Err... this a prank Bul? I'm lookin' for a new mouse. What kind of specs were on this one?

I've had comp-teks tell me chordless/battery operated mice are a royal pain.... yet others using them think they're fine.

Maybe I should start a poll :freak:

I'm not sure how expensive this "laser" mouse is but I have the Logitech MX700 Wireless Optical mouse and I have had no problems with it. It works GREAT for games. No lag at all. Props to Bullhead for convincing me to buy it though.

Here's some talk about it on the reputable Anandtech.com forums.

I did a search for it and theres nothing mentioned about it on the logitech site but other places have it listed for $140 to $170. I have a MX700 mouse and keyboard and both have been superb. Ill probably end up getting one of these if its as good as the one I have right now.

i have an Optical Laser mous..no probs with it.. just gotta keep new batts around..its a pain to have them die in the middle of a RTCW game..

repalce em with 1800mAh's or better and the charge lasts quite awhile. I do keep a spare set too just in case.

Never have understood why I would need a cordless mouse. Its not like I ever use my mouse very far from my pc.

i don't like the "snag" feel of a cord. I would never go back.

looks intresting. Using the mx700 now. Batteries rarely ever get low.

Same here, plus it gives your desk space a nice appearance.

Thats exactly the reason I switched, didnt like the snag.

The snag sucks... i love my mx700, but you need to get good batteries, energizer rechargables wear out really fast...

picked up the MX1000 today at Compusa. Let you all know what I think after playing with it tonight.
