On the previous PC I had the Logitech G7 mouse. At the time that seemed like a fine mouse (the best I'd had upto that time), but I was aware that occasionally getting its signal through (wireless) was erratic, probably because of wireless networks, bluetooth, and other bits of kit al on 2.4GHz. Well to cut a long and boring story short, yesterday I gave the G7 a reprieve and tried it in a little bit of EQ2 and BF2142 play. Frankly I couldn't wait to go back to the Habu, I'd not realised how much more responsive the MS/razer Habu is compared to my G7!
I just dont think I'd be able to bottle the wire. Knowing how easy is for wires to become a mess behind the desk over time, it doesnt take long for it to end up snagged in a knot causing pressure on the mouse itself. When I sit down to a wired mouse I have eerie memorys of dieing FPS deaths due to having to haul my mouse wire back up again, or to stop to untangle the nest of wires.
I dont understand this arguement that wire = faster. Perhaps in statistics but my Microsoft wireless fits the bill and I never get probs with it. o/
I'd love to have a reliable wireless mouse/keyboard/joystick setup, but alas thanks to so many people nearby using so many devices on the cramped 2.4GHz band those devices no longer work reliably for me. I may at a push consider having another go at wireless devices if I could have them all set up via bluetooth or similar, but the last thing I want is to add to the interference myself.
As to getting the mouse wire tangled up, I couldn't manage with out the cable sling!
Nice review. I will give this a shot when my intellimouse explorer finally gives up on me. Lasted about 3 years now
I used to visit this site a lot however in recent years it has become the home of negative forum posts, illogical opinions and tantrums so I visit less often.

I have 1 question (maybe stupid
) How much this mouse cost
I paid £28 for mine, but looking at the site I bought it from it's on there for £32 now!
