lol no it's not. Read my post again about wireless mice turning off. I didn't say the G7 turned off, I merely said a lot of wireless mice do.

The lag is more the fact that a lot of wireless mice turn of as soon as they are lifted from the mouse mat meaning the first move you make when you put the mouse back down is invalid.

The Razer Deathadder is a superb mouse, as for keyboards, they all seem so overpriced for they extra "gimmicks" they provide (except the lighty up Saitek ones...so cool :P), but if i had to get one it would probably be the G15.

It must be 'in a lot of people's heads' then eh ...I agree with him, I have used and indeed own many corded and cordless mice. I know exactly what he means when he says it somehow feels less connected, I don't really know how to describe it exactly and I can't quite put my finger on what it is (no pun intended) but I agree with him 100%, I also feel 'less connected' to the cursor somehow, with a wireless mouse. I am using a wireless Logitech VX Revolution right now as I type this on my laptop. I've been using it all week as I'm away from home at the moment, it's a really nice mouse, and It sure feels a lot better and more connected than many wireless mice I've used, but it still isn't quite as 'immediate' as a wired mouse. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it just isn't. I also tend to lift my mouse of the pad a lot, you may not, but some people do, thus different mice suite different people.

I use a Razer Deathadder on my main machine/gaming machine. Which is really very nice, I used an MX 518 for several years before, I still have it but I prefer the shape of the Razer. I decided to buy it as I found I far preferred the shape of the Microsoft Intellimouse 3 I use on a other machine I have, and as the Razer is so similar in shape I figured I'd get on with it a bit better than the Logitech, which to be honest, never quite sat 'right' in my hand, although it's a great mouse and is pretty well bombproof, I swear you could use it as a morning-star if you so choose and it still wouldn't break :p

In short, both the Razer Deathadder and the Logitech MX 518 are great mice and I would recommend either, it's really down to which shape you prefer. I also had a Razer Diamondback, years ago, when they first came out, I had some realiability issues with that but the shape was nice, nicer than the Logitech to my smaller hands but not as nice as the Microsoft/Deathadder shape.

If you don't need/wan't such high sensitivity as these gaming offer, then I would say the good old Microsoft Intellimouse 3 is the best you can get, I would use it for gaming too as I still slightly prefer it's shape to the Deathadder, they are very similar but the DA is just a bit bulkier and thicker and I prefer the MS, alas it isn't quite sensitive enough for my tastes when gaming.

As for keyboards, well that's another personal preference thing really. I use a Saitek Eclispse II, I really like it, good solid feel and quite a nice typing action (ain't no IBM Model M though). I also have a MS Comfort Curve 2000 on another machine, that's a decent keyboard too, although I don't personally get on so well with the lower profile keys and the slightly curved design. I find the left shift button gets cramped into a tiny little key due to the curve of the board, and that annoys me, also the typing action on the CC 2000 is a bit soft and short of stroke for my tastes. Whatever floats your boat though.
