Game Forum / Action Games / Halo/Halo 2 / December 2004Wireless Gaming Mouse
Any recomendations? Thanks > Any recomendations? Thanks I have the Logitech Mireless Elite Duo, and I haven't had an excellent experience with it even on the desktop. I think there's inherent lag in wireless mice just from the LED constantly trying to turn off to save battery. Just get one with a long wire, or if that;s not enough, get one of those USB patch cables.  Signature- Acercanto user: forestman domain: vt.edu I think there's a world market for about 8 computers. -- Bill Gates LED ones???? Infrared fool, and these arent the only ones around. The RF ones are really good, enter the Logitech MX700 or MX1000 > > Any recomendations? Thanks > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > battery.

I was reffering to the LED on the bottom, that's always trying to turn off the instant you stop moving it...

Then what is it? It's not a laser, because M$ is just coming out with a laser mouse. And it's not Incandescent because.. well, just because. And it's not a flame 'cause I don't think it is. (Unlike the replies I'm likely to receive) ;-) > and it going into powersaving mode doesn't cause latency... Hmmm, I may be wrong on that one, but I can't think of anything else that would cause the pointer to lag behind a tad, even on the desktop. With mine, pretty much the instant I stop moving it, the light goes dim, waiting for more input to "wake" it back up. I had always figured that bit of time it takes to realize it needs to wake up was the sluggishness, but I could be totally off.. - Acercanto user: forestman domain: vt.edu I think there's a world market for about 8 computers. -- Bill Gates > Sponge enlightened us with: >> Thats not an LED [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Incandescent because.. well, just because.

(Unlike the replies I'm likely to receive) ;-) it is an LED, dont listen to that mong. my old MS intellimouse explorer even said something along the lines of "class 1 LED device" on it. Its most definately not your average 100w bayonet cap :) >> and it going into powersaving mode doesn't cause latency... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > of time it takes to realize it needs to wake up was the sluggishness, but > I could be totally off.. i think its actually the RF shutting down that causes the delay, as wired optical mice do the same thing and dont have a delay > - Acercanto > user: forestman domain: vt.edu > I think there's a world market for about 8 computers. -- Bill Gates > LED ones???? > > Infrared fool, and these arent the only ones around.

I think you are the fool for calling this guy a fool. Most wireless mice use an LED to take snapshots of the surface you have the mouse on. The Infrared you are talking about is a mean of communicating these snapshots to the computer. I think you owe him an apology for penance. > LED ones???? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> battery.

Thanks Agreed. I love my MX700. I have tried the Duo before for gaming, and I think the keyboard and mouse don't like sharing the bandwidth for gaming. Using just the wireless MX700 is great! > mx 700..best mouse ever! > > there are 2 addl buttons by your thumb to bind as well!! nice little > advantage > >> Any recomendations? Thanks > Any recomendations? Thanks I've got an mx700 thats fantastic for games, and almost every review agrees. Dont get the mx1000 laser one though, although it is extraordinarily accurate, it has a safety cutout that means it only works when it is on the desk. so if you are moving around, and lift the mouse up to move in the same direction some more, it'll stop for a second or so. I have the MX1000 and have no problem moving while off the mat. Cuts out at about 1/4inch better than a ball mouse that cuts out as soon as you lift it.

Same here MX 1000 is great, and works a few mm off the ground. SignatureAndi.

Ok i have the mx1000 wireless laser, having upgraded from the logitech mx510 wired optical. The mx1000 is extremely nice. As far as it cutting off, you don't notice in the heat of battle, and it cuts on so quick theres almost no lag. the button config is nice too with the scroll wheel that tilts left and right, page up and down buttons and customizable buttons. It is heavy, but the last is so much better on pickup you don't need a mousepad. I have a woodgrain desk and my optical jumped around on it. The laser has no prob with it. so with no pad, the field of movement is a lot bigger and you don't have to pick it up to center as much. Hi, Yep got the MX1000 laser mouse and the response is amazing. I was very happy with my MX510 but my kind brother got me the mx1000 for christmas. Initially on UT2004 the control was too much I took off mouse acceleration and with some practice NICE. The height off cut off is around 4mm but instant connection once on the surface again. Depends on style of play. Online death match some relearning is required but for Single player shoot em ups ie H-L 2 and Doom excellent. physman > Ok i have the mx1000 wireless laser, having upgraded from the logitech > mx510 wired optical.
