Wireless vs Wired mice
- Thread starter Mace

I'm not sure about the battery as I have only had the MX700 but with newer wireless mice any lag is un-noticeable. The only issue is when you have lots of wireless devices in the vicinity but usually that should be ok.
Look at a few reviews of the mouse and see what they say.
I have wireless mice for a couple of years (MX700 and V500 both from logitech and both great mice) before going back to wired with the Diamondback. No particular reason, just wanted to try something different.

i ran a MS Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 for a couple years, and i liked it very much. i only replaced the batteries every 5-6 months. every once in a while (maybe once every 2 months), the action would become a bit jittery, as if it were getting interference. usually it went away within a few minutes after switching "channels". there were also occasional delays when moving the mouse after a period of inactivity. regardless, i still really liked this mouse.
before the MS mouse, i had been using a Logitech Wingman gaming mouse (anyone remember these??) for several years, and while it was a real trooper, and one of the best ball-mice, maintenance was annoying and the dpi wasn't too hot. after building a new PC, i decided it was time for a new "gaming" mouse, and i chose the Razer Diamondback. the difference btwn. it and the MS mouse is HUGE. obviously the MX1000 is going to be different, but if you're considering wired, give this mouse a chance. amazing response, fits like a glove (in my hand, anyway), and on Newegg, the price couldn't be beat.
if you decide to go wireless, i don't believe you'll notice much latency, as today's models are excellent, both on action and power consumption. good luck to you!
