High DPI, Low Latency Wireless Mouse Suggestions?

Hi, I'm looking for a mouse with high DPI, low latency, and is wireless (preferably nano-receiver) for use in a laptop I'll be carrying around a lot.

I'll likely be using around 2000 dpi. No jitter and high accuracy is pretty important for me. Sometimes I'll need to do work that involves selecting a single pixel. Or I'm just a bit OCPD.
Good battery life would be nice (some nice Logitech mice I've seen boast of 3 years of battery life).
I don't care very much about size or comfort right now, although a shape that would make it hard to break or be crushed when thrown into a bag haphazardly would be nice (say, if the mouse is lodged between two big textbooks in a bag).

If anybody has any suggestions or have had good personal experiences, please share with me!
Thanks for help!

 

I think the logitech g602 might be very good and up your alley, as it has a small nanoreciever and has a 500hz polling rate which is about as much as youd need in most cases.
If you dont mind having a massive wireless dock though, the steelseries sensei wireless might also be to your liking.
Theres also some of the razer products with the large wireless docks too like the mamba and oroboros, but razer products seem to be hit or miss sometimes with bad qc so your mileage may vary with those.

 

Hi nightingale,

Thanks for the suggestions.
Both Logitech and Steelseries mice look nice, although a bit fancy.
I don't mind docks at all, but still am looking for a really high battery life of multiple months. I suppose I don't really need something with super low latency, just a tiny bit annoyed with the standard 8 ms poll rate. Honestly, 8 ms is fine for what I'll be using it for anyways, so don't worry too much about focusing on latency. Low latency is just a nice plus.

A lot of the low latency mice tend to have low battery I guess.
Previously, I bought a Logitech Performance MX, and while it's a nice mouse, was a bit dissapointed with the 1500 max dpi and 8ms poll rate, along with a battery that won't last more than 3 days.
Either way, both of your suggestions are great and I'll be looking at them.

To clarify though, I don't necessarily need an expensive mouse. Just a good enough one.

 

If you want good polling rates, you will need a gaming-grade mouse. Logitech g700 is my first recommendation (high DPI, up to 1000hz polling rate, nano receiver). Can be charged through a USB cable.

Second recommendation is Logitech g602. Batteries not rechargeable, you will need to swap them out.

If both are too expensive, third recommendation is a Logitech M705 marathon mouse. DPI around 1800dpi, and only 125hz USB polling rate. But it has incredible battery life, and excels at being a *wireless* *mouse*.

You aren't going to find gaming-grade wireless mice under $60. If that is out of your budget, you can go wired. Both the Logitech G400 and Razer Deathadder are excellent choices as entry-level wires gaming mice, and will only run you around $40.

 

Yeah, you're right. I try to keep away from gaming mice for now, because they tend to have really bad battery life, but I guess I'll have to sacrifice polling rate if I do.
Honestly, latency isn't super important (probably should not have put it into the title, my bad). DPI is a bit more important, as long as the poll rate isn't longer than the standard 8ms.

The G700 looks like the mouse I should have gotten instead of the Performance MX, but I suspect that like the Performance, it won't have much a battery life to boast.
The G602 looks really great and I'm glad you suggested it here; good enough battery life, good DPI range, and still wireless. It isn't really "expensive," although I probably should consider cheaper mice, since I'll be throwing this in my bag haphazardly and I don't want to damage a more expensive product (plus, the more expensive ones with all the fancy buttons might be easier to damage). Either way, if I can't find anything better, I'll certainly be looking at the G602 as one of my top choices.
The M702 Marathon I'll have to pass. It isn't really "cheap," and it just barely misses my minimum "max dpi" of 2000. It does have the "3 year battery life" thing that I've seen before and looks really great, but I wish the dpi was slightly higher. I've had people tell me there are really cheap wireless mice with ridiculously high dpi. I feel like those are going to be low quality or have really bad accuracy, I don't know. But it does make me feel like that even $30 range mice should be able to have higher dpi than they do right now. The technology is there, I guess it isn't profitable as the general market doesn't use high dpi.

You're right when you say I probably won't be able to get a good wireless gaming mouse at $60. But then again, I don't really need one.
I'm avoiding wired, because I'll be using this on a laptop, and plugging and unplugging feels like a hassle. It might be best to do this in the end, but I'll have to see.

 

The right mouse for you is the Logitech m705 marathon mouse.

Ignore the DPI rating of mice. These days, it is used as a marketing number (like megapixel ratings on digital cameras) where mouse manufacturers try and our-do each other by having higher DPI numbers. In reality, you will never use all that DPI. Even in a mouse with 8000+DPI, you are only going to use about 1400 - 1600 DPI.

As far as DPI goes, you only need to make sure that you buy a mouse with "good enough" dpi (just like looking for a dogital camera eith "good ebough' megapixel rating). Anything above that is just useless marketing.

Based on everything you described, the Logitech m705 marathon mouse is the right Mouse for you (trust me on this one). You just need to understand that your requirement of 2000+ DPI doesn't have any practical value.

 

It's true that DPI is mostly just a marketing number these days, although I actually do need the high DPI (not 8000+ of course, but at least 2000 as the max DPI).
My current mouse is a 1500 DPI mouse, and I find it limiting. I control the mouse primarily with my wrist (unadvised, I know), and I have to artificially boost the DPI higher, which I don't like, because it causes skipping of pixels. I end up having a not too high boosted DPI at a virtual 2000 DPI, while I switch to 1500 DPI every time I need to do pixel by pixel accurate work.

Since I technically am using 2000 DPI right now, I figure that if the mouse can at least have a 2000 DPI option, I'll be fine. I won't have the pixel jumping, and I'll have a sensitivity level I'm familiar with enough to not complain. Having higher DPI would be nice if I ever wanted to try a higher sensitivity in the future, but if it means getting a ridiculously expensive mouse that advertises some 8000+ DPI, I'll have to pass.

So for most people, yes, they are only going to use about 1400-1600. But for me, 2000 is my current minimum, since it's what I'm using and what I'm familiar with now.
