Gaming tests (cs:go) for 5gz wifi (same room and alone on the channel) vs ethernet cable.
whats this 2002? why are we watching video in 30 fps?D:
So if there was an issue that was causing a drastic change in mouse movement when shifting polling rates, what could cause this behaviour? (Persistent in safe boot)
To think about it, 15ms is actually a lot. You lost a opportunity to test ps2 connections too.
Tldw linus makes a ghetto dpi sensor
Please, check also keyboard response times. Pick every flagman Corsair vs Logitech vs Razer vs Ducky vs Cooler Master vs HyperX, could be very interesting.
Isn't there like, a way better way to test this then a camera…
Meanwhile i got a cheap 15$ mouse from A4 tech and i kick everyones asses. Dont have high dpi, have 250 pooling (whatever its called) and im usually top player ;p I dont change the mouse because every Logitech mouse that i tried feels horrible in the hand. Their old mouses feel good, but they are like 15 year old mouses now.
Not at one point in this did you ask "are wireless mice faster?" change the damn title!
not testing a razer deathadder? 🙁
You should have tried it with the USB dongle in the rear io. That seems like a more common use case.
Whats the margin of error though ?
Who else also uses a crappy Walmart or what ever Mouse for $5?
How about adding a crappy wired and wireless mouse to see if the expensive ones are that much better.
This is the first video from LTT that I’ve enjoyed for a while, mainly because the thumbnail and title told me what it was about and instead of screwing around they did their tests really professionally
You forgot to account for two important variables: the weight of each mouse and the pull from cables. At equal force, acceleration will be measurably impacted by weight and pull. You could easily make adjustments to mitigate this.
I'd love to see this test redone with all kinds of mice. Things like Amazon best sellers to the cheapest thing claiming to be "built for gaming"
Bad video quality Linus…
Why don't have G103/203?
just bought an mx anywhere 2s and yikes
I thought you had tested this and found that the wireless mouse is slightly slower but it's very doubtful it would be noticeable. 😉
These last two videos (this and the 240hz vs 60hz monitor) have been amazing. I hope you keep finding ideas for comparisons like this (maybe keyboard input timing)?
Logitech needs to make a MX Master with the internals of the G Pro Wireless
Changing the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500Hz is definitely noticeable. I know that theoretically, the numbers say that there's no way that that could be true, but if you play on 500Hz for a while then go to 1000hz or vise versa, you can notice a difference. 500Hz almost seems smoother, while 1000Hz feels slightly more twitchy and responsive. It's only noticeable for a very short amount of time as soon as you change it. I wonder how that's even possible to pick up on though.
Isnt it false advertising that they say sub 1ms response time and its 14ms?
That corsair RGB test was flawed as the hammer was skidding on the surface,before it actually started moving.
Well a cool video but maby you should partner with Gamers Nexus to make that test more scientific – unfortunatly there were a lot of mistakes – but at least the conclusion was spot on.
BUT its important to note that a 130$ "Gaming" Mouse is no means better than a 10$ one! The most important thing about a Mouse is the Sensor, the rest is bonus.
So just use the Mouse with the best Sensor – thats most likely the PMW 3360 but you can also grap its predecessor the PMW 3310 which ist still good.
why you dont simply disasemble the left click to send the digital comand exacly at the same time as the led?
how is that footprint in the wall…
Linus MythTechBusters!!!!!
Me: At last! It's time to sleep.
LTT notifs with a wireless mice.
Me: Oh shit here we go again.
Can you do a video please of making your home smart? Example nest thermostat, ring door bells, smart locks, smart wall outlets, etc??? Thanks linus!
a way to test transmission speed before it gets to the pc would be to add an inline usb connector with an led that will light up when data flows
I was actually searching this topic today😁
Please verify that the wireless mice were properly powered with fully-charged, full-size batteries – none of James' AAA life-hack stuff.
Wired mouse is much faster
What?! No Serial mouse test? Thats supposed to be the best because of its "passive" polling.
meanwhile i use the mx anywhere 2 for gaming….
fuck my life
Actually the diff between 500 and 1000 is very clear for games u just haven't played any 1000 when u shoot it flickers 500 more stable check it out yourself
Normal tech YouTubers : let's unbox shit
Linus : mouse latency?

Can you guys do wireless trackballs?
I mean why is this necessary i mean the bluetooth depends on the radiacional vibrates that comes out the signal and every country have different radiacional vibrates
