Title: Wireless keyboard/mouse
Post by: Tarmac on May 05, 2003, 07:15:51 PM: Anybody using one?

I'm looking at the Logitech cordless MX duo shown here:

The MX mouse is supposedly better for games than Logitech's old cordless mouse. I also like the rechargeable idea.

Input?

I have some mx300's and 500's and they're great for gaming and such.

I've noticed no lag. the only real problem is if you let the tower get between the mouse and the reciever you sometimes get problems. (although that is no worse than hitting the end of the cord on a regular mouse).

the only thing I really miss about my old keyboard is it had usb ports on the back, the where very handy.

(Made by Trust, cheap and cheerful but was the only optical/wireless/rechargable mouse on the market when I bought it)

You just need to remember to put it on charge overnight and keep a spare set of batteries for when you forget. Lasts all day with constant use and it's one less set of wires which can't be a bad thing. Love it, wouldn't be without it. Biggest difference between brands is probably the shape so go for the one that best fits your hand is my one nugget of advise.

I've noticed no lag at all BTW.

im using the MX700, its a very good mouse. no lag that i notice.
rechargeable, lasts 4 days 1 charge. 15 mins charge gets u 1 day use. been thinking of getting the wireless KB to go with it.

I chose it over another MS cordless one because the signal receiver acts as a rechargeable docking station so I don't have to fork out on batteries and as Whels said the battery life is very good.
