A good wireless gaming mouse?
So I want a wireless mouse, the idea is smexy, but I've heard bad things about wireless...

I'd be using this to game so having it slow up midgame would be terrible. I'd want like 9 hour strong battery life less is fine this isn't a big issue... Being able to easily charge it would be nice perhaps just setting it in a tray or something when not in use, it MUST NOT use unreachable batteries. It has to be hand conforming, lots of mice are like it, my current mouse is an Alienware TactX Mouse, and I really like the shape of it, I haven't tried any other shaped gaming mice.


Thanks in advanced for any replies ^^

Razer mamba, expensive but worth it. 14 hour battery life, 3 hours charge time. Google for full review. cba to type a large paragraph.

Gaming Wireless Mouse is kinda an oximoron:

-More expensive
-Heavier - because of the battery(es)
-Less responsive signal - Wireless can be less responsive overall due to lag.
-Battery charging can be a turnoff for a lot of us, over a period of time. Specially when its low on critical situations.

And it's daaaaaamn sexy. Also has it own charging stand.
If you run out of batteries, you can keep playing with the USB cable, which also charges it.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Also insane dpi, 5600 if I remember right, it's been a while.

And high price. Over 100 retail. See if there are any sales.

If I coulda rebought a mouse, it would be the mamba. Deathadder is great but all that wireless sexiness....

Edit: in response to genki's points:
those are true overall but the mamba fixes most of the issues. Charging is taken care of by the cable. The response is still 1ms over wireless (which might be why it drains battery faster than the logitech mice? Just a guess) and it really isn't that heavy. Plus, a little bit of mass in the mouse can be preferrable to counter hand trembling, small movements.

For most wireless mice, those are valid points though. Had a logitech before my deathadder, and I can't go back, even though it was one of the nicer mice they made.

Barely. My Mamba cost only slightly more than my G9 did back when I bought it.

I wouldn't say so. Plus, I put the weights in my G9, so Mamba is way lighter.

Not correct at all! Mamba has 1ms poll speed.

Not really, if I ever run out of batterys I just plug the cord straight in to the mouse, so then it is just like a wired mouse. Then I leave it plugged in over night, and then I can just unplug again in the morning.

I own it for a mac (Which now has games) and love it. Even my friend wants to buy it now.
You can charge and play too so you will never need to wait for it to charge.
