UsB Mouse

[jimx]

hey guys are usb mouses always shit or is it just this one that i got??

oh and is it true that wireless mouses can be inaccurate? or is it just another puzzle for the myth busters to solve

[Richo101]

Think about the logitech MX500 series and the G5 and G7 then ask again. I dont know much about wireless mice but i think the G7 would be pretty good given logitech's reputation.

usb is fine
wireless is fine

the only issue with wireless is with shit arse brands in LAN enviroment.
G7 and mx1000, and MS wireless Explorer are fine in LAN enviroment as long as noone near ya has a devil mouse (wireless a4tech)
no difference between wireless and usb, usb has the potential (and many cases is) better than ps/2

[Richo101]

Yeh wireless can be pretty gay for lans. At LANX a while ago, a friend of mine had one and he was messing with the guy who was sitting opposite to him. Was pretty funny for a while :D (but im sure was shitful for the other guy)

...your darn right!
It was shitful!!11
I knew it was you guys...

100% backed up what he said, i've used a mx700 at lans and never had to deal with interference.

The only real problem i've had with mouses, is getting the lcd screen to fully function...

mx700 wasn't that good :eek:
have another 2 or 3 mx700's near ya and ya all have issues.

still, ANY wireless mouse can be killed by a single a4tech within 5 meters :(
they are absolute devils!

[mudgie]

MX1000 has never skipped a beat, perhaps I'm lucky enough not to sit around tight arses with their A4Tech crap :P.

[cvt]

my mx1000 served me perfect aswell, but also never been near a a4tech since I had it.
i know the mx700 and MS Explorer definatley still fart and die around them.

lol someone say a4? i used to have one. then i got a Diamondback :D

never went back. most sensitive, awesome, great feel nice ergo mouse ever. i like it better than any g5

Yeah same thing happened to me a while back, the funny thing was, that the guy was actually right clicking and managing to click on context menu items, I was like, :confused:

J ritch reckons bluetooth mouses lag. I wouldn't know cuz i havnt used one before

[dominatrix]

they do, i've got one at home. they are fine once you start using them, but if there isnt any activity for 5 mins or something, you have to move it around a bit to get it going again. they also chew up the batteries.

[mudgie]

It's also a pain in the arse when you forget to recharge your mouse before a LAN... a couple of Xs ago I was charging in between rounds in the Quake 3 comp - 30 seconds of charge will buy you about 2 minutes of use before it dies!

[Joshu]

bluetooth wireless mice are fine

not that i was talking about bluetooth mice but oh well

[dominatrix]

bluetooth wireless mice are fine

not that i was talking about bluetooth mice but oh well

i wouldnt use one for gaming, but for general use, they're fine.

[Joshu]

i used a wireless non-bluetooth mouse for gaming

worked fine

owned most of you

[zyaN]

Same here ^_^

[dominatrix]

i also have no problems with wireless mouses, i just dont think bluetooth wireless mouses are very good for gaming.

[Peter]

J ritch reckons bluetooth mouses lag. I wouldn't know cuz i havnt used one before

ive got a logitech Bluetooth mx1000 mouse, not a problem with lag at all. although coming out of its standby seems to take a second, but no problems with lag

[dominatrix]

yeah, the standby thing was what i was talking about. have you gamed with it? i only got like, 8 or 9 hours of gaming with it :/
