Re: Ultimate mouse/keyboard for gaming on fps

Personally, I've found the Logitech MX1000 to be without any perceptable lag whatsoever. It's my favourite mouse by far, and I'm not just a casual gamer. I've played CS and Q3 at league and tournament level, so any lag that had a bearing on performance would have been a big issue for me. (Logitech are bringing out a new range in fact, which should be even more impressive)

Unless you have an HTPC setup where you need the keyboard miles from the base unit, there is no logical reason to go wireless for that.

The benefit to wireless is no cord snagging, which I found really irratating. Now that I've had wireless for a fairly long time, I wouldn't go back.

A little snippet from thefiringsquad.com (home of the legendary Thresh, arguably one of the best pro gamers)

A mouse review on a gaming site wouldn't be complete without inserting our findings when playing an FPS game. Up for the job, is our very-well-played copy of Call of Duty; multiplayer, of course. This reviewer focuses most of his online gaming hours playing CoD deathmatch. With the MX1000 was his weapon, it didn't disappoint. For readers who have stayed away from cordless mice because of their 'lag' to respond to your mouse movements, especially in FPS games, let us put that issue to rest: there is no lag (or was it, that there is no spoon?). Playing at least 10 hours of multiplayer CoD with the handle 'Fritz Burger' always yielded a first or second position on the kill list, at least on the maps that this reviewer likes and is familiar with.
