Not all. I had Cordless Desktop Pro and had to replace my batteries
about once every three months.
I now use corded again, in the end it became irritating to run out of
power - there were never any batteries at home when I most needed
them.

Have you ever heard of an assembly line?

In the mouse, yes. In the keyboard, no.

Have you ever heard of rechargeable batteries?

It takes some sophistication.

Because I own an MX700 and I own speech recognition software - I
rejected both and for good reasons. Both have weaknesses. A corded
mouse is superior to a cordless mouse when it comes to preciseness and
speed, speech recognition software is not 100% fault free which makes
it 100% useless. My opinion is of merit.

All wireless devices have some lag. Whether you notice it or not is
another matter.

Which keyboard? I bought the MX700 Duo and my keyboard doesn't last
anymore than a few months on the batteries. Maybe I got a duff
keyboard, I've already suggested that.

No. You look up the MX518 and read what it can do for a gamer then get
back to me.

You're comparing an MX510 to an MX1000. Compare 518 not 510. MX1000
has skipping issues going by what I read at that forum posted in this
thread. With 518 I can run it at various DPI settings on the fly up to
1600 DPI, 510 only does 800 DPI. Different games are sometimes better
at lower or higher DPI settings, when sniping you may want to lower
the DPI for more finer control. That's why it's called a "gamer's"
mouse. I can get the 510 for $29.99 CAD right now, the 518 goes for
$59.99 CAD. There's a reason it costs more.

Well, your 83 year old neighbour wouldn't notice the 10 milliseconds
of lag in the mouse anyway so cordless is the way to go.

What 10 ms lag are you talking about?

So your dozens of troll posts in this thread "For Logitech MX1000
laser mouse owners" are based on zero experience.

I guess you are just begging to be sold on the mouse.

If you can't notice it what's the problem? And BTW this thread is
about the mx1000 not all wireless devices.
Maybe you could help me out here and give me some FACTS on this lag
that all wireless devices have ? Then tell me the lag of the mx1000.

I have and all it does is change DPI on the fly...BIG WOOOOOP!
But what does that have to do with marketing ? (That's a trick
question BTW)

It must have hit him one to many times in the head. Good thing it
wasn't one of those damn heavy ass cordless ones or he might be dead.

Actually I didn't compare them Tom did. Maybe I'm mistaken here but
the tread is about the MX 1000 not the MX 510.

I think if you think a little you would see that the MX 1000 was
compared to the 510 because it was the current "gamers" mouse at the
time. You said that "gamer" mice had to better for a reason because
they called it a "Gamers mouse" and they would do that for no good
reason. Has you can see from the article that isn't always true.

I say just wait and we'll see a laser with the same ability in the
future and it to will be better than the 518. The fact is that your
opinions are just that.

LOL
Yes it cost more because its the latest model, period.

Thanks, I will!

Now that we have established that you're a kiddie-fiddler and we have access
to your records, what do you propose to do?

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

The question is "what does that do for a gamer?", marketing has
nothing to do with it.
