Wireless Gaming Mouse Battery Life When Plugged In

[ybriK]

If it's left plugged in the whole time which I know defeats the purpose of the wireless feature, does it damage the battery significantly overtime where it losses its' ability to hold a charge? Or will it be similar if used as intended?

 

I'm debating between the G703 vs Mamba Wireless.

I guess its the same as phones, if you leave it charging all the time its not gonna be healthy, like drinking too much water; seems healthy. but there's a limit. And yeah, that definitly defeats the purpose if you're gonna leave it plugged in all the time. But i guess you'll take it on the go once in a while. I've had bad experiences with Razer. so my choice would be to the G703

Mamba is plastic Garbage. Go with Logitech.

Not sure if this applies to other types of wireless mice, but with my Logitech G305 powered by a single AA battery, I choose to switch it off - leave the dongle plugged in - to avoid any battery drain. I assume if I kept it on, it would passively use up battery especially since I keep the dongle plugged in.
