Wireless Mice/Keyboards and Gaming?

[Neil4Speed]

Hi there everyone,

Just wondering how everyones experiences have been with wireless mice/keyboards and gaming, I was looking for one, but might just go wired if it is really poor.

Thanks

I don't like wireless mouse because it feels heavier than what I'm use to and I feel like I can't move my hand as fast.

Wireless has come a long way, it's close to wired keyboard and mice, for general gaming it's okay. If you want the most performance then you'd want to go with wired, as you're not limited by RF frequency, and in response time and bandwidth (yes amazingly bandwidth).

i've been using wireless mouse/keyboard for YEARS for gaming.. it really have come a long way. But definitly no problem at all, dont worry about signal delay or anything, it works flawlessly. I cant evne play w/ a Corded mouse anymore, the cord piss me off.

Actually I dont know if ALL wireless mouse out there are that good ( game wise), but i've been using Logitechs and they are awesome ( using a MX700 atm)

Just ordered the new Logitech Laser mouse MX1000, cant wait til it gets here

I have a logitech wireless keyboard, and I find if I'm hitting keys really fast, like when typing quickly, or gaming, the keyboard itself gets kind of laggy.
However, I've never had a problem with the mouse.

that problem is likely your computer...the lag is there cuz the computer is using the keyboard buffer.

I use a wireless mouse for browsing, but wired for gaming.. I notice a very slight difference, but Im a very serious gamer.

i played competetive dc and cs and didnt notice much of a diff

I bought a nice MS wireless mouse, and noticed the lag right away in CS and even on desktop. Took it back same day. I've heard logitechs are better for wireless but haven't tried one.

I have used a bunch of wireless mice and keyboards.

With all wireless mice I have noticed a lag with the mouse, (especially long after not moving it for a while).

Right now I am using the MX1000. Awesome mouse for web surfing and internet applications/word processing however the thing is a TANK. Its really heavy and although it has lower lag levels being RF and laser instead of optical it still leaves a lot to be desired.

For gaming / photo editing I like a standard Logitech optical corded mouse. I keep one plugged into my system on USB so that I can use it for gaming, and the other mouse for internet use.

The keyboard doesnt make a difference. I dont notice ANY lag with wireless keyboards and life wouldnt be the same without mine.

Thanks for the responses.

I bought an MX Combo today for $83.00 after GST.

I could have pricematched and got the LX700 combo for $50, I feel kinda silly getting the MX now... but the MX seems better.

Fuck, I don't know why I am so crazy about spending $80 bucks lol

The LX is supposedly a higher model, but I dunno why!

I have tried almost everything out there (yeah Im a nerd, whatever) and I've found the absolute best for:

gaming: Logitech MX510 HANDS DOWN.

browsing/other: Wireless Logitech MediaPlay.. wireless mouse with play/pause/fastfowrard/rewind/volume built in with killer range
