Falaise Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Massively playing CM and being a wego follower, I spend a lot of time watching the actions at ground level, This practice requires a lot of mouse and I started to suffer from a tennis-elbow which required physiotherapist sessions !! The situation got worse at a point where I even asked myself the question: should I continue playing at CM? I tested an ergonomic mouse, a special mat, nothing helped. Then I had the idea of using a game controller I downloaded the free JoyToKey program, bought a game controller for pc and was able to indulge in my vice without suffering Even if you do not suffer from pathology, the paddle is particularly practical for "flying" over the battlefield. The advantage is that you can assign any key to your taste to the game controller and you can continue to use the keyboard and the mouse which remains necessary. paddle setting page Edited May 8, 2020 by Falaise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Sorry, but I have no idea, what a paddle is - if it is not a thing you use for propelling a canoe forward? A Google search tells that there was an Atari "paddle" back in the seventies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_(game_controller) I can´t imagine that you are talking about that? Edit: I think I may have figured it out. Is it a game controller for a Play Station? Edited May 8, 2020 by umlaut 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaise Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Il y a 16 minutes, le tréma a déclaré: Je pense que je l'ai peut-être compris. Est-ce un contrôleur de jeu pour une Play Station? oui, je modifie, merci tréma surprisingly in france we call controller: paddle I didn't even check the meaning in English Edited May 8, 2020 by Falaise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I use a so called Roller Mouse which is awesome once getting used to it. It centers in front of the keyboard so much less strain on shoulders, neck and elbow. They are vey expensive but worth every penny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Am surprised that this has been a problem. Have you tried mousepads with a gel wrist support? eg: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-WaveRest-Mouse-Black-F8E262-BLK/dp/B00000JRRD Also, set the mouse to highest sensitivity so that you do not have to move the mouse more than a few mm to get to where you need. I recommend Logitec G502 Proteus Spectrum as it's very accurate and am not moving it more than within a 1 inch circle to get the pointer anyplace it needs to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaise Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 yes i have a mousepads like that I wanted to use a Roller mouse or change the mouse setting but my wife didn't want it. the advantage of the controller is that during the cinematic you feel like flying a drone on the battlefield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Voice commands may help. You could program the heights, but not the camera pans. All orders can be given via voice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 imo, there shouldn't be frequent reason to move your wrist in any case if your mouse is sensitive enuff. Shouldn't have to move the mouse more than a a couple centimeters to get the pointed from the left to the right screen edges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
