    I have been using this mouse for about a year now and I have never had any lag problems with this.

    However, I'm not one to justify lag times between wired and wireless. I don't see nor do I really care about that minute difference if there is one at all.

    If your looking for specific technicals I'm pretty sure Logitechs website has the tech specs on it.

    "Response time" is determined by polling rate. The Logitech G700 has up to 1000Hz / 1ms USB polling rate, which is the highest you can find on any mouse.

    So no, you will not have any "lag" with that mouse.


    P.S. Actually, to be technically correct, the Logitech G700 has a USB polling rate that is configurable between 125Hz / 8ms up to 1000Hz / 1ms. The higher in Hz you go, the less the lag / delay will be between the mouse and the receiver. Although even the most hardcore gamer will probably tell you that 500Hz / 2ms is the setting you want to use. You won't notice any performance difference between 500Hz vs 1000Hz, and you'll be getting quite a bit of extra battery life by going with the lower 500Hz setting.

    No lag with that mouse. Im very satisfied with it, but the batterylife is way too weak.

    Yeah batteries is exactly why I went for the wired G500, it's a lovely precise mouse and it was only £36! Happy Days :D
