    Wireless Mouse & Keyboard For Gaming

    Thinking about getting a new mouse and keyboard and would like to go wireless so i can write on my desk when i'm not using the pc as at the moment the keyboard get in the way
    Does wireless though effect your playing as i read somewhere that it take slonger for the signal to get to the pc so by the time you've shoot something its moved. I also saw that all the Logitech ones designed for gaming are wired.
    What do you reckon. Is wireless something that can effect your gaming.

    Yes, going wireless can affect your gaming very slightly. All the big gaming mice and keyboards are cabled. For gaming I recommend the Razer Lachesis or the Logitech G9. They are just awesome for gaming. Especially if you play online multiplayer shooting games.

    Its not very fun if your batteries run out when you are mid game I still use cabled for that reason.

    For keyboards, I don't think so.
    For mice, definitely, especially if it's FPS.

    I was thinking of getting the Logitech G15 and the G9 or G5
    Not sure if the G9 is worth the extra money over the G5

    I've got the G5, love it

    The G9 IMO looks too chunky for me.

    Re: Wireless Mouse & Keyboard For Gaming

    i don't understand the reason for wireless keyboards when your keyboard doesn't need to be moved..

    i game with a mx1000 which uses the "2.4ghz fast rf" radio which is so responsive i can't tell the difference between wired and wireless with it.
    other models which use the same radio i believe is the mx revolution and mx1100
