My mouse [goes with the Level 10 case] ....also a hybrid...both wireless and wired for best of both worlds...

You should call that one 'Transformer Mouse'.

If Logitech's testing is accurate, that's a quantum advance.

If...

$150 for a mouse? Yeah, no thanks.

I'll say, that's more than I'd spend.

Architechy Mouse, of course, for Jafo.

Wireless vs wired are both light speed transmissions.  The only thing that matters is how slow the hardware is sending and receiving signals.  Whether wired or not, a mouse is still sending a signal, so as long as the other mice are all slowed down by their hardware, you can beat their latency with a wireless just fine.

Edit: Wiring also slows down the transmission rate, so a wireless signal actually moves faster to start with.

I think if people are stressing over the latency of electrical transmissions through a copper wire vs radio signal atmospherics they REALLY need to get a life...and face the fact that the reason they're losing at online shoot-em-ups is that they're simply crap at games...

Four fifths of fuck-all is not enough to worry about...

It's actually a nicely made mouse.  Main thing is it's tactile...in that it's not a piece of 'placky' ...

Yeah, I looked at one of these when I built my Level !0 machine [and really, really wanted one] but the funds were tight and I had to delay its purchase.  Well with one thing or another, being technically homeless for a while and needing new accommodation among them, it has been a couple or more years since then, but the mouse is still on the agenda... when I've managed to save a few more pennies.

Oh, and BTW, my case is black... meaning it'll suit my rig better.

That was explaining how a wireless mouse could be faster than a wired one, the barrier to using particular mice is in how much the actual operation of the devices slow things down.  In a wireless mouse, translating the received signal tends to create an impassable speed barrier as it's an added step a wired mouse doesn't have.

What mouse you have is actually a very big deal at competitive levels.  Typical high end internet can get you pings on local gaming servers that add less to your delay than the typical mouse will. 

I don't have the reflexes at this point for it to matter what kind of mouse I use, but when I did, and I was still slow then compared to the pro's, a couple milliseconds was important.  Having 30 ping instead of 18 was a pretty big hit to my ability to slaughter whole teams in Counter-Strike back in the day.

Having a 50+ ping mouse on top of a 30+ ping IPS panel would have been brutal.  I'd have needed to use Colt's and AK's just to stay even, going 30-1 with pistols against the best players in Alaska would never have happened.

Also, your mouse is impractical, hole's and shit are a bitch to clean and people are filthy animals that leave grease on everything.

It's actually quite effective...the holes and open architecture prevent your hands from sweating anything like a 'normal' mouse....so cleanliness isn't anywhere like the issue it can be with my old Intellimouse Explorer ...

By the looks of this video it seems that the battery won't last longer than 3 days as it haves only 720 mAh intergarted one.



It's a shame cause it's seems like a really good product, of course, if you "forget" about the fact that it costs $150
