Wireless Addons


What do you guys think of these like wireless mouse or keyboard. I was thinking of looking into it but I wanted to know what you guys think my personal option until now has been I didn't really care and didn't to much like them but I was wounding what you guy though.

You're into games, so I'd advise against them for that purpose. Wireless keyboards and mice have a transmission delay, which is a killer in games. But they're fine for normal typing and the likes. Batteries are another expense, but I don't think they're heavy on them.

Good point. I don't know I haven't ever really been interested in wireless devices with the exemption of my Linksys Router that something I think really did work out good for me. But then again My Gaming PC is still hard wired to the router and not on the wireless network. I just thought I would get other option before I decided one way or another. Thanks for the help.

Two of my old housemates used to have them and they loved it. The flashing LED and continuous battery changes would annoy me a bit, but that is just a minor problem. The particular model of mouse my friend had didn't have a ball so it could be used on any surface and responded really well.

Oh yes the optical mouse that’s what I have it's not wireless but I love it just the same. I know that I will never go back to an older style mouse again.
