  Review: A Cordless Mouse for Everyone, Even Gamers
Time: 13:05 EST/18:05 GMT | News Source: ExtremeTech | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Logitech MX700 Cordless mice have traditionally been lousy for gaming -- particularly fast action or real-time strategy gaming. That's because most cordless mice transmit 50-60 samples per second over the radio frequency link that connects them to the base station, which is in turn plugged into the PC. Then there's the whole battery issue -- while you only need to replace the batteries every few months, the timing is often awkward. After all, batteries are never around when you need them.

But the main issue for gamers is the sampling rate. At 50Hz, the sampling rate just isn't fast enough to work with the high frame rate of most modern 3D games, particularly if you have a fast PC and 3D card. So gamers have stuck with tethered mice, with all their annoyances.

Now, with the MX700, Logitech hopes to bring cordless mice on par with the tethered variety. Did they do it? Read on and find out.
