Capman Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I would guess back and forward buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma TriX 0978 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 eh i think wireless is still in stages. I never really liked it. 2 pairs of both wireless keyboards and mouses have failed on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really liked it. 2 pairs of both wireless keyboards and mouses have failed on me <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bummer. I've been thinking about getting a wireless mouse soon. I'm tired of fighting with the darn cord all the time. @Sniper. It looks nice. Makes me want one even more. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The batteries recharge when you put it in the dock for the night. Uses 2 AA Nickel Metal Hydride and should last about 3 weeks without charging. Got it for $35 US at WalMart.

lokoike Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Uses 2 AA Nickel Metal Hydride and should last about 3 weeks without charging. Got it for $35 US at WalMart. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It uses NiMHs? I figured most use Lithium ion by now. They don't wear out as fast. But a three week charge is excellent! But like Ma TriX 0978, I'm really not a big fan of wireless keyboards/mice. I hate having to keep up with charging a dozen different devices with batteries. And then you have to worry about them developing memory if you charge them too much, and it just gets to be a huge pain. Not to mention, the battery usually triples or quadruples the weight of the unit. I'll stick with my wired mouse/keyboard any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Tarun Posted March 1, 2006 Administrator Share Posted March 1, 2006 As a gamer, it's a rule of thumb to avoid wireless because there are far too many issues. Though, if you're not good with FPS, etc; then you have something you can blame it on. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, if you're not good with FPS, etc; then you have something you can blame it on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wholeheartedly agree. It was very annoying to have my mouse and my keyboard on the same channel -- I couldn't move and shoot at the same time! That and the annoying fact that if I tried moving, jumping, spinning the mouse and shooting at the same time, my wireless connection would lag! Back to wires.
