i quite fancy getting a wireless mouse as i get irritated by the wire catching things and generally annoying me. im pretty happy with the one ive got now though (some 5 button optical thing by chic which cost about a fiver). and a new one would have to be cheap. any recommendations? ideally it wants to be rechargeable in its own little docking bay job, changing batteries sounds like a faff to me. are they generally usb powered if its rechargeable or do they have a 240v adaptor?

and a wireless keyboard would be nice just so i can chuck my keyboard elsewhere when im trying to work as i use my desk for uni stuff as well as computers. again, the one i have now is fine (picked up for free from some office chuck out). again, any recommendations?

last thing, is there any problems with lag/interference/missed clicks etc when using wireless.

wow, i'm so good at talking sh*t...

yes. wasnt really considering infra red.

also who are those peeps who make them luvly mouse pads? ice tech or something? i remember they werent too cheap tho, are there any cheaper alternatives?

everglide mouse mat = teh dadd0r...

remote mice/kbds = teh wank0r

whats up with wireless kb's?

can understand the problem with mice, do they lag or miss keys or something

i concur

my everglide ricochet is da bomb.

i have an intelli exploerer 3 and they were at one poitn the best mouse u can get and still are pritty good but they dont make then anymore..

there are the new gen explorer 3s but i dont knwo how good they are.

for gaming a good mouse will always be as good as its mouse mat. i have an ice mat its old now but still works well the only problem i had is its quite high so it takes some gettign used 2

i dont like felt, i cant move my hand across it well.

i dont have a mouse mat at the mo, just have it on my desk.

i just use my desk on my optic mouse aswell.

How did we ever live with ball mouses?

i seriously reccomend getting a decent mouse mat eg everglide one as they make a HUGE difference. Jag bought one at i17, i tried it out, dropped my sensitivity on CS by about 60% then went and bout one for myself!
