Ps2 Vs USB in a Cordless Mouse, whats best.
Ive always had my Mouse and Keyboard PS2, because from my experience is faster, and more responsive, is this true or is it just me ? Ive heard people saying their Mx700 has lag, i have never had this problem, and i want to get and Mx-1000 mouse and hook it up, via ps2. Your thoughts ? Thanks. |

My 4 month old MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2 still shows the original batteries at 80% with fairly high usage. I personally wouldn't want to tie up USB ports with mice & k/bs & enabling resume from Standby/Hibernate using either on the PS/2 ports is usually less of an issue than from USB. Latency on USB might be an issue under certain circumstances. I have run both from USB but not long enough to notice any difference. -- The map is not the territory |

Recently got a Logitech 510. Logitech recommended using the PS2 port.

It was also uncomfortable to use by a southpaw like me. My only remaining issue with mice is that they should have ball bearings & not silly pads on the bottom to reduce stiction. The mouse I have states 6 months battery life & it looks like that will be exceeded. Having NmH batteries included & a charging cradle is another option - especially if it takes its power from the PS/2 port. I did find that putting AA NiCads in the Mouseman pretty pointless. The current MS cordless also uses AA & not their small siblings. I also like the left/right scrolling function, if not the indentless scrolling of the wheel itself. My brother can't get his mouse to wake his PC if connected to a USB port, despite the jumper being set to 5VSB, Legacy USB mouse being checked then unchecked in the bios & the settings in Device Manager being toggled for USB devices. If my mouse's battery life was only 3 months, I'd still be more than happy. I would be very surprised if you only got a month's use from MS model I have - cheap as well. My next k/b will be cordless but the current MS models are far too deep - my MS Office k/b takes up far too much desk real estate for my liking. Battery life on cordless k/bs isn't an issue of course. I wouldn't bother with the expense or pairing complexity of a Bluetooth mouse personally & IIRC, still need another BT dongle for other devices - messy. -- The map is not the territory |
