Last time, I used to move my mouse with a piece of newspaper then I sometimes get misses when I keep moving the newspaper while playing osu! Then last week, I bought a mouse pad from Wal-Mart and test it out with my normal-size, cheap wired mouse, but it still crappy as I moved the mouse. And this Sunday, I bought a wireless mouse with a nano USB receiver and it was great as it working well...

In all honesty, try applying some common sense...
Anything wireless is generally applicable for mobile use(traveling, on the go etc.) or extremely confined spaces(note: absolutely no space for any wire to fold or stack in a particular spot or it can't reach your PC).

Whether or not your horrible wired mouse(if it indeed skipping) is comparably worse than your wireless is just a testament to the quality of your mouse, rather than the overall difference between the two.

Wireless mice will always be inferior, as ampzz has stated, from the "x millisecond" delay as a result of wireless capability and the general inconsistency(from wireless "gaming" mice after extensive use)of the sensors.

In terms of the wire getting in the way, just tape the cable to the end of the desk at a point where it's enough to move around your mousepad without dragging the rest of the cable, or just eBay a cheap mouse bungee.

Depends on the mouse and personal. My friend has R.A.T.7 and I have R.A.T.9. They are just same but wired or wireless. Of course we tried both of them. And he prefer wired and I prefer wireless (Actually we bought together after we tried at shop.)
Yeah. That's the story of mine.

I have the wireless G700. And for more than just use in Osu!, I like it a lot. Charge it while sleeping and game while awake. It is possible it is holding me back in response time but in all mouse uses considered, I'm sticking with it over wired. It's nice to pull my mouse all around without making sure I have the slack I need or pushing against extra slack.

SPOILER
And what MMzz said. If your are really looking to cut down on the dilution of your mental processes by an unintuitive middle-man aka peripheral, buy a tablet. It's the most intuitive choice. Behind direct mind control.
Which we are actually getting closer to accomplishing. There was a demo where a guy was controlling the new windows 8 with his eyes. Imagine playing osu! with your eyes and/or brain directly.

That would blow all other peripherals out of the water in terms of intuitive effectiveness. Because it would be your direct mental output. If you still did bad after that, you could only blame it on your "bad brain".

None of the wireless mice are as light as wired mice and they also have milliseconds delays. And it's way worse when you're running low on battery. For gaming purpose, wired > wireless.

Wired mice FTW ( and they're cheaper as well :D)

In all honesty, I haven't had any difficulties (other than the occasional drop out) when playing with a BT mouse so while wired does offer faster response time, I've never been in a situation where I'm like 'DAMN this lag!' or noticed any for that matter so I personally don't think it matters whether it's a wired or wireless mouse.

The sad truth .. It's like a sudden fps drop for me with a wireless mouse

True. But for me, I like using heavy mouse. I put additional weight in my mouse. And .. I actually couldn't see problems of delays when I play. Battery problem might annoying. Can't disagree about this one :)
So in my opinion, it's just varies from person.

for me wireless is bad because it always has a delay time during jumps.
i don't have any problems with the wire mouse if i place the wire behind the moniter

wow and I thought I was bad, wireless mouses have a much larger input delay than a wired mouse even the good ones and in a game where the dpi counts and the reaction time as well it isn't recommended no really don't do it man

Wired> Wireless all they, it's mainly the sensors and batteries running out that gets me :/

I played a little wired today. I noticed an improvement.

That was the first lesson I ever learned in osu!. That was 3 years ago.

For the wired one, it's sucks because I sometimes get misses.
if you think wireless mouse is better, use it.

That's what I meant. Unlike the wired mouse, your cord will end up on a tangled mess. LOL!!!!

But then people will start threads like thousands out there asking "Why do I fail or How does cookiezi play or w/e".

LOL!!! We have the same thing. But combos are close to the end are not that bad. All we need is pointers.

Does anyone even understand what this is even supposed to mean?

Don't know if you guys are serious, but latest wireless mouse have a response time of about 1ms, which is faster than the 2ms response time most wired mouses have. You can say whatever you want, I've played FPS and RTS always with a wired mouse, and then I switched to Razer's Mamba and I never felt any delay AT ALL.

Only con is that the mice is heavier than a wired one because of the battery, which sucks for playing osu!, so yeah wired wins, but don't go yelling LOL WIRELESS MOUSE = DELAY because you're living in the past guys, wireless mouse have achieved zero lag already, unless every mouse producer is lying.
Xaffy
All mice razer currently sell have a refresh rate of 1ms.

OP just bought a shitty wired and wireless mice and tried to compare them, also bought one of those cheap walmart mouse pads that are worse than a taped piece of paper.

After having used wired mice all my life, I bought a wireless one last year. I can't say that I noticed any delay. There sure may be one, but it's too small to be really noticeable.

At least, I highly doubt that I would play better with a wired one.

By all means, play with whatever you want. We already gave you the suggestions.
But I highly doubt a player with a total score of 2,629,658 can really say much about this.

this is why I waited until this year before posting here. Now with a total score of 80,347,406,143, people might listen to me! \:D/

I got convinced now that wired>wireless. Tried the mouse of my brother, a Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 for an hour or so, and now that im back to my wireless, i feel delay and also it feels heavy. :cry: Man im so frustrated now that i dont feel like playing till i have my own wired one.

Wireless equipment might sound nice, but imo I would rather not deal with delay and battery issues. Idk toooo much about how wireless equipment works, but surely there has to be some type of delay that is present with Wireless, that isn't there with Wired

Recently tried a wireless mouse that came with my new All-In-One PC (VAIO brand as well). I find it hard to position since it's much more sensitive than my wired mouse. This doesn't seem to happen in anything else but on osu! it makes the game that much harder. Even after cranking down the sensitivity in-game the wireless mouse just doesn't go the distance it should most of the time which made doing spinners and jumps a lot more difficult.

Wired mouse for life (In osu! anyway).

I've played with a wireless and did not like it, it was very sensitive and i failed almost all just like Dieathan say.
