Who's the cutest little mouse? Yes you are!

Surprisingly, the mouse that brought me into the wireless world was the Atheris. I say surprisingly because this was before Razer™️ HyperSpeed Wireless. Don't get me wrong, it was still our tech, but it was unassuming like the mouse was; powered by batteries, great for travel, no Chroma. But it showed me that having a wireless mouse wasn't an issue when it came to gaming. I'm no pro gamer, and I certainly didn't notice any issues with lag. So when we started dropping new mice with wireless tech, Razer™️ HyperSpeed Wireless tech to be exact, I was already on board. I would miss my mouse bungee terribly, but it was worth the new Chroma mouse dock and wireless gaming.

Are you still wired? Is it a choice? Have you encountered any problems? I'd love to know your thoughts. This is your Thread of the Week. Like and comment for a chance at the random "Great" achievement. Two additional comments with great feedback will get the repeatable "Nice" achievement.

i refuse to use wireless mouse...

I shared your opinion for years, until I got a Basilisk Ultimate with charging dock last month.
I had my fears of lag and poor battery life.

All were blow away as fast as it's charging speed.

Even with RGB effects, it's still last for quite long, just have to put it on the dock on loading screens and I've seen no lag until now.
My bad for english mistakes but i try my best.

I'm still using my first gaming mouse - a Deathadder 2013. A wireless mouse, while cool (who likes wires? *chirping crickets*), seems a little wasteful and unnecessary for my desktop setup. I don't have a laptop. If I did, it would make more sense (for portability reasons). Having another device to charge isn't ideal.

I think it's the best and good looking choice for the office work, it kinda makes you to work with it!

Hello friends,

I prefer the peripherals with wires, because they are cheap, easier to manufacture, there is less breakdown and wear without battery and bluetooth receiver.
They are more ecological, recycling is facilitated.
There is also one thing that I think is important regarding the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
In France, we think of the principle of precotion, I avoid submitting my body too much to waves (WIFI, BT, TV Radio, 3G, 4G, 5G).
The waves are everywhere and we still do not know if it can be harmful to health if we use too much.
It's not fear, just caution, everyone is free to make these choices. :)
So I limit my exposures. I do the same for the tan, you have to be careful, even if I love it. lol

The only thing I don't limit is Razer Quartz edition. ^ _ ^

I'm still wired and it's by choice. I like the idea of wireless but the added cost doesn't offer much benefit for me. I don't travel much so I have little need for going wireless. Plus the cost difference is a factor for me as well. I heavily debated on going with the Basilisk Ultimate over the Basilisk V2 (which is my current setup) but decided to save some coin and went with the V2 since they are practically identical minus the wireless feature and the side light (boy I wish the v2 had that!).

I might go wireless for my next build, it's hard to say though because mice usually last me several years. I may pick up something wireless on a whim one day just for the heck of it. That Viper ultimate is pretty darn enticing.

I've always been a wired-only partisan.
I have awful memories of the first experiences that I had with wireless mouse in the late 90's.
So much that I've rejected all wireless material, regardless of what it is and it's quality.
Even when seing technology evolution and some great reviews about it.

At least until recently.
I took advantage of the 10% offer on Zsilver price to redeem a Basilisk Ultimate with Charging Dock.
The day i received it changed my life.
My bad for english mistakes but i try my best.

Wish I could afford some of these Razer stuff. Even one should be enough.
Ralphtherap's Laptop isn't good for you.

The first wireless mouse is some cheap China made mouse cost less than $5. But it was surprisingly great for typical usage. I like the design of Razer's mouse in general but very few wireless options in the market. Even it launched a bunch of hyperspeed options, the price was too aggressive.

Either way, I would still prefer wireless rather than wire. Portability is important!

I just go wired because it doesn't bother me much and it is usually cheaper. Wired is only a problem when my desk is messy and my mouse gets caught on something which rarely happens.

I'm still wired and it's only a choice of whether I have the cash for a wireless or not. Personally I'm a traditionalist so I like them wired. You should take a look at the 2 cables for my Goliathus and DA Elite. They are perfectly aligned all the time with the latter's cable nicely tucked under the former's cable management catch.

It pleases my OCD :cool_:

I currently have a VicTsing 2.4g wireless optical mouse. I think it's branded more towards "normal" computer users because it's not the best for gaming. Sometimes I move the mouse and it doesn't even respond or it responds too late. I should invest in a Razer mouse soon. I'm pro-wireless because of cables getting in the way and stuff like that so maybe an Atheris or Deathadder pro will do the trick for me.

I've slowly started to move towards wireless.
My first wireless mouse was the MX Master 2, which was... okay.
Then I got the Atheris, which was *great*. After that, I started trusting wireless, and now have a Basilisk Ultimate and Pro Click.
My desk thanks me for not having cables haphazardly strewn about.

Still running wired.
Had an Logitech MX1000 years ago that I really liked. But with the release of WoW and running raids it did run out of battery a couple of times and the only way to charge it was to let it sit in its dock which caused problems when the mouse suddenly died. Had a cheaper wireless for my notebook that had AAA batteries, but when that broke down I used a wired mouse instead.
