Best wireless mouse?
« on: Sun, 26 April 2015, 09:02:44 »
Wires on my current setup are getting in the way. Ideally I would like to get a wireless mouse, currently coming from a g9x. Would like something that has:
1) Good shape to it
2) Side forward/back buttons
3) Preferably with good battery life and being reasonably cheap.(not $100)
4) Solid/heavy construction
(In order of importance)

Seems a lot of wireless mice have some questionable reviews.

Best one I found review wise was:

http://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-E-3lue-E-blue-Wireless-Optical/dp/B00FWJFKPO/ref=sr_1_8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1430056364&sr=1-8&keywords=wireless+mice

Ugly as hell though...

Help me before I get this terribly ugly mouse please.

Also...umm, tangent, are there any reasonably priced bluetooth keyboards on the way? #blasphemy
...would consider moding.

Best wireless mouse I've ever owned is the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705:

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Marathon-3-year-Battery/dp/B003TG75EG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430077791&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+marathon+mouse

It's a simple mouse... but it has everything you need. It has the forward / back buttons and a latching / unlatching scroll wheel. It's battery life is phenomenal! The original batteries that came with it will last for a year or more.. and that's using it 8+ hours a day! They advertise the batteries lasting 3 years... and I wouldn't doubt it if you used it a lot less than 8 hours a day.

Try googling the MX Master by Logitech. Looks promising. Apparently, it has 40 days of battery life on one charge.

It's also 100$ and has some questionable reviews. The other mice have better reviews and cost 1/5 the price. (Although I do think the side wheel looks neat.)

Yes, the Logitech marathon is a tad smaller than most desktop mice. My hand is a little less than 8 inches from the base of my palm to the end of my middle finger and this mouse fits just fine in my hand. I suppose it would depend on how you hold your mice though. I hold my mice with a fingertip grip... so  if you grab your mice with a claw or palm grip you may have more issues if you have large hands.

Looks pretty, added it to the list.

No, completely irrelevant.

The issue is not primarily dependent on the speed of the signal, the only thing that matters is that the signal is faster than our ability to perceive delay.

For example, lets say a wireless mouse took .0005 seconds to relay a signal and a wired mouse took .00000000001 seconds to relay the same signal, even though the wired mouse is 50000000 times faster it is still completely irrelevant if our ability to perceive delays between an action and an event is say .2 seconds. They would be functionally equivalent even though there is a huge difference between them.

TL: DR - Are you lost?

tp actually has a point, although in a bit different way. The mouse has to be powered somehow. If it's wireless, but not inductive or something, it saves power by going to sleep every now and then… waking up may cause some lag though.

It's a matter of balancing responsiveness and battery life. Most wireless mice don't do that very well.

I am incredibly tempted by the MX Master.  If my G700s wasn't so new I would pick up the MX Master immediately.

Very precise.  works on any surface, smooth, great clicking on all buttons.

i'm worried that the mx master will be driver crippled during games though.

I will order the 3rd warranty replacement because the switches fail,  they are not Omrons like in most logitech's. It is beautiful but too small to have decent ergonomics. Finger grabbing is the only way to use it.

ya, GREAT mobile mouse, but on your permanent desk, you can do better.

It's still not solidly built, I'm really careful with my stuff. But as a positive side, Logitech's costumer support is supreme. 3 yr warranty is also a plus.

If you want a SOLID wireless mouse, you can't go wrong with the current MX Master model.

Got it delivered today and it seems quite nice.  Fits my paw easily and it works nicely on the desktop, although this model is STRICTLY for all desktop activities so no Gaming is allowed, because it's suitable only for business and quiet home like usage  :thumb: .

Just currently using it for email reading and sending and it's been perfect thus far.  Because they (Logitech) stuck to a traditional mouse body I can see this baby being used like street walker for some time to come.

If you play games, you can't go wrong with the Logitech G602, although it does have a chronic issue on its middle button, which stops working for me every 8-9 months and I'm on the second RMA already due to it (that square thingie with a white tip, right next to the optical encoder and the left button OMRON switch):



Anyways, I just wish Logitech would use better quality switches on their mid button, it's always been like that... G9x, G500, G700, G402... All use crap :(

The MX Master is a fantastic mouse, but it's not quite gaming grade. If that's not an issue definitely save the extra scrilla points for it. Otherwise if you game, I'll echo the other comments and suggest the G602. Absolutely love it.

I love my Steel Series Wireless Mouse. I picked up a Logitech g700 and the Razer Ouroboros to try out and returned the both of them since I liked my existing Steel Series. I feel like it's way better made than the both of them and it's a shame that Logitech doesnt make their high end MX line as nice as they used to or I'd recommend that.

One more vote for the logitech g602! It has six navigation buttons, You can assign them to pretty much anything with the logitech software, and the bindings are stored on the mouse, which is very convenient! For example i have, tabprevious, tabnext, browser back, browser forward, pgup, and pgdn assigned to them. I usually don't consider gaming peripherals when shopping for input devices, but I'm glad I took a chance on the 602. R

Regarding battery life: I got around 5months of usage on a pair of AA's (runs on 2xAA's). The mouse has some sort of synthetic texture on its sides, specifically where your thumb and ringfinger & pinky end up resting. It has a nice texture that you get used to very quickly. All the friends I've shown it to have responded positively to it.

For wireless mice, if you expect it to last, there is maybe 4 or 5 companies to even consider. Logitech and MS being two of the big ones. If you want to game, then your options are even less. Most wireless mice are garbage, and when it comes to gaming a lot have quite a bit of lag, or they lack precision.

