I have never used wireless equipment before and I really want to try it out, just not sure if I could still play SC2 and other fast paced games.
And if so, can somebody recommend me a good set to buy.

Apparently wireless mice are the same as wired mice these days. But yesterday, my mouse wore out so I bought a wireless mouse. Returned it the same day after fiddling with the settings for an hour. It's speed seemed fine, but something about it felt sluggish or imprecise when trying to click on units. Same when I tried with my brothers computer a few months ago, I immediately plugged in my wired mouse after finding it a bit sluggish. | ||

LOL. I don't know if the above comment is about a laptop or not but I will continue may comment as if it is. Well, if your mouse feels a bit sluggish, you might want to go to settings and select reduce mouse lag and then change the mouse sensitivity. When I first got my wireless mouse, it felt sluggish but I did this and it works fine now. The type of mouse also makes a difference. I bought this one gearhead mouse that felt extremely precise and I loved it but the mouse driver SUCKS so much that I returned it because the driver bugged in a week. So I decided to get this logitech mouse and it works ok but I feel that it is less precise. As a result, the mouse you buy also makes a difference. | ||

In my very limited experience with consumer wireless mice, this kind of low latency does not happen in practice. I'm guessing that the polling is much less frequent than as-soon-as-possible, like I assumed above. Certainly, increasing the time interval between successive reports from the mouse would decrease the power consumption (battery drain). So I guess most consumer wireless mice are tuned towards saving batteries, while wireless "gaming" mice are tuned more towards performance and low latency at the expense of battery life. Maybe? Or it could just be shoddy drivers at fault, or something else. Anyhow, there is no technical reason why some wireless communications scheme inherently wouldn't work for this purpose. | ||

the only problem is if the distance between the computer and the mouse is too great it sometimes loses connection. but thats very rare and only happens when i have them like 2 metres apart or more. | ||

For my desktop computer, I use a wired mouse and a wireless keyboard. It's mainly so I can maximize my usable desk space for school and such. While gaming, I can't really notice any latency like I did with the wireless mouse. | ||
