I can't get it to work so that I can see it change so I know when to click.

I did manage .185 though. $\:D/$

I managed a .22, though most of mine were .24s and .25s.

I noticed a huge improvement when I switched from my wireless mouse to my keyboard. Evidently the time it takes for the signal to travel is measurable. I also noticed a significant improvement in response time when I stopped staring at the button, and instead stared at the large blank white space to the left of the screen.

I don't know how some of you can get .14s...

Being a gamer probably has a lot to do with it.

Yes, now I see why they say wired mice are so necessary for gamers... A corded mouse seems as if it might add as much as .05 seconds to response time. I always thought such a small number would be unnoticeable, but I can tell the difference here!

Ah well, the small drawback in response time is overwhelming made up for by the functionality and sheer comfort of my Logitech MX1000 (Laser mouse.

)

Wired definitely provides an advantage. I have used wireless, but always seem to do better with wired devices. In this case, I'll sacrifice convenience for speed. If I wasn't a gamer, though, it would be wireless all the way.

I agree.

My best was 0.25 seconds. Could be better...
