Hmm, I like the old mouse.. The ship stayed stuck on the side alot and woundn't move no mather how many times I rolled my mouse in the opposite direction... this one is very buggy, doesn't respond at all half the time.. .. oh well..
The reason for that "sticking" was that it wasn't sticking at all!
when you excellerate you must stop but if you excellerate into the side, you must get the momentum of the other way....
Try moving over to the wall... the ship will stop and its very hard to make it go at all... It jams, falls off track, and gets confused by looks of it..
