<\/a>Sennheiser wireless headphones<\/p><\/div>\n
Why do I want wireless?<\/h3>\n
I\u2019m not one to go out and replace my current gaming peripherals with wireless ones just because it would be cool to have, I actually have a legitimate reason. My desk looks like a war zone.<\/p>\n
All around my keyboard and mouse pad I have a vast array of crap which I need to have within arms reach, just in case. There\u2019s a tub of jelly beans, a spark plug, a few bullet casings I was taking pictures of, a waterblock, keys, CDs, flash drives, SIM cards, loose change, and that\u2019s just the first square inch.<\/p>\n
Having all of this crap on my desk means cables get caught on things, and the only thing as annoying as lag in a game, is having your mouse caught and stopping you from knifing a noob in the face. Then watching helplessly as he dances around shooting at the floor and sky before turning his hand cannon towards you and pumping digital lead into your face. But I digress.<\/p>\n

My options<\/h3>\n
Right so from the above we\u2019ve concluded that I want a wireless mouse so I can avoid the junk on my desk and game better, so let\u2019s take a look at my options.<\/p>\n
High-end gaming mice: If I\u2019m going to buy a wireless mouse, I\u2019m going to buy one that\u2019s comfortable and feature rich. I found the Cyborg R.A.T. 9 comfortable, and the Logitech G700 wasn\u2019t bad either. The Razer Mamba I could get used to, and if I think out of the box a little, the Logitech MX Revolution is actually a really great mouse.<\/p>\n
The only problem is all of these mice are over R1,000. And I will honestly eat my current Logitech MX518 before I pay R1,000 for a bit of nicely shaped plastic with some things inside it.<\/p>\n
The other option worth considering is a mouse bungee similar to the Razer device pictured below. R200 is a lot easier to stomach than R1,000, and this way I don\u2019t need to upgrade my current MX518, everybody wins.<\/p>\n

The point<\/h3>\n
The point of me discussing all of this with you is, wireless peripherals, especially mice, are overpriced. They\u2019re that way because there are gamers out there willing to hand over their life savings for a little bit of convenience.<\/p>\n
Also, normally I\u2019m totally against dumb little gaming gadgets that are pure marketing (gaming gloves and ambient lighting as two examples), but when faced with the choice of tidying my desk or handing over two buffalo, I\u2019m thinking the latter will be easier.<\/p>\n
As you were.<\/p>\n
