to deal with sucking left and right, getting fragged without gaining frags. It's just torture, and as of now, that's the only way to go...

To go ahead and conclude with my question, does anyone in the community have any suggestions for making touchpad gameplay less of a pain? Any help would be appreciated :) The only thing I've found to help is to temporarily bind attack to Z, X, or C so I can shoot with my left thumb.

(Also, INB4 "Get a mouse" or any variant)

F1.
Yeah, the only real way to do it is to jack the sens to the max! so you do 180s by rolling your finger.

I happen to play with touchpad regularly, it all comes with practice... very, very large amounts of practice.

But binding is the quick and easy way.

I used to be only touch pad a loooonggg time ago. But that was when i played only TOSOK, and I used to use sensitivity around 25. but I was never any good in any other mode until I got a mouse

Acceleration for touchpads is good! Macbooks also have bigger touchpads.

hehe...I tried playing touchpad, IT WAS TORTURE! D:

I tried it when a certain player claimed that he has always played ac on a touchpad... *squints skeptically*

Neways, so you should raise the sensitivity eh? I'll give it a try :d

Lol, I started playing AC on a PC, and when I got my laptop, I didn't play AC for just that reason. I suck too much without a mouse, But I'll try a high sensitivity.

-Increase sensitivity
-Practice

That's basically it. From my experience, anyway.

And when my usb trackball (T_T) mouse is acting screwy, I tend to avoid playing so much cause the touchpad doesn't seem responsive enough.

Rofl, Fate. I play with a touchpad because I like a challenge.

If I become too hard-pressed to play well, I use a mouse, as I am better with one.

If that comment was directed at me :)

good thing bout trackpads (at least for macs idk about others) is that they dont get their scroll function fucked so often like on a mouse. I swear that my scrollball (? lol) get sticky or something and messes up for like a week every so often.

what did the script do?

it was /trackpad and it changed all my binds to trackpad friendly ones for shooting and stuff. increased my sens and actually had it lower my fov to 110.
