Never mind gaming.

Wireless mice in general are shit. Every one I've used the battery runs out in a month or two. And I've had both cheap $10 mice and MS ones for $50.

I stick with a wired one.

I have had the Logitech g305 wireless since launch (May 2018) and have replaced the battery once. And that battery was actually a AAA battery using an adapter for AA so I could have a smaller, lighter battery. Logitech has an insanely power efficient sensor that is top notch. Logitech essentially has the wireless game on lock because nobody at the moment can compete with their combination of power efficiency and mouse weight. Wireless mice from other brands are much heavier because they need bigger batteries. My g305 is 85 grams and lasts forever with 1 AAA battery.

I moved to a Logitech G903 and will probably never buy wired again. There's no difference in input lag for me.

Same here.

I use a wireless mechanical from logitech and the g305 for my htpc and it's just awesome.

Must be bandwidth pollution. No way i hell you can perceive BT latency.
Wifi on other hand is known to have build in latency and you can quickly test it by just connecting your pc to router via cable and check network latency. I go from 30ms to 5ms.

The second foot is hardware itself. Just because something receives signal via Bt doesn't mean it will process it fast enough or send it fast enough. I used to have shitty bt mouse few years back that would lag but once i switched to MX Master from logitech all those woes went away

2.4ghz mice and keyboards like the Logitech I own can definitely be glitchy if there is some kind of obstruction. I had my pc behind the tv and apparently the sheets of metal in the tv are bad (I solved it by using usb extenders I had laying around) Also expect misbehavior as a function of longer distances. I think you would have to be in a very 2.4ghz WiFi heavy apartment building for interference to be a problem though due to frequency hopping and low data rate those devices require

My reaction time isn't that great, but after getting a Logitech ms master s2 I could never use a wire mouse again.

 

[MisterBrimstone]

Not really. That's an old notion from old wireless mouses that just weren't tech ready.

Now it's great.

They feel like shit in CAD too.

They should make a fake wired mouse that is actually wireless. Just run an empty braided cord from the wireless dongle to the mouse and see who can tell it is wireless.

Well I think they should make a fake wireless mouse that is actually wired. Just cut off the wire so it looks wireless, then install the guts from a wireless mouse and see who can tell it is wired.

No one can tell the difference with good wireless mice.

Now, wireless keyboards on the other hand...absolute crap.

the logitech mechanical uses the same wireless tech as the mice. So that means extremely long lasting batteries, light, and low input latency. The keys aren't the best, but I still prefer them to any membrane keyboard.