If you want to game with a wireless mouse, be darn sure it's a wireless mouse designed for gaming, from a major company and you need to accept the fact that it will eat batteries. Gaming sensors and low lag wireless systems need power, some are better than others, but there is always a tradeoff.

While I like the Logitech Master, it's not a gaming mouse, it's a high end power user's mouse.  It's probably going to lack high speed precision, high DPI and it may not respond as fast. It doesn't need to. You don't care about super high refresh and that tiny microsecond when you are just browsing the net. On the other hand, a G700 is going to chew through batteries, I put a 2400mah battery in mine, and it lasts about 18 hours, but I crank up the refresh and dpi rate.

I would imagine the G602 is probably going to be the best option as a good compromise.

While I agree, the G700 may look and feel like a step back, inside, mechanically and electronically, it's absolutely top notch (the wheel is arguable).

The same applies to the MX Performance (which I hate), looks like a step back from the Revolution (again the wheel is debatable), but again, inside the mouse is really well made.  In this case though I would rather take a Revolution or give the new Master a try over the Performance.

The sad part, is Logitech probably only saved 10cents per mouse making them look cheap.

For those wondering the difference between the G700 and G700 I have answers.
My G700 left mouse button died the other day (it's awaiting repair), so I went and grabbed a new G700s (cheap at Best buy). I thought they were identical, they are not.

The G700S model has a much higher DPI, 8200 vs. 5700 and quite a bit more efficient. There's also mention of lighting in the config, but I've never seen it, it may be in reference to a keyboard, but it's not clear. My G700 needs half the report rate and a 2700mah battery to last as long as the G700s with the stock 1900mah battery, about 15 hours of hard use (5700dpi@1000rps). Install a big 2700mah in the S and you could probably get another 5 hours. With lower rates, which most people use, you could go several days on a charge.

I would go with the MX Master. It's an amazing mouse with it's size and weight. Battery life is decent as well since it lasts me weeks before I need to charge it. The only annoying thing is that it would randomly die on me and not warn me about the low battery.

I do also own a Razer Mamba 2012, but I don't think that after using the MX Master.

I bought my MX Master brand new off Craigslist for CDN$75. Which is like USD$50 or something like that, so it's totally possible to find this mouse for under $100

I owned the G700 and it sucked, majorly.  Too heavy, and tracked horribly on my black cloth pad.  Has anyone tried the Sensei Wireless?

While I can't say much about the weight (it's wireless, it has a battery....), some sensors work better on different pads. I have some mice that work well on glass (despite not claiming to), while others worked great on cheap cloth they worked great on fine cloth, others just the opposite (works great on rough, terrible on fine). The G700's sensor is quite precise, which I think is part of the problem, the fibers always shed a teeny bit and it's able to pick them up. It was one reason I tried a hard pad, I got tired of it acting up, once I did, it became fantastic.

As far as weight goes, again pad surface can reduce the weight feel of a mouse.

for gaming dont get a wireless, the MX master is great for everything but gaming in my opinion and so I use my G400s for that and I am happy with that. I have a comfortable mouse I use when I browse, video edit, play around with 3d modelling (the MX master) and I have a great light mouse for accurate game movement.(G400S)
I will say that I havent tried the G602 but on the subject this is my 2 cents.

I have no problems gaming with the 700s, just make sure it's a gaming wireless or you may get some lag.

As many people have said the Logitech G602 is a wonderful wireless mouse. It takes AA batteries making it easy to get new batteries if your mouse dies. I've had my mouse since September and I have yet to have to change the battery.

I'm loving the MX Master...... seems like the spiritual successor to my old MX Revolution, in a lot of ways. Haven't quite seen 40 days out of a single battery charge, but I'm on my computer all day, every day for work (development / coding), so I'm not surprised by that. Got about 2 weeks out of the first charge which I didn't feel was bad for the usage.

For me, with large-ish hands, this thing is basically amazing. After using it for a while, it's really easy to justify the $90 I spent on it from Amazon, and even easier to recommend it whole-heartedly to others. GREAT mouse.

Logitech MX Anywhere 2 if you like smaller (but still well built, hefty) mice for claw/fingertip grip.

I havent counted the days but I have had it for months and charged it maybe 3-4 times.

I exceed the max sensor speed on my G602 a lot when I play CSGO, but it's been a great mouse to use other than that. CSGO is unplayable for me on the endurance setting, but on the performance mode with 500Hz polling it's fine to use. The cursor moves down slightly when I do a 180 but it's correctable and nbd.

I like my Performance MX. It's very similar to the Master, but I'm sure they're both great choices. The Master does have some nicer features though, like multiple device connections. And it looks nicer IMO

I've gone through a few wireless mice. Unless something has changed, I'd stay away from bluetooth and in general I'd stay away from Razer mice, wireless or wired. A wireless Logitech G700 is what I've been on for multiple years now. The mouse is well built and the wireless functionality works well enough for me to not notice it in the small amount of gaming I do.

Is Steelseries quality better than Razer? That's one brand that I've never even used myself.

Overall, Steelseries mice have better build quality than Razer. They don't have that hollow, empty feel that most Razer mice I've tried, have (Abyssus V1, Deathadder, Mamba).

One more vote for G602. It's quite brilliant, despite looking odd - I wasn't sure what to expect as my previous mouse was G9 (so, smaller and of completely different shape), but figured what the Hell, I'll give it a go. And I'm not sorry, been using it for the past 2 years or so (I think?) and I'm very, very happy with it.

Looses connection completely, or just starts acting weird? I know there's an issue with USB3.0 interference (the solution is to move Logitech receiver to an USB 2.0 port that is as far as possible from 3.0), which I'm experiencing as well.
