Logitech G900 Wireless Mouse Faster than Wired ones

Logitech is trying to dispel that myth. that a wireless mouse is always going to be slower to respond  than one that's wired. After three years of research and development, Logitech claims the G900 doesn't compromise on latency. Many of its features and design are the result of direct feedback from the PC gaming community, the very audience at which the mouse is aimed. What makes the G900 a really exciting prospect are key details that people in that scene really care about.

Logitech went to an awful lot of trouble to prove its low latency claims by setting up a series of tests to analyze response time and performance under severe interference issues. But the most compelling evidence is in the data it collected when comparing the G900's click and motion latency to some of the wired competition. These results may not sound like a big deal, but it's undoubtedly head-turning stuff for the professional player.

According to Logitech's data, the G900 had quicker click latency (shorter bars) than the Steelseries Rival 300 and Razer Death Adder, and better motion latency head-to-head with the Death Adder.

 For wireless interference tests, Logitech set up each mouse on what sounds like a turntable -- think of a treadmill for a mouse -- and then bombarded it with wireless interference. Its tests show a constant circular pattern being drawn with the G900 and numerous skips and jumps with the competition.

Of course Logitech was in control of all these tests but it's betting that third-party analysis will bear it out. While I can't test the G900 like Logitech did in its controlled environment, I should be able to to notice any interference in an apartment building with a mess of competing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signals.
