Well a ball mouse would be better for gaming. It's more percise. But the only good 5 button ball mouse is the Razer Boomslang 2000 and they went out of busyness because no one could afford a 100 dollar mouse made souly for gamers.

The next best thing would be a Logitech MX-500 with 8 buttons... But Logitech fucked up all there hardware with the latest crappy version of Logitech Mouseware (software)..

So yeah.. Even though it's lighter than air, way to slippery, and has slight tracking problems. I'm sorry to say that the MS Intellimouse Explorer is probably your best bet.
