The setup still isn't perfect, but the experience is quite a bit better than my first outing. The mouse does not automatically analyze and then compensate for recoil, as I had initially thought.Īfter about 30 minutes of making fine adjustments, I did actually manage to get everything working pretty smoothly. Apparently, you have to manually create, manage, and adjust settings for individual games and guns. There, I saw a bunch of individual profiles for a variety of guns. I reopened the software and found an extra settings tab called “Gun Adjustment,” which I hadn't noticed before. Apparently, the modes and features passed off as advanced and context-sensitive were largely a farce. I clicked to open my text editor and was greeted by three fresh windows. An hour or two later, I closed the game and got to work writing this post. I tried out some of the other “gun adjustment” modes, and they seemed to work as advertised, creating a burst fire mode on guns that didn’t initially have them, for example. “Someone’s a bit too happy to be doing his job,” I thought. I figured this would be a good place to start.Īll that was left was to bust out a booming assault rifle and get to work creating nice, spurting fountains of blood using my opponents, right? Wrong.Īfter kicking in “Core 3” one button, triggering the oddly named “Strafe Mode”, and then shooting, my targeting reticle jerked downward rather sharply. Call of Duty had a few weapons that qualified, and they seemed to be severe enough to affect accuracy. I went to my Steam library and started searching for an FPS with recoil. Regardless, after getting most of the settings squared away, and learning how to turn on all of the mouse's fancy new features, I set out to play some games. While it does feel a bit nit-picky to complain about that kind of thing, it’s really weird to see from what should be a higher-end mouse these days.
Instead, you double-click one key and then rotate the mouse wheel up or down to scroll through your presets. Besides the relatively poor and somewhat confusing instructions, I realized that, unlike most modern mice, the BUC5 doesn’t’ have a dedicated set of buttons for on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. If you're like me, this makes your minimalism-loving stomach turn. After a bit of fiddling around, I realized that the only solution to my problem was to use the included drivers. When you first plug in the mouse, you’ll probably notice that it's the opposite of sensitive (strange, particularly for a pointing device with a laser sensor).
