Hey all.
I know this particular forum is for hardware "troubleshooting", and not that I have "problem", but just kinda figured this was the best forum to come to out of all the others with what I have to ask.
It has to do with pc gaming, but on these boards here on this site, the actual forum of PC Gaming seems more geared towards the games themselves rather than a piece of hardware.....like a mouse!!!!
I do a fair amount of pc gaming which includes action first-person shooters, and I'll be getting a gaming keyboard, so, figured I'd go with the whole package and look into a gaming mouse, too.
When I googled some searches on "best gaming mouse", a couple of the name brands that popped up were "Logitech" and "Razer". I've heard of both of these brands (and way in the past I had a "standard" Logitech mouse). For years I've been using various Microsoft mice, and recently wireless, optical ones with that ergonomic design.
I guess what surprised me on my searches with the Logitech and Razer results was that the mice themselves were "wired" and not wireless. I know they say you should never assume, but I had assumed that gaming mice would want to lend themselves to freedom of movement, so I thought my results from my search would have me looking at wireless mice.
On some of my search results there were some wireless gaming mice, but a fair amount (majority) were wired mice.
What do you think? Does this just come down to a matter of personal preference, or, according to the "expert" gamers out there, is there a more preferred type of mouse when it comes to wired or wireless? Is one really better than the other and give a more precise, quicker response?
Appreciate any helpful, insightful responses.......especially if you've had experience with both wired and wireless gaming mice!!!
Thanks,
Pez
