Logitech Performance Mouse

[Matt]

Had my new mouse for just over 2 weeks now, and I have to say, it's a big improvement over the old one.

Because I work 12 hour shifts, I like to have something nice and comfortable to use, and this sits very nice in the hand, and is very responsive. Battery doesn't seem to last very long (few days with constant 12 hour usage), but charges pretty quick (<1 hour) via the USB cable.

Sexy mouse!
I bought a Roccat Kone XTD mouse a couple of years ago now

I bought it and thought..why the heck did I just spend £70 on a mouse?
But, two years later and it's worked flawlessly
Can't stand wireless mice myself, could never get used to the lag between movements.

Top great looking mice 😃

Mine looks very basic by comparison. It is this one: http://www.ttesports.com/Mouse/14/AZURUES/productPage.htm?a=a&g=ftr#.VEPpedEtCHs
It is about two years old and it still works fine. The design changed a bit because mine has a TT instead of that dragon on the newer mouse.

Can't stand wireless mice myself, could never get used to the lag between movements.

Same for me and I even had troubles with a wireless mouse deleting some files by mistake because of the lag while I was using SSH. Never again!

Hahah, wireless mouse goes on the rampage! 😛
It's possible things have improved since, I mean there was a time I had to have wired/ethernet in the house, I would never go for wireless networking, but now, with Fibre and Wireless AC, I'd never go back to Wired/Ethernet.

Indeed.
But I am still not convinced after reading Matt's post about the poor battery life 😱
Of course we could use a main powered wireless (to the computer) mouse if such a thing exists...

Or wait until a company finally releases wireless electricity, you could have a charging platform under your desk which powers not only the mouse/keyboard, but also the screen and maybe even the PC/Mac itself.
It's not far off, assuming it's not dangerous lol.

No, just some risk of infertility and brain tumours but beside that, it should be fine!

Risk of brain tumours and/or infertility....VS....need to charge iPhone, keyboard and mouse..
Hmm..I dunno, I don't like having to keep plugging in my iPhone! 😛

This thread went nicely fully off topic lol

I think the new iPhone Plus has a much larger battery 😉
Talking about wireless charger etc, I remember reading that some electric cars could be charged wirelessly by just parking it above the charger. Not bad.

You can get a charging "pad" for the Sony Xperia that I have. You need to use the charging case as well.

On the topic of lag on the wireless mice, there is zero lag on these. Logitech use a new unifying receiver, and using the wireless mouse and keyboard with mine
