And on the other side: I very much notice the difference between a corded mouse and a Bluetooth mouse (not a cheap one). It's not unusable, but frustrating enough that I prefer the corded ones. And I'm not a gamer, just doing office stuff, browsing and programming.
I have tried like 5 Bluetooth mice, since BL4.0 the latency has improved from 'terrible' to 'tolerable'. It might be something to do with the windows bluetooth stack, as i noticed the respobce was more sluggish during high CPU use, while USB mice seem unaffected.
The same logitech mouse performs much faster through their universal wireless adapter than trhough bluetooth (it has 2 modes), they also have lightspeed adapter, but I haven't noticed much difference.
If you haven't already, get a high refresh rate monitor and a 1000 reports/sec "gaming" mouse. The Razer Viper Mini is light, which adds to the feeling of responsiveness. I've bought a couple for other people and they love them.
I recently got a 165 Hz monitor for my decade-old PC (Sandy Bridge era) and with my (now old) G302 mouse, it's like having a new, much faster PC.
Wireless devices are still hit-or-miss for me. I've also found that my wireless keyboard and mouse actually perform worse if I have WiFi enabled. -_-
Are you using 2.4 GHz wifi?
Yes. This is at my office, so I'm assuming there's good reason for 2.4 GHz. Maybe just range?
