So I wasn't following SC2 too much lately but when watched IEM I saw so many pros using wireless mouse (Reynor, TIME, Maru etc.). Last time I checked everyone and their mom were using wired mouse with bungee. I remember everyone were against wireless because what you gonna do if suddenly battery dies or connection lost? When this started to become a thing?

You made me laugh so much but it is true, I still always go for wired Mouse and Keyboard. The thing is not only connection lose or battery but also response, I feel the answer could be reduced and as long as I won't be losing any tournament is weird to see pros going for them

logitech g pro wireless is standard for fps esports players, especially the new superlight version. i have a regular g pro wireless and i could never go back to using a corded mouse. also it has ridiculous battery life, a single charge can last something crazy, like 10-12 hours?

When wireless mice switched from bluetooth to wifi. Once that happened delay and connection became way less of an issue.

Wireless is so much nicer to play with IMO.

I noticed that too!!

If anyone is interested, you can get the Logitech Wireless Pro for $50 if you don't mind the blue League of Legends branding. I think it's very much worth the $50 personally. The normal black and white colors usually still go for $75+, so a pretty hefty discount on the blue ones!

You don't realize how nice it is until your cable is gone and you're like, "wow that sure was annoying".

These days wifi mice can get enough charge to play a match uninterrupted in under 60 seconds, so running out of battery really isn't an issue. If you were really worried you could just plug it in between games. But wireless mice are theoretically better if the response time is low because you don't have the cable giving you a variable force on the front of your mouse so your mouse accuracy should theoretically increase.

Is there some super nerdy FPS-gamer spreadsheet that has the click actuation stats for gaming mice? I gave myself a wrist injury when I changed to a mouse that had just slightly too heavy clicks once

been using a glorious model o wireless for a few months now after switching from a Razer Deathadder. It took me a little while to get use to the sensitivity and the placement of the wireless receiver, but I love it.

Logitech G305 works around 3 months on a single AA battery and it still works for a couple of days after starting blinking red. I don't think it suddenly switched off even once for the few years I use it. I mean, one $5 battery pack supplies you for 3 years.

many wireless mice are now claiming lower latency than wired connections. this is the main issue, assuming with enough preparation you can avoid the power issue.

for example, the Logitech "LightSpeed" technology is claiming just this. Here is a good reddit thread I found about some test results.

gotta make sure to check that I'm getting light-press switches if I ever go shopping for new mice

mouse bungees SUCK. why did pros ever use them in the first place? you get way higher resistance from a mouse bungee than if you just let the cable curl up loosey goosey on your desk (assuming the cable is long enough). I saw hero with the wireless superlight pro and ended up buying one. charges from 0 to 100% in 5 minutes. it's so sexy. worth the money imo

Idk if the connection is functionally equivalent but I think high end wireless mice are almost as responsive as wired mice these days. and alot of competitive gamers show a strong preference for ultralight weight mice and no cord, this is to make moving the mouse smooth and consistent.

IMO your playing surface and the mouses friction coefficient impact this way more. I think that if you have a playing surface your comfortable with, then a lot of it just comes down to grip and feel preference.

I still prefer wired mice though, maybe I'm just used to it. I use a razer naga (i think this is still Lambos go to mouse, but maybe not anymore). Not so much for the buttons but the finger grip on the right. I have always found that using a claw grip on mice is uncomfortable for long gaming sessions, but it can be harder to get precise control with a palm grip, the finger grip solved this problem for me since I can squeez the mouse between my fingers and my thumb without needing to contract my joints for long periods of time. it also feels like your pointing at something which I like.

If all the pro gamers like in various e-sports can perform with a wireless mice, then so can you. CS:GO, LoL, SC2, a lot of players in those games use wireless mice. It's crazy watching CS:GO players flick like that.

Logitech G Pro Wireless 95 €
Logitech G305 45 €

There are setups like wireless mouse + mousepad with wireless charging option, so the battery is not an issue

I've started to use Mamba Wireless like a year ago, happy with it for gaming and casual purposes, and you can happily play FPS/RTS

We prolly haven't noticed how the quality of the wireless devices raised significantly in last years

Absolutely. All these kids and their wireless devices, how many OSLs and MSLs have been won with a wireless mouse? Yeah didn't think so
