Just wondering so I can decide if it's a better idea to take the PS/2 converter off my mouse's USB plug or leave it as is for an extra USB port.
I can not tell the difference

By definition USB is many times faster, but given the amount of data travelling, it is negligible in most cases. The exception is when comparing optical or LASER mice to traditional rolling ball mice.
O.K., which one is faster for a laser mouse?

Chalk one up for USB, anybody else?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

i would say usb. im running usb at 2000 dpi
just my $0.02

nyuh huh, I'm with those guys. Matter of factual bandwidth. Whether you see it is opinion (I do), but its speed is pure fact.
My mouse, lol: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6826104157
I have the blue version of it. Yes, I play BF2 with it.

Just plugged it into the USB, the mouse seems speedier and less sluggish.
Get a Razer Diamondback. These are not mice, but gaming devices. (They look loke mice, though, lol!)
Semper Fi!

Can ya find anything a little cheaper, it's hard to convince my dad to buy stuff on-line and it would be easier if it was cheaper.Trooper_Collider wrote:

Also, will I really notice much improvement if I buy it?
Buy a decent mousepad as well, then it will be fine. Just make sure its compatible.
The faster IS PS2, The USB interface doesn't make it possible to reach the 100Hz of PS2.
And I overclocked My PS2 mouse to 200Hz.
Although I cant tell the difference between USB and 200Hz PS2.

A few notes guys.
USB (generic normal mice) mice run upto 125 (Hz) samples per second however with a ps/2 mouse you can set that upto 200. (generally ps/2 generic mice are better than generic usb mice)
The more gamer orientated USB mice however can do something like 500 a second, for example the Logitech G5.
So, if you get a cheap mouse go for a ps/2 one. If you're going for a gamer mouse go for the gamer usb ones like the G5.

Usb Owns
It's a shame that some of the older computers have either one or no USB slots.
yes, but all usb ports can support up to 128 devices... so if you had a usb hub it would work fine.
128...so you could have 128 peripherals connected to 1 USB port?!
USB MX1000.
The difference is not noticable through ports, but more DPI means higher data so USB would be preferable.

What about wireless mice? I have a Logitech wireless mouse and it works pretty well, with no noticable lag. Opinions?
127 actually.k30dxedle wrote:

Wireless introduces other elements like the transmit lag. Technically, wired mice will have more reliability with a faster response time. However, the difference is usually negligible ... unless your batteries just ran out. Which is why I have a mouse from Logitech with a docking station so it recharges the batteries on its own and giving no battery cost.Sin-nisterMinister wrote:

They eat batteries. The only cordless device I have on my computer is the rear speakers (Logitech z-5450).
