Wireless Logitech i-Touch Keyboard and Mouse, any disadv?

[faye]

Hi,
i want to know if a Wireless Keyboard and mouse will make any disadvantage to ur computer?
Like interference with monitor or speakers?

I do play games, so accuracy is very important to me, so will it make a difference?

I have that combo....and I LOVE.

They do not interfer with monitor or speakers.

However, if you go to a LAN party, make sure you set you combo to a different channel if someone else there has cordless too... you will find out why quick enough.

Not having cords is soo nice when playing FPS games. I have never ever ever suffered in games like Q3 and UT, my mouse is right there all the time. I went to a LAN party with this thing, and I did pretty darn good. (80 people there)

So, if you dont mind putting new batteries in every 2 months, totally get it. I don't think I could go back to having cords again....I got too used to it without.

I know that feeling about having a corded mouse catching on something when you're playing an FPS. Is the iFeel wireless mouse an optical mouse? Seeing as I like the ball better for FPS, I was just curious.

oh, u need to replace batteries in 2 months? That is bad(haha, but it isn't bad to me)

what kind of batteries? AAA?

...
i don't see this combo in logitech.com ,

and is this combo a new version? cuz i do remember there is a wireless combo from logitech that is very similar(that doesn't have interent keys on board).

so, 'i-Touch', does it mean something like more convenient to reach the Internet Keys? ex, back, forward, stop, refresh ...

 

[Jonny]

Yes, it is a ball mouse.

And faye your right, they had an earlier version. It was blue, but was not i-touch. I then upgraded to the i-touch version, which is black.

Your right, they do not have the combo on their webpage. However, just so you know, this is what I have:

The Keyboard
The Mouse

For 144 CAND, (80 USD) its a really nice set.
You could also get the Logitech Cordless Destop Pro if you prefer that style mouse and the split keyboard. Its a little more expensive unfortunatly.

 

[Jonny]

hmmm^^ some serious issues with the links up there...and it wont let me fix them...when I do...nothing changes...o well


Update: fixed it

 

[faye]

the combo has the same keyboard but a different mouse, rite?
the 'pro' version, i just don't like the style of that mouse,
i prefer the one in i-touch(the one u have).

u know what, go to

JustDeals

an i-Touch is only $35US , don't know about S&H, the site doesn't support Canada address, i need to phone in. Need to wait till office hours.

get an optical mouseman by logitech, its very sweet design and it kicks ass. No more cleaning your BALLZ!!!!!!! But a cordless keyboard would be nice tho. =-)

 

[tigger80]

btw the cordless mouses does not feel as precise as the optical or mice with balls

<< btw the cordless mouses does not feel as precise as the optical or mice with balls >>



Completly wrong. It not even feel as pricise as a regular mouse with a ball? I have owned both, and like I said earlier, this mouse is right there all the time, and is extremely precise.

About optical, your probley right, but what ball mouse is?

jonny,

How close does each the keyboard and mouse have to be for you to experience interference?

I made the step up from the Logitech Mouseman (4 button, no wheel) to a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel. Yum, I love it. Behaving nicely so far. Any about this &quot;precision&quot; thing, I don't really feel a difference. The buttons are a little rough right now, but you gotta break 'em in. I'm feeling it a little easier already. Or maybe my fingers got stronger

Cordless Optical would be wierd. I still gotta try a optical for fps. I'd think the opticals are too light without the mouseball. i kinda like some weight wit the mouse cuz it's a lot smoother. you won't pick it up by accident while the explorer mouse (my friends), i tend to lift it up for some reason. maybe that's just me.
