Alright, here's the story. Due to space constraints, my computer is a good 4 feet away from my keyboard and mouse. Consequently, the mouse cord on my usual mouse is always stretched to within an inch of its life. Tired of constantly standing around helpless as I replugged a yanked USB plug back into the back of my computer, I decided to try a wireless mouse.
Big mistake. Huge mistake. Colossal, Hindenburg-crashes-into-the-Titanic-which-ignites-the-Exxon-Valdez mistake.
I cannot for the life of me get the wireless mouse to respond even half as reliably as my old wired mouse. It's sluggish as all hell, and very finicky--you can move the mouse the exact same way 5 times and have the cursor travel 5 different distances. And worst of all, it has piss-poor reception. The receiver is 1 foot away from the mouse. One goddamn foot. And yet a good 10% of the time, the cursor just sits there, oblivious to my frantic mouse-moving. And by the time I'm mobile again, surprise, I'm dead.
All I know is it's the first time in BF2 history that my K/D sank to 1:10. One round of that bullshit was all I could handle.
I'm off to the store first thing tomorrow to get a store credit for this piece of shit and buy a USB cable extender/router/anything else instead. I should have known when even the Logitech G5 only comes in a corded version...Now I know why.
