I find no difference at all - as long as the battery status is green. _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge  Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve

damn it deleted my comment instead of edited...
Wireless = not gaming mouse... I had a G5 and replaced with the Razer Deathadder Most comfortable and accurate mouse I've ever used and I'm a hardcore COD4 junkie. Plus the pricetag isn't that bad. I tried their new lachesis...amazing accuracy, but didnt fit my hand well. _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

Really? I felt the G5 was exactly the same to the G7 other than the fact instead of weights, the G7 has a place for batteries. Although, I believe the G7 is basically a wireless G5.
Of course, reliability of a wireless mouse isn't comparable to a corded mouse. Then again, if you wanted to consider corded, Razer is my personal favorite. My copperhead has proved quite useful with it's quick DPI switcher and sturdy design. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." This comment was edited by Augusta_Mintaka on Jul 08 2008 10:11pm. |

I use a Logitech G5 with a Mouse Bungee to keep wires off my mousepad. Wireless mice have really come a long way, but you can't beat the "it works or it doesn't" philosophy behind wired peripherals. That mouse bungee is awesome too Don't know how I survived without it. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. This comment was edited by DJ Sith on Jul 08 2008 05:45pm. |

Quote: That is a very good question. MX Revolution
I chose it particularly because it had those buttons on the side of the mouse for web browsing (and force powers) and that it has a recharge stand so I wouldn't stop moving halfway though a duel. However, I'm used to changing stances by pressing the scroll button on top. I Can't do that any more with MX Revolution. The side browsing buttons I can't get to be recognised in game, nor the second scroll button by the thumb. Now I have a mouse and keyboard set MX3200 - its got all the buttons although lacking the second scroll button  and works fine for me, although it does run on batteries
I have the MX620. I actually chose it delibrately over the Revolution. Each to his/her own I guess.
Top reason: It doesnt use a special battery. It uses a normal pair of AA batteries which last for about a year. My scroll wheel is recognised by JA. ^^ (also, the body shape is identical to my old MX440 which I have been using for years. ) _______________ Joined 16 October 2004 | Retired 10 April 2005 | Returned 05 June 2008 | Made Staff 27 June 2008 | Made Council 18 January 2009 Padawan To Odan-Wei Belouve | Adopted into the Belouve family | Twin to xAnAtOs | Owner of the 4th Quesi sexy badge Brother To Roan Belouve, Nomad, Majno, Silkmonkey, Kensei and Jarhok Belouve

When I first had a wireless mouse a few years ago, it needed new batteries every couple of weeks or so. I don't think that is the case any more - I think they last much longer on batteries.
Of course on most models now you can see when the battery is going low. But I always found there was a fine line between a lowish battery that would still respond to subtle movements required for duelling and a low battery that wouldnt. The advantage of a mouse with a recharging stand is that it never gets to that point as you can always top up the 'battery'. It might be easier not to go wireless at all, but I find the cords annoying after having been without them for so long. _______________ I can write my name with my sparkler.

i never had a wireless mouse (yeah dark ages etc) so im wondering if i have to change batteries often. also how do those rechargers etc work since 'you dont have to stop in middle of what you are doing' ? _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

The G7 would be perfect if it only had one more side button for web browsing. I guess that only applies to people who use the side buttons to go back and forward though. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Razer makes my favorite mice, but I'm pretty sure they don't make wireless. Runner up would be logitech which I makes great wireless ones.
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/&cl=us,en&page=2&filter=360&sort=0 There's a list of some you could browse. The MX and G7 are pretty good, but they are pricey. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." This comment was edited by Augusta_Mintaka on Jul 07 2008 05:14pm. |
