  How good is a wireless mouse?
  
  Is it as sensitive as a normal wired mouse?
  
  Does the connection break off frequently?

  it is convenient to use
  the sensitivity is the same, if not better than the wired ones
  u can tweak mouse's sensitivity in control panel i think
  better to have optical wireless mouse or any wireless ones that doesn't use balls -> it's more bulky & heavier
  the ones that i use requires just one battery to operate

  I think the disadvantage of using a wireless mouse is that it requires batteries.
  
  Unless you buy Logitech's MX700 which has a charging bay.
  
  Else, it's the same as other optical mouse (ignoring resolution)

  Frankly, I find it silly to have a mouse powered by batteries. Unless you have a 34inch plasma monitor, I don't see the reason why you need to be 10 feet away from your keyboard. I know there are wireless keyboards too, but if you're 10 feet away, you'll be typing in font size 36.

  for ppl like me, i sure forget to charge the mouse batteries.
  
  btw, what if batteries life die? maybe After 2-3yr, the mouse batteries only last me for 2-3hr???

  A clutter free desk is what I would love to have.
  
  I'll go for a wireless keyboard if I have the chance too.

  Is as good as a wired mouse, only need to recharge or change ur batteries once a wwhile.
  
  yes its sensitive, got many friends using for FPS games, all working fine
  
  Connection break off? maybe when the batteries runs weak or being interfered by other radio frequency (27mHz) devices.
  
  personally I still feel that I can entertain the mess on my desk at the moment... so I switched back to a wired mouse, save batteries.

  I'll switch to wireless anyday, vanquishing cable clutter would be such a plus.
  Now if my satelite speakers could be wireless..
