Is Going Wireless Worth It?

[Oswin]

looking forward to get the new G502 Hero, but based on the price the wireless seems too far off and it seems logical to get the wired one.

 

is it worth it to pay the premium for the wireless option?

 

any constructive opinion is appreciated.

I would. I hate wires. There are cheaper options than the G502.

I got a G603 a while ago, and honestly it'd be pretty hard to go back to anything else. Latency is the exact same as a wired mouse too. Plus these will run off 1 battery so they're just the right weight.

I have a wireless logitech g900 mouse and it's the best mouse i've used. Wireless is so much better, i won't use a wired mouse again.

unpopular opinion but I just like using wired for anything I can (networking, keyboards/mouses, connecting Xbox controllers to my PC, etc) I haven't had a wireless gaming mouse so it may just be me. I went as far as to purchasing 100ft Ethernet cords to connect my pc in my bedroom to my living room, luckily they blend in with the wall. In my defense I transfer files a lot over the network so having wired is important for me

 

Anyway back to mouses, since most don't use Bluetooth and use a dedicated frequency you won't have to worry about signal loss compared to blue tooth

Latency wise as long as its a good mouse from a reputable brand it should be fine

I used around 15 wired mice in the past 6 months, swapped for logitech g pro wireless and it was the best decision I ever made.

I think as long as you can minimize the cable drag there is no difference. I used to use a wireless mouse and I can't tell the difference between that mouse and the one I have now (Corsair M65 RGB or Pro or whatever it is, just not the Elite one).
