my question for this is which gives less lag i presume that the broadband mouse give less lag, is this lag noticable in games or should i just stick with wires?

BROADBAND mouse? You mean blue tooth?

ANY mouse can be laggy - just depends on the design and the quality. Early wireless mice were very laggy, but any wireless mouse made in the last year by Logitech or MS is going to be fine.

Me personally, I prefer a wired mouse. Don't see the point.

yea i will have to agree... for desk use i dont see the point of wireless. now if its a desk PC that also has a tv hooked up to it as a second display then wireless make sense.

If you have a cat or 2 that sit on your desktop then you'll see the point having of a wireless mouse. :)

I have wireless mice for every desktop and laptop here and I'll never go back to wired mice. They're also fine in games but the new lazer MX 1000 is my best.

Wireless ARE now IMHO. No more laggy than my older wired mice.

I can still kick ass in CS:S with the best of them with my wireless MX700, so I wouldn't worry about it

I'm using an older Logitch wireless mouse actually, and damn its lag-free the lag issues were due mostly to the software and not the actual hardware

soz but even the new mice that are out at the moment that i have tried, are not even close to the performance of the wired mouse i use at the moment.

Very Strange

I have my MX1000 and I would never go back to a regular corded mouse for gaming. Even before with my MX700 I would not have gone back to a corded mouse. I've never noticed any "lag" when gaming or anything else of the sort. Now I have used some mother mice, the wireless MX Explorer, and experienced lag, but certainly not with the MX700 or MX1000.

I have the MX700 Combo and can't tell the difference between it and a wired mouse. Well except for the lack of a cord.

I now have two MX 1000s, one for my new laptop too and they both work like a dream.
BTW, in the event that anyone wants one, FP posted a good deal on them ($25 off) in the Sizzlin' Deals forum here: They're normally $80 everywhere.

My old wireless mice are Logitech Mousemen w wheel (and thumb button which I really got to like). They've never been laggy in games either on any PC. Those are now used on my other 2 older computers.
