For Logitech MX1000 laser mouse owners

To keep the cost down.

Because they think you cannot handle setting up a cordless device?

I mean seriously. If you had so much trouble with your cordless
keyboard which required inserting two AA batteries into the
battery compartment, you might be totally stumped by a cordless
mouse.

Good luck

Keep talking out of your arse, that's all you're good at.

take yourself back to the weenie group , if I spent a ton of money on
something for no reason, I guess I would defend it to the limit.... you've
done your duty...now go back to pac man and ....f*ck all?
 
becuase people like you believe thier own BS and buy them....sucker

Do some research dillweed and put the copy of PCMag down - it's for
junior office boys who know sweet **** all about gaming.
 
Then there is something wrong with my Logitech wireless keyboard
because it would need new batteries every few months, or I use my PC
*much* more than you do. Take your pick.

I use my PC EVERYDAY for hours and I have not changed it's batteries
in almost a year now.
 
Facts, just the facts. Look it up sometime. Explain to me why
Logitech's "GAMER'S" mouse (518) is corded, explain to me why Razor
"GAMER'S" mice are corded, explain to me why Saitek's "GAMER'S"
keyboard is corded? Think about it, wireless will always have a slight
delay by it's very nature and will never match a corded device. Send
an email to Logitech and ask them for their "opinion", they didn't
call the MX518 corded mouse a "gamers" mouse just for the hell of it.

Look up the word "marketing" you seem to have fallen for it hook line
and sinker baby! Here is a hint for you: Yes they would call it a
"gamers" mouse just for the hell of it.

If Logitech comes out with a cordless laser mouse tomorrow and calls
it the "Super Gamers Deluxe mouse " what will you do ? Probably the
same thing you would do if someone stuck you in a round room and told
you to piss in the corner.

Personally I worry more about the lag from the net far more than the
9999999 milliseconds if perceived lag from my mouse.
 
Batteries cost money. I killed two birds with one stone, bought an
MX518, now I don't need batteries and I have a more responsive mouse.

Your key board cost money and your mouse isn't any more responsive
than a MX1000.

LOL, you should talk.

As for the MX1000, my observation about the MX1000 is based on what I have
read on various Internet tech forums. To be fair, not everyone experiences
the issue, but a lot of people have.

And no, I don't like cordless mice, but my original post was not based on
that.

What I have done to combat this sort of problem is I have created a short
loop with the cord on my desk. I agree it can be annoying when you need to
tug the mouse cord, but this gets around the problem. Also, when I hook up
the wires to my computer, the mouse is usually the last thing I plug in.
This way, it doesn't get entangled with the rest of the rat's nest. :-)
 
Up to 1600 DPI at the push of a button. That's a fact, not an opinion.

"Now for the tests, to see whether all this technology really makes a
difference in real life. We compared the laser mouse with the MX 510,
the most precise mouse available as of today. We tried both models on
the latest FPS games - UT 2004, Doom 3 and FarCry. First off, I gave
the mouse to several players to try with these games and the reaction
was unanimous: the MX 1000 is better. It's not just a matter of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
precision in movement, but overall precision. This mouse reacts to
your every movement. Your hand movements correspond very exactly to
those of the character on the screen. The traditional test - making a
half-turn followed by aiming through the scope in FarCry - confirms
the impression. You gain in speed because targeting a point just after
a rapid movement is astoundingly easy. We then tested the MX 1000 on
retouching a picture in Photoshop, and the conclusion is the same.
Zeroing in on a spot with millimeter precision is uncannily easy.

And Faster To Boot

An interesting corollary of this diabolical precision is that it's
possible to use a higher resolution than with another mouse. As soon
as you increase the pointer speed (CPI), the mouse moves across the
screen faster, but you lose preciseness on small movements. But since
the MX is fundamentally more precise, you can move faster without
problems. I moved the cursor almost to the maximum (not far from 800
CPI) with a 1280x1024 resolution. Compared to other mice, you'll have
less physical distance to cover while maintaining the same precision.
This means you'll be faster on games and other graphics-based
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
applications.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The verdict is clear. Not only is the laser mouse more precise than
the preceding generation, but its general handling is exceptional.
Everybody who tried it wants one. And that's in comparison with the
best LED optical mouse on the market, the MX 510.
If you compare with a standard mouse, the difference is like night and
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
day.

That was a pointless troll.
 
Then why consider your opinion on this subject worthwhile reading?
Click to expand...

Because I own an MX700 and I own speech recognition software - I
rejected both and for good reasons. Both have weaknesses. A corded
mouse is superior to a cordless mouse when it comes to preciseness and
speed, speech recognition software is not 100% fault free which makes
it 100% useless. My opinion is of merit.

Which keyboard? I bought the MX700 Duo and my keyboard doesn't last
anymore than a few months on the batteries. Maybe I got a duff
keyboard, I've already suggested that.

No. You look up the MX518 and read what it can do for a gamer then get
back to me.

Bollocks! I was talking the MX518 which can do 1600DPI. The 510 can
only do 800DPI. And I'm reading lots of complaints of skipping
problems with the MX1000 so Tom's Hardware talks shit, once again.
With the MX518 I can change the DPI setting at will which allows me to
adjust the sensitivity during gameplay so that I can use various
settings for sniper mode etc. That's what makes it the best gaming
mouse on the market, and the fact it is cordless means no more
recharging crap and added weight due to batteries.
