it's 2016 and wireless controllers have been a thing for a long time on tonsils I use a wireless Xbox controller for a bunch of games but what about mice why aren't we all using wireless mice for gaming on PC I could just say it's because between TV input lag and cinematic frame rates console players can't tell the difference anyway but while that's actually part of the answer the rest of it is actually less offensive to console gamers and possibly more interesting stay tuned be quiet silent wings three use a smooth-running six pull order to remain silent and better cool your PC check them out at the link below back to our original question for a moment if manufacturers have been pushing wireless technology down our throats for over 10 years now why haven't cordless mice ever really taken off outside of the office one since they're Wireless they're gonna need batteries and that means they can't be all that light a couple of popular gaming mice among competitive gamers like the final Mouse the Logitech G pro they're like seventy and eighty four grams respectively but the G 900 and G 403 Wireless are both 107 grams that's 20% heavier than the G 403 wired version with that said the bodies of other respectable gaming mice like the Razer DeathAdder and SteelSeries rival are actually about the same so wireless mice aren't in a different weight class altogether except for the Mamba that is a whale at 125 grams 2 batteries don't just add weight they also add inconvenience like wired mice never need to be charged and while office grade wireless mice can last months on a pair of disposable batteries wireless gaming mice because of their higher performance hardware and higher polling rates need to be charged several times a week that's kind of inconvenient I I never do it though some of them have handy docks which is a bit more convenient than plugging in a USB connector but it's it takes up valuable desk space that I can populate with action figures or Pop Tarts and on the subject of valuable three wireless mice are much more expensive like while you can get good wired gaming mice for like 20 to 30 dollars if you don't get fancy things like RGB lighting the g4 o3 wireless sits at $99 with higher-end models like the G 900 and razer mamba they're gonna cost you around 150 bucks and what do you get for your money a better gaming experience Johnno what you get is problem number four more input lag at least that used to be the case like okay so far it sounds like this entire video is going to be one long hate session on wireless mice because I'm somes kind of pretentious Gaming Mouse purist but I've actually been using the G 403 Wireless and this was not an easy decision but unlike my previous attempts to go wireless like with the Razer Ouroboros this time I am NOT going back so let's talk about why while I don't have the scientific apparatus to validate their claims Logitech says their Wireless performance is on par or better than wired mice and does this look like a face that would lie to you no but really I haven't seen or felt anything to make me doubt that I don't know this a delay in movement or clicks and I haven't had it disconnect wired mice I'll actually have this to connect because I'll accidentally pull out the cable and this thing this this works even in my apartment with like signals bouncing around everywhere from neighbors and outside of like a crowded LAN party that's probably the worst case scenario for wireless products in general so with no performance issues not having to deal with a cable after so many years of using a mouse bungee or we're taping it to my desk or wrapping it around the lamp it's just awesome I love lightweight mice but I feel like trading some weight for a more full range of motion to make flick shots without knocking over it's finally worth it and while this doesn't solve all of my wireless complaints like I forget to charge my mouse constantly because I'm a bit of a scatterbrain I haven't had it died on me yet because a full charge lasts about twenty-five hours of constant use and I can't play constantly for twenty-five hours and when it gets low it tells you to plug in I just forget but it still works okay but I don't expect you to take my word for it entirely like I'm I'm not a filthy casual like Linus or whatever but there's a reason why people including myself look to the pros and wonder what are they using to win tournaments and you know who just want to turn them in using the g43 Wireless cloud nines automatic they beat SK in the ESL pro league finals and he was if you ignore the salty salty Brazilian SK fans he was the real MVP of the tournament new Mouse big victory coincidence maybe but I think the only reasonable conclusion is that Wireless is the future okay so when all that said not all Wireless is created equal so for the time being the answer is a bit more complicated you may have noticed that this video started out as Wired vs. Wireless and ended up mostly being about Blodgett XP 403 and G 900 the reason for that is that I just can't recommend the other solutions the G 900s price might be off-putting and you might not like the ambidextrous shape and design the g4 3 Wireless is a cheaper more mainstream option but it still comes at a price and weight premium over the wired version I still think they're worth it but some people don't two options can't really kill off Wired gaming mice but they're proof that the technology is here and it's ready are you ready for wireless mice let us know in the comments below
