Best Wireless Gaming Mouse

Mega-Japan · May 28, 2011

Before all else, I don't play shooter, so all that thing about wired mice are better for precision don't apply to me. I can't see myself playing with a wired mouse nowadays. I currently have the Logitech M505 Laser Mouse for my laptop, which has been great so far. Have played several games with it and had no issues.

Now I'm looking for a mouse for my desktop. It must be wireless, it must be laser, and it must have a good battery life. Thanks all.

How much you willing to spend? I've always liked razer mice, but their wireless ones (which you can actually choose to be wireless or wired) are $100+. I've heard that the Cyborg R.A.T is good, and there is a wireless version of that. Logitech, of course, makes good mice.

Right now I'm taking any price into consideration. Unless it's down straight ridiculous. I checked the razer one and I think they're a little overkill for my taste, at least the 2 or 3 wireless ones I saw. As for the Cyborg ones, they look nice, but their only wireless one, its battery life is awful. Thanks for the tips though.

I looked into it. Looks great as far as visuals go, but I couldn't find any information regarding the battery life. Do you own it? If so, how is it?

+1, my batteries died today and im too lazy to go and get new ones, im in pain here with this wire, before the batteries died, the mouse from my logitech EX110 was doing a pretty good job in Battlefield BC2 before it died

if the problem is the mouse cable hooking on the desk, u can buy a weight to secure the bulk of the cable on the desk

idk on lower DPI, but at highest, it lasts me a day of use, something like 8 hours or so...

but there is a charger so all you gotta do is switch the batteries from charger to mouse and vice versa (comes with 4 rechargeable batteries)

or you can try making your own or buying a mouse bungee

I think that materials should be pretty easy to get hold of in the U.S all you need is a heavy base/anchor and some long springs.

something like this should be piss easy to make on your own. If not then have a look at a Logitech G700

I can recommend the sidewinder x8 from Microsoft. Best battery life of all gaming wireless mice, affordable, excelent charging system. It uses blue track technology which apparently works very well on all surfaces. I'm very pleased with it, got it since ten months, replaced the battery 3 months ago and everything is working great. (regular rechargable battery)
