wifi > logitech vx revolution

i read somewhere that the wifi disrupts the mouse... is this true? im plaining to buy it (its on sale for 40 bucks on ncix.com) for my notebook...and im gonna be using wifi. (unless i get a router.. which i proberly wont)

edit - 48 bucks acually.. lol

 

I'm not sure about the effect of wifi on the vx, however, you can get it for a lot cheaper if you look elsewhere (for example, it is only 33 from amazon). You shouldn't any more than that for it - in fact you can find it for 30 at a few places. Check the Hot Deals forums at fatwallet.com for more deals.

 

yeah.. i live in canada, and those the only place i can get (futureshop, bestbuys bit expensive 93$ CND, i checked at canadacomputers.com, not bad 60$ with tax compared with ncix)

now.. about the wifi.. can someone answer it?

i read that the mouse runs at 2.4ghz, while (I THINK) the wireless runs at the same speeds. or some sort.

 

When I was home last weekend I didn't notice an issue. If there is an issue, I suspect it may be a case of it only affecting a few, as if it had a blanket adverse effect, I wouldn't have bought it

imho I would consider getting a different (cheaper) mouse. Sure the super-scroll is nifty on long web pages and documents, but apart from that, it is the same as every other 5 button mouse out there (plus zoom and search buttons). Also, as I said in the other thread, I prefer the middle click on my Razer DeathAdder. Much smoother and easier. That is one aspect that they could improve for the VX

 

budget is not really a issue, i think the mouse is perfect, im using 800dpi for my g5 i dont really go above and beyong really.

 

Both me and a friend of mine use the vx while wifi is in use, no problems what so ever. I have been using it for 4 months+ now with wifi and I have never had any disruption.

 

I think it depends on how much data is being transmitted thru wifi. I have the logitech mx610 and suffer no jumpiness when using wifi unless I am downloading at high speeds. Whenever I am downloading at highspeeds (> 200 KB/s), I start to notice that the mouse pointer skip every now and then. My router is also 2ft away from my laptop, that may also increase the incidence.

 

Yeah, I have this problem, my router is close to my laptop and every 1 or 2 minutes the mouse freezes because of the signal, its very annoying sometimes, but, at least its a good mouse, I love it, if you take it out the signal interaction it will work just fine.
