So I recently bought a nice new plasma tv and surround sound speakers, and every time I look at my 20" LCD my computer is hooked up to, I just don't really wanna game on it
So I went to work and got my PC nice and quiet (well quiet enough) and am going to move it into the game room where my tv and stereo are.
I really don't want to have wires running in the living room for the keyboard/mouse, so I was looking at wireless options. There really aren't that many for gamers as I see it. The one mouse that seemed to routinely get really solid reviews was the G7. I've always used Razer mice since I'm left handed, but I can't find a solid dpi wireless mouse, so I'm thinking of trying that one out. If my hand cramps over carpel tunnel, I guess I'll just return it. Any other suggestions? I couldn't find anything over 1000 dpi and I've read a lot about disconnects, etc, and would rather have a mouse that was reasonably modern.
Keyboard I'm thinking the logitech wireless wave (it includes an 800 dpi mouse, so I guess I could see if it works.) I really liked the feel of it at the store. The dinovo edge looks too skinny for gaming, and I'd rather not punish something not really designed for it. (Plus the wave is quite a bit cheaper, but I'd pay more if something was worth it.) I like the idea of having a number pad as being left handed I use it for WASD. (I could switch it up I guess, if I had to get one w/o the numpad.)
The last thing I really don't know is...how do you really game in a recliner? Do you guys use like a food tray?
So any suggestions? I'm a bit worried about wireless disconnects and lag, but the idea of having to plug in my mouse and keyboard and run them across the room when I game sounds pretty lame. I did actually buy some lengthy usb cable extensions to just try it out before I buy anything wireless. But I still need to figure out how to get it working well in a recliner.
Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Matthew
