hi im looking for a new mouse, i am currently using a trackball which i had on my laptop but its no good for games on the pc, anyway i want a good mouse for gaming but it must be wireless. Im no hardcore gamer so i prefer no wires. It must also be good for general pc stuff.

One other thing and i might be expecting a bit much here, my pc is a htpc and i will be sitting at my desk facing the wall and the htpc is on the opposite wall behind me. So is there a cordless mouse that will have a good strong range that it will work with the reciever 10ft behind my desk?

I doubt any would have a long enough cable to reach from the htpc, under my floor and up to my desk to be in front of me.

what sort of cable legnth does the mx1000 have and the longer the cable then i could perhaps get the reciever closer :rolleyes:

the trackball i have is wireless but no good for games, the movement is not fine enough and in gameplay movement is very jerky. fine for general pc use but not for games.

i used it with my laptop for 1 1/2 years and was ideal for sitting on the sofa with no need to worry about where to use a mouse, just a twiddle of the thumb and bobs your mothers brother

MX1000 for the win !
its a joy for browsing the net and other applications due to allt he buttons rtight where you need em... the back and forward ( for the internet) are just so useful. you can also set them to lean left and right in games etc.
just dont install the drivers for it !!

edit:
ive just went downstairs and to the other corner of my house to test the mouse and yeap... it moved

nice that sounds as though there is a good range with this mouse, do you have any idea how long the able if from the reciever to the pc?

i already tried the in game sensativity but found i was twirling my trackball too much to move around and it was not practical, new mouse is on the cards though and the mx1000 is looking good but pricey mmmmmmmmmmm
