Has anyone tried using this for PC gaming peripherals? (I plan to use my Razer Sabertooth; and placement of only about 5 meters from my PC)

i tried the wireless Iogear with a movie on a memory stick and it wont give enough bandwith to have a smooth playing on my laptop, so i guess it wont work !, but maybe under the apps that you plan to use it for it gonna be ok !

I havent', but I can tell you that I'm using it with a PC oscilloskope and you don't fell any difference between a direct connection (in the PC) or a connection via this Hub.

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. It doesn't matter how close you are to the PC or the router. The problem is in the software which comes with it. It is slow, cumbersome, unstable and unreliable. It takes forever to connect on start-up and it can go down at any moment. In addition it doesn't work in network environment with multiple users. Sorry to dissapoint!

Not long enough to reach across your desk down to the usb port at the back of the pc. Also lights out in no time. I suggest you're better off adding extra usbs on the motherboard. At least that's what I've done.

Just tried the distance and mine seems to work quite well at 20+ feet. Mind you USB receiver is in the front clear view.

Hello, Sarah. I returned this item due to it not supporting my PC strategy. It didn't allow me to use my wireless keyboard/mouse combo on my laptop and PC simultaneously. The combo uses minimal power so the device may not support your strategy. The device's cost is so low that there is minimal risk for you to order it and assess its efficacy in supporting your strategy. Good luck.

I agree, the reception from the remote is pretty bad. I don't have a distance problem, but I do seem to need to have the right angle. I would look into a universal remote if it bothers you that much. Logitech has some nice models. Good luck.

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

For presentations when the PC needs to be closer to the projector than you. I've been interested in the range of these 2.4GHz mice, myself, and am trying to balance their range & features against a Bluetooth mouse which seem to claim 66ft range. This is supposed to be a successor to the V400 and Logitech's press release for the V400 claimed it had a range of up to 30ft. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/about/pressroom/information/FR/FR,contentid=10960

I would not recommend it for gaming. When mine was working the response time was too slow to be used for quick input. My Sharkk mouse

it depends on distance between PC and keyboard. You shouldl have no trouble with this cable it works perfect with no problems.

yup. use it to skype with friends while gaming all the time. however it does pick up noise from farther away too, so if you're looking for something super high quality, i'd recommend something else

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

Regrets, but I cannot help there ... I bought it for PC/Skype, not gaming. All it is is basically a set of speakers (headphones) and a microphone, so I'd imagine it would work with your game system, but it won't do anything like vibrate or whatever game-specific headgear might do.

It will not work over 3 meters, no matter how I tried. Basically, it is just a wireless display limited to desktop area. Only useful when you have a device without any display output ports and you need to connect to an external screen.

Doubt it... range on this is VERY limited. If your PC is right above the radio and there is no metal in the way (and no interference), it might work, but it's a long shot... (this thing is not designed with long range in mind)

My understanding is that it isn't using bluetooth, as that would add to delay for gaming. It uses a proprietary communication, which I think is unencrypted to reduce response time and make this viable for gaming. I've never used a wireless mouse with better response time, feels same as a wired one to me.

I've used my mouse from a distance of about 8 feet with no issues. Most "low power" bluetooth connections are typically good up to 30 ft (10m) if the path is unobstructed. There are bluetooth range extenders available if needed.

Nope, it works well connecting single-plug gaming headsets (and some earbuds) with laptops & Notebooks that have separate mic and headphone jacks. Totally useful for that, it's what I bought mine for and I use it daily.
