"Excellant mouse" | 2009-10-30 |

The G7 wireless mouse is an excellant mouse which I enjoy using. I have other good mice including the logitec MX518, and the MS sidewinder game mouse, but this is my favorite one now.
The G7 out performs all other mice I have tried, I actually had to use the software to slow it down on the higher settings. 2000 DPI is a little to fast for me. It has very smooth action on my mouse pad.
The Logitech software works very well with this mouse allowing you 5 different DPI settings, however I find the 3 standered settings sufficent for 1st person shooter or regular work on the desk top.
The only weakness this mouse has, and it really isn't that bad is the batteries life is around 7 hours then you have to switch to the back up battery which sit's in it's charger. This doen't take very long and the mouse program will tell you when the mouse battery is getting critically low.
For the current money (around $60) I find this mouse an excellant deal. |

| I was replacing a wired G5 mouse when I purchased this one. The ergonomics of the mouse are excellent; it really feels comfortable in your hand (sorry lefties.) Further, they include two batteries so you never have to 'dock' the mouse...you can just swap out the batteries when it stops responding. I also like the ability to change the tracking speed on the fly. All in all, I would repurchase this mouse and recommend it to anyone looking for a wireless solution. (Tracks as well as any corded mouse I've ever had!) |

Ive since owned this mouse on two different occassions. Once several years ago,used very low DPI, like lower than 800..seems like this mouse doesnt like lower than 800. could be the game i dont know. Got rid of the mouse back then, then bought it for the girlfriend and decided to give it a go again. and finally decided to get my own again. read the review on what i though of the mouse
Ill explain the 5 rating in better detail below.
i'll start with the small negative's I have first
1. The texture of the mouse, not as smooth as the MX518, like i said small negative
2. The single back button the left side...where is my forward button? also why is it so far up the side.I have small hands, therefore im hitting it with the tip of my thumb.
3. I'd say low battery life, but they last like 6-8 hours(or more, didnt pay attention) and you get 2 batteries,(kind of like a pro/negative when you look at it
Now onto the positive
1. excellent response time. ive used an MX700 years ago, and you could tell the wireless lag in FPS games. there is absolutely no lag in this.(coming from years of MX518 use) I was able to play Counter-Strike Source with no problem.
2. The DPI button switching is flawless..as many of you MX518 user's can attest to, the switching was horrible. But with this mouse, it was done perfectly. Switches with ease, no changing back when it wants, and it tells you where it is. no longer guessing what DPI you had set it to.
3. Battery switching is almost instant. takes longer to take the battery out and put the extra one in then it does for it to kick in.
4. No Cord. no more pulling the cord in the right direction for you FPS guys, to get your game on.
5. Works great with Windows 7 (currently only release candidate is out)
I can't think of anymore at the moment |

I was debating whether to get the G7 or the MX revolution. Since I do a little big of gaming, I decided to get this mouse and I have to say, I'm pleased with it. I don't have that many needs with regards to changing speeds, customized buttons, etc, so the functionality of this mouse is fine. It has a nice grip and feels comfortable in my hand for hours at a time.
For gaming, I don't notice any issues with it being wireless and lagging. The battery lasts for a little less than one's day use for me (8 hours or so), but switching between the batteries is basically painless. |

My last mouse was the older sibling of the MX nano. I liked it because it was small, light, and traveled well on my desk while never skipping at all. But the thing that aggravated me the most was the "fast scrolling" feature, where the wheel click is ROBBED and replaced with a devil machination that disables my click in lieu of a fast wheel. Man was not intended to not click wheel, and it was a total affront to my sense.
In order to have a decent wireless mouse, I had to get the gaming one. But since I also game with my PC, naturally it was a wise purchase. The mouse is LARGE. Dainty hands need not apply, as this mighty pointer of vengeance was meant to be held in the hands of a CHAMPION! The sides are made of the finest grit material so that not even the oil residue from a Hot Pocket will allow your hand to escape your mouse, your grip forever bound to your weapon of choice (until you need a bathroom break). DPI buttons are located under the...
OK, here's where it gets 4 stars not 5. There's 2 issues I have with the wheel. The first is that it sticks out WAY too much. I assume this is so you can use the next useless feature in logitech's awesome arsenal: SIDE SCROLLING! The oversized scroll wheel allows you to side scroll your way through any horizontally plump document with ease. But in a world of widescreen monitors who needs this. I guess if I could send this back to 1995 naked and speaking an austrian accent I might be a little happier, as long as no one sent huge pictures back in time to try and kill me. The second issue is the wheel click must have been calibrated for Larry, logitech's resident arm wrestling champion and wheel clicker. The wheel click is a workout in of it's own, and you'll manage to scroll up or down in your quest to push the wheel down unless you attack it vertically like a hawk catching the downed field mouse.
The DPI indicator has 3 lights. At first it is set to LOW MED HIGH until you install the software, then it uses 2 lights for between levels. You can set the dpi between 2000 and 400, meaning you can be someone's worst enemy if you turn around and later when you grab a sniper rifle. It's by no means an industry leading setting right now, but for a wireless mouse it does a greta job in dispensing hurt cheese and the pain deli.
Leaving the mouse alone activates a minigame called "Do I get to swap out the battery now?" Adding 2 battery packs to this pack was a nice touch, since I'm pretty sure that they wanted to add 1 big battery but someone said "Hey, we can simply slip it into 2 battery packs and create an awesome feeling of POWERING UP!" Sure enough, it feels like reloading the click of a gun, the notches lining up and the satisfying click of the battery. Don't worry, you'll tire of it because you're bound to do it every few days.
There's the remnants of the dual button left of the side. Like Robin Williams without chest hair it sits there with nothing to do. Lazily, I assigned him the job of wheel click when I don;t feel like working out my finger.
It's a great mouse all around, and perfect for the non serious gamer. Unless you have dainty hands and cannot pass into the fields of Valhalla because you cannot wield a proper weapon. |
