So I've got this wireless thing just for the logitech keyboard which isn't really that good either. It's just a tad smaller than the MS keyboard...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-60942664745654796892003-12-09T02:51:00.007+00:002003-12-09T02:51:00.007+00:00Logitech USB Mouseman with the blue light for me. ...Logitech USB Mouseman with the blue light for me.

I've got an MX 500 and while the resolution seems to be much better than a wired Logitech dual optical, it's kind of jerky like it's not updating at 125Hz (which I thought they did) and in games it's often just kind of started lagging too.

So yeah, it should be the same. If you were going to have a cordless, it's clearly the one to own. The thing is, I've got the older Logitech dual optical and I prefer its look, shape and lack of superfluous buttons. The cable doesn't bother me either.

Never been that impressed with cordless stuff before - they always seemed to add that little bit of extra latency to movement which could screw you in something like Quake3 or CS.
