Tap it twice. Aim a gun in a FPS game? Touch the spot, and have your gun there instantly a 'la Metroid Prime Hunters. There won't be any more need for the split-second delay while you move the mouse to touch something. |
Are you serious? I don't see how double tapping is faster than double clicking. I'd say it is more likely many times slower. Same with moving your gun. You say there won't be a split second delay, but there will in the time it takes you to move your arm. It just won't show in game. How is moving my arm across a 21" screen more instant than moving my mouse about 2" and getting the same result?
