Hi all,

Has anyone bought one of these lastest Logitech MX 5000 Bluetooth Keyboard &Laser Mouse MX1000 and are they any good in games?
 
While I have the MX900 on one of my computers, I think BT is not the best thing when it comes to games. I enjoy my G15 and G7 combination....

if you game, DO NOT buy the mx5000 keyboard mouse combo! I bought it a few months ago and it was hooooorrible. the lag is just unbelievable. if you dont touch your keyboard or mouse and then you go and press a key, 1 sec later it would register on the screen, same goes with the mouse movement. I believe its due to the sleep mode that it goes into. bluetooth sounds cool but just sucks for gaming. I returned it, and got the g15 keyboard and then got myself the g5 and g7 mouse, best i've ever used. go with either one of those.
 
i had mx5000 for about 2 days, i would stay away from like the plague

here are few things that happened

1) constand disconnects
2) keyboard likes to go to sleep often, takes about 2-3 seconds to wake up.
3) few times i had to wait for the keyboard to "catch up" to my typing.
4) for some weird unknow reason, when people logged in messenger live, and i got that pop-up, mouse started lagging like crazy
5) when moving the mouse across the screen, you could clearly see that it was skipping across, movement wasn't fluid
6)BT added 4 extra appz running in the background (not counting setpoint)
7)when computer started, after loggin on, keyboard and mouse was not respoding for about 30-40 seconds, every single time

in case you wondering i tried the USB BT receiver, in back of case, in front, on top of case, in usb hub, in back of my monitor, on side of my monitor, and 5 inches away from the keyboard on usb extension cable, position of the usb receiver made no difference.
 
Thanks all, It sounds quite bad for an expensive combo I will be looking at the G15
now
