GAMING - Wireless Mouse or not??

[Chrislandry238]

I can def. tell that a wired mouse works way better than the wireless mouse I have ( Logitech MX5500 combo) but I've been reading about the new Raser Wireless mouse and I'm hearing good things. Please take a moment and try a wired mouse vs a wireless mouse if you use one and let me know whats the best out there :)

[Genecidalic]

It pretty much depends on you. I mean it really doesnt effect me too much like i can feel a difference however if i let my hand adjust i quickly return to dominating at whatever im playing lol

[defunkt]

You could always get a wireless mouse that you can plug in via USB. Razer do a couple :)

thats also how you charge the razer ones :D dieing battery? plug it in via usb and keep playing while charging

I prefer wired because i have actual speakers.

the waves do not like eachother

just as much as i dislike batteries

[Minjon]

If you play FPS on any competitive level do not play with wireless mouses, but if you are not then ok i used for a long time a wireless Logitech mouse but when i witched to wired i could feel whenever im on a wireless mouse some kind of lag input.

I really couldn't recommend Razer to anyone, wired or wireless unless we were talking about the Deathadder.

I personally love the Razer Naga, some people don't like the 12 buttons but I use them all the time playing WoW, Farcry etc. plus it's wired and wireless. I use wired most of the time but I don't notice a huge difference in wireless either.

[Denned]

I prefer wired mouses, just because I don't want to deal with batteries / plugging in some cable to make i charge.

If you're thinking about performance, then there shouldn't be a reason to worry. Most gaming grade wiresless mouses will have the same latency as wired mouses.

The Logitech g700s would also be an option :)

[Chrislandry238]

The Razer Ouroboros looks awesome

[Chrislandry238]

I'm hearing a lot of good things about logitechs g700s

I use the normal G700 and even then I cant notice a difference between wired or wireless.. No lag at all..

So I'd definitly buy wireless again (If I know its a good one ofc not some random mouse)

Even if you aren't competitive, I don't know why anyone would hinder themselves :P

 

To the OP, I have used a G700 for a few months then switched to the g400 after I broke the g700 cause angers. The g400 is just a better feeling mouse. BUT it's not because one's wireless and one's not. It has to do with the sensor more then anything else. I never noticed a difference between wired and wireless and I'm rather picky about that stuff. But honestly, just get a g400 and be happy

[Chrislandry238]

Sweet if I run most games at high res like 1080p the dpi of the g700s should be more than enough, since my mx5500 mouse only has 800 dpi right?

[0s4x]

Well the G700s has a max DPI of 8200, so that'll definitely be more than enough going from an MX5500.

Wireless mice do have an minor input lag although it may be negligible (For twitch gaming this can be a huge factor though!), as well as having the need to swap batteries/recharge.

Personally i prefer wired mice to remove all the hassle with handling wireless mice.

+1 mate, all so true! Another thing to consider that I don't think most do is that batteries within the mouse do add some weight you know! So mice with batteries will be quite a bit heavier, (dunno if you like that or not) so keep that in mind.

[Jonny.Wong.16]

I use a Razer Mamba and I don't notice any input lag while in wireless mode. I also love the convenience of a wireless mouse and not having to deal with a cord. The only issue is sometimes my macro profiles don't auto switch, or take a really long time, when I start a game. ie. I set the DPI up/down buttons to gadgets in BF3 and I don't check the mouse profile before I start playing, then I die cause I can't drop a med-pack. :( In wired mode, there are no problems at all. I hope this helps.

[XiaoPigs]

I personally love wired mice because I don't like the hassle of batteries too. Plus I'm a FPS player and that slight input lag bugs me a lot. 

[bradscoolio]

No matter how good a wireless mouse gets you have to ask yourself "do i want to recharge my mouse?", If that's a no, then get a wired mouse.

If you're a casual gamer and don't like wires, wireless is fine...If you're pretty serious about it, forget it. Input lag + battery dying at a bad time = very angry gamer.
