Why do so many gamers hate wireless mice?

[Owl]

I just don't get it. Why so many gamers just hate wireless mice? I don't notice much difference!

It's hell when the mouse dies while you're in the middle of a boss fight.

Yeah that's true, but are there any other reasons but that?

There are some who feel that wireless mice are not as responsive as their wired counterparts.

Yeah I guess. And it's true, I hate when my mouse dies in the middle of a counter-strike game.

Same reason you don't play online games over wi-fi. A wire is a direct, constant connection. Wi-fi can cut out or be interfered with.

There's also the fact that with most cases, wired mouses are cheaper then wireless ones.

May be the weight of some wireless mice that put people off of them.

They're more expensive, heavier, have a higher chance of disconnection, and use a battery.

I never liked them. Too unreliable.

I have a wireless gaming mouse I just got and it's beast, but most wireless mice are trash.

My mouse is wired and came with 5 weights that I can remove as many as I want to choose the weight of my mouse if I should so choose.

Last time I was playing MOBA all of a sudden my teammate ran down the lane, fed a kill and then went afk saying "Guys my batteries are dead brb". 10 Minutes later she was back but it was too late and we lost that game. So yeah wireless mice are a gimmick.

They are good for using a laptop at work (I still use a wired mouse for that, the same model I use at home no less) if you are not gonna game with it.

Unresponsive, require batteries.

The wired mice I've used were much more unresponsive than the NORMAL wireless mice I got for some reason
