I'll throw my vote in for the G900.
I hear this one is pretty gudShow Image(http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/magic_mouse_2_charging.jpg)
No, wireless does not suck.
This is spread by people using cheap low end wireless, which are garbage. If you get something higher end by Logitech or Microsoft you more than likely will not have any issues.
*Note I exclusively use wireless (I tend to break cords), and have used and own more than half of the mice I recommended here.
Best wireless mouse, hands down - Logitech G900
Similar weight to a wired mouse, no acceleration, days long battery life (rare for a gaming desktop mouse)... However, I wouldn't use a G900 for travel unless you get a dedicated bag or case for it (before placing inside your laptop bag) as the way the buttons overhang, they could get damaged if they snag on something. Like the G700, it actually stores it's settings onboard, so if you use other operating systems or switch between multiple systems, your settings will carry over. You could set up a profile for Windows and another for Mac so all buttons work how you want, and then be able to switch the sensor settings as well without ever needing to install the Logitech software. I did a review of this in the Review section of the forum, not cheap, but fantastic.
Best portable wireless mouse - Logitech Anywhere 2
A portable that feels as comfortable as a fullsize mouse, months long battery charge. Odd scroll wheel release though. I did a review of this in the Review section of the forum, again, not cheap or good for gaming, but a fantastic portable mouse.
Other good alternatives (though only the G series iss meant for games):
Fullsize - Logitech G700s, (FUGLY!), but a great mouse and a smoking deal for what you can find them for these days, G403, G502, G604. Or the Mx performance.
Portable - Microsoft Arc (not good for gaming), any small, cheap Logitech wireless.
Despite being cheap, the cheap Logitech mice work quite well, just don't expect to use it for a full days work or gaming, but for $15, if it gets destroyed, you won't be too upset.
Not recommended:
Pretty much anything wireless that is not MS or Logitech. This is especially true for cheap, non-bluetooth wireless, seriously, don't even bother.
Even good, high end wireless have connectivity problems, I'm not sure what MS and Logitech do, but if you look up reports on various mice, you will find fewer problem per capita by Logitech and MS, by a LONG shot. As for lower end, most cheaper brands start glitching out after a few months, sometimes less. So while you pay more for Logitech or MS, they last a lot longer.
I'm afraid that the built-in battery will die on the G900. Put I like the idea of a "mobile PWM3366".
How is the G900 better than the G403 wireless? Coz the G403 also comes with PWM3366.
Oh.. and some report the ability to wiggle the mouse buttons on the G900. Is that true?
What is your opinion on the best wired mouse? (sorry offtopic, I usually don't do this) :)I haven't used a wired mouse, willingly, in... ummm... uhhh...

Yeah, I'm not going to answer that as it severely dates me. Let's just say it's been a long time.
I cannot stand wired.
I use dual 1080p screens for cad so i need pixel level precision, I also get carpal tunnel chasing a mouse all over my desk.What is your opinion on the best wired mouse? (sorry offtopic, I usually don't do this) :)I haven't used a wired mouse, willingly, in... ummm... uhhh...

No love for the greatest mouse of all-time? aka The Intellimouse?? hello??
Are you playing Counter Strike or something??
Why the need for such high polling rates and DPI?? What is your working resolution?

At 1000mhz refresh and 7000 DPI, with lights on, basically worst thing you can do, the battery will last about 28-30 hours of use. If you turn off the lights, the battery will last 32 hours non-stop. It's not going to die on you, but if it did, 5 minutes on a cell phone charger gets you 2-4 hours or something like that. The software will even tell you the exact amperage draw it's using so it's not like you are going to be surprised by it.
As for it vs the 403.
The 900 has no acceleration for gaming (not a big deal for most people) and the G900 can connect to 3 machines, (switched by pressing a button on bottom) using the dongle and bluetooth. While the 403 uses a dongle. Bluetooth is about 10 times more efficient than the dongle, but less responsive. The 900 also gets slightly more battery life (2-10 hours more).
The buttons can wiggle a teeny bit.. That's because of how they are mounted.
Most mice use a plastic flex hinge, I.E. a thinner section of the plastic body that flexes, the G900 uses an actual hinge, as in a pin running through holes. This means they can wiggle more than people are used to (it's not noticeable while using it), but also makes for softer buttons since you aren't fighting the plastic.What is your opinion on the best wired mouse?

So I use super high resolution and refresh, then turn down mouse sensitivity in the OS to compensate. This way I can go across both screens with very little movement (1/2 to 3/4in mouse movement), but still have pixel level resolution.
"oh but gaming...!"
I can spin around 180 degrees and headshot someone no problem, however you need to build up to it. Most people do not have the dexterity from the start to do such precise movements at rapid speed, it takes practice.
I'll throw my vote in for the G900.
Damn Ray, never figured you for the G900 type....you use a Razer keyboard too?? lol

10K DPI all day, lights off, use both sets of side buttons
I use dual screens (1920x1200) for cad work all day just barely move my hand to go from edge to edge.
Thanks for the info! But... where did you read about bluetooth? I can't find it anywhere.. I want to believe you, it would be friggin awesome. But I can't find it.I ran Powertop and checked what the system was pulling when using both.
10-4 LeslieAnn, I can't stomach $130 on a mouse tho...What do you recommend for playing/botting Diablo?Watch for them on sale, I paid $106, but I believe they have been found for as low as $79 on occasion.

Not 100% perfect or foolproof (the power draw is pretty low regardless), but the results were drastic enough to be noticeable.10-4 LeslieAnn, I can't stomach $130 on a mouse tho...What do you recommend for playing/botting Diablo?Watch for them on sale, I paid $106, but I believe they have been found for as low as $79 on occasion.
The G403 or G700 are probably the next best thing.
The G700 is great, but battery life is far below what a G403 and G900 is.

Hmm, looks like they're $95 on ebay....tempting.

I swear, I have no idea why this idea keeps popping up.
You just brought it back up, that post is a couple months old, as is this entire thread.
for those who are looking to get a wireless mouse,
logitech has released the G703 and G903. essentially they're similar to the G403 and G900, but they feature a wireless charging mouse mat. "powerplay" is what they call the tech:
I tried switching my G900 to those lower DPI's and yeah....I have to pick my mouse up move it, pick it up...move it
I guess it's whatever you get used to. :shrug:I tried switching my G900 to those lower DPI's and yeah....I have to pick my mouse up move it, pick it up...move it
I honestly want to know wtf is wrong with me. I can't go above 800 dpi, and I have 3x 4k screens (used to have 3x 30"). I can't even imaging 8k dpi. Like, my brain can't process actually being able to use a DPI that high
Some people lack the dexterity to move at such tiny increments.I guess it's whatever you get used to. :shrug:I tried switching my G900 to those lower DPI's and yeah....I have to pick my mouse up move it, pick it up...move it

On a side note I'm now going to try the G403.

Yeah, I am not far off. I am running about 2500-3000. I saw someone earlier said they set theirs at 10k. Hats off to them. I can't do it.I guess it's whatever you get used to. :shrug:I tried switching my G900 to those lower DPI's and yeah....I have to pick my mouse up move it, pick it up...move it

Just some perspective on how small of a distance I move my mouse.Looks about right to me. :))

Well I've got dual 24" 1920x1200 monitors and DPI is currently 9900Just some perspective on how small of a distance I move my mouse.Looks about right to me. :))
Dpi should be at least 2x the width of the resolution for that kind of distance..
