Performance of input devices in FPS target acquisition

Published:13 June 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

We evaluated the performance of a wheel mouse, an XBox360 controller, the combination of a mouse and a keyboard, and a Trackmouse in FPS target acquisition. The device combinations where mouse was used for aiming performed better than the Xbox360 controller.
