Logitech G700s Rechargeable Gaming Mouse

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT A GLANCE (+) Not just for gamers...Great mouse for business professionals (+) 13 customizable buttons streamline your work (+) Feels great in your hand (+) Buttons easily reachable (+) Intuitive app for button customization (-) Battery life abysmal, but I found fixes that work for me (-) Switching profiles is very clunky -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was glad to read the reviews and find that I'm not only person who has purchased this mouse for purposes other than gaming. Overall, I am ecstatic about the degree to which this mouse has condense repetitive multi-step computer tasks to just one button press. Not only that, it's motivated me to come up with some strategies to maximize battery life that I will share in this review. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE'S HOW LIFE IS BETTER WITH THE G700 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (+) It feels comfortable. For me that's saying a lot because for the past 2 years, I've had to switch to a vertical mouse from Evoluent because of tendonitis in my right hand. (+) Buttons within reach. This mouse pushes the envelop on the number of buttons you can have without putting them out of reach or having to make the mouse bigger. Yes, there are some buttons that are a bit of stretch, but I'm just assign them to the less frequently use functions. (+) Free spinning mouse wheel. I have no idea why this feature is not on all mice because I don't really see any downside to it...only upside. It's amazing to get to from the bottom of the a long DIGG article you just read to the top with a couple flicks. (+) Multiple profiles. You can assign up to 5 profiles to optimize for different apps you use. So far I've got two set up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A SAMPLING OF MY BUTTON CUSTOMIZATIONS: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aside from the ordinary assignments, I use: (+) Next on Chrome. This enables me to rapidly go from one tab to another one. This saves time when you have dozens of tabs open (+) Switch apps. This saves a bit of time instead of using Win Key + Tab. (+) Close Tab and Reopen Tab. When I accidentally close a tab, I'm able to bring it back instantly. (+) Right / Left. I use this for an app that supports right to left scrolling. (+) Change subject line. This is a macro I created which condenses about dozen keyboard steps into one mouse click. When I'm forwarding an email in Gmail, it allows me to quickly change the subject line. As well it's way less laborious than performing the entire operation via your mouse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TWO FRUSTRATIONS: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Like practically everybody else who owns this mouse, I was frustrated by the very short battery life, with pretty much amounts to half a work day of normal usage. 2) While it is possible to assign a button to switch between profiles, in practice, it's just not practical. Ideally switching profiles should be fast. And there should be away using a heads up display or maybe some indicator on your screen that tells you what profile you happen to be using. But no, it's slow. And unless you have the actual clunky big interface open, you really don't know which profile you're in. Yes, you can get lucky, but the mouse is very slow in switching between profiles, and sometimes it seems to require more than one button press. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW I HAVE INCREASED BATTERY LIFE TO 2 DAYS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use my computer for about 12 hours a day. Since implementing all of the steps below, my battery life has increased from 5 hours to about 2 days. Here are the steps which helped me. Keep in mind that my configuration is aimed at non-gamers who prioritize efficiency above performance. But at the same time, I have not noticed any decrease in performance in my normal business usage: Also some, most or all of this may be documented by other reviewers. So I don't claim that any of what's below is original: 1) Switch your profile to Power Saver. 2) Reduce DPI Sensitivity to 125 3) Replace the the included 1800 mAh AA battery with something like the EBL AA 2800mAh High Performance Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack which, after 20 minutes of research, I purchased. Today is Day 2 without a recharge and I'm still at two bars. I'm guessing that by the end of the day, I'll have to recharge. That's it for now. I will update this review if needed.

I bought this on Black Friday when the price was only $50 which was an amazing deal for a mouse like this. I wasn't sure if I wanted this or the Logitech Performance MX Mouse which was the same price at the time. The G700s has about the same form factor as the MX mouse as well as having several extra bells and whistles so the decision was no contest to get the G700s. This mouse is amazing for general use as well as gaming. Hardware: The mouse itself is a little heavier than what I was used to for a mouse, but after using it for so long it's not so bad. The top of the mouse is nice and smooth while the sides has a rough sand paper feel to it. This took a while to get used to as well but I really like it now. It also feels really great in the hand and it is a pleasure to use for long periods of time. There are 13 buttons on here. There's the normal left, right, and middle click, with 4 buttons on the side, 3 next to the left mouse button, 1 below the scroll wheel, and the scroll wheel can tilt left and right. I tend to use the 4 buttons on the side the most as they are comfortable and easy to reach. The rest of the buttons still get used but not nearly as often. The mouse is wireless as long as an option to be wired to charge during use. I will admit that the cable that comes with the mouse is thick like everyone else says, but I don't find it much of a problem. It is the same type of cable used to charge phones so what I do is use a spare phone charger cable and it works better on my mouse than the one that it comes with. I have no problem getting it to fit into the mouse as well. Battery life is mostly what everyone else says about this mouse. It comes with an Eneloop 1900mah AA rechargeable battery and I get about 2 days of battery life on this mouse. The nice thing about this is that if it's not good enough for you, you could get a high capacity battery or get multiple batteries and switch them whenever one dies. The battery life is good enough for me as I plug my mouse in every night and the cable is on my desk ready to be plugged in if it's low. The scroll wheel is a dream and was one of the biggest reasons I wanted a mouse from Logitech. It is a free scrolling wheel that you just flick once and it just continues to move. I honestly think that every mouse needs this feature and anyone wanting a new mouse in general should get a mouse with hyper scrolling. Even if you want something cheap the Logitech M500 has this feature and should be a great mouse if all you want is the hyper scrolling. There is also a button to change the scroll wheel back to the default clicky scrolling if you ever need it to be precise. Another killer feature which is also very underrated is the on-board memory. All of the settings for this mouse is stored onto the mouse itself and is not controller by a program running in the background. My computer dual boots Windows and Linux and I am constantly switching between the two. With this mouse having on-board memory, I only have to set it up once and it works the exact same no matter what operating system I'm using. I have never had a feature of the mouse not work properly on Linux and works flawlessly. The mouse can store up to 5 profiles which each store different assignments to each button. Each profile can be changed by a push of a button on the mouse. The mouse has a wireless adapter that comes with it and is plugged into your computer/laptop. I have not had any issues with latency with this adapter. The box comes with an extender to get the adapter closer to the mouse but for me I do not need it. The bottom of the mouse has an off and on switch as well as 4 large pads and the laser itself. The mouse can go up to 8200dpi. I don't go anywhere near that high for dpi but it's good to know that it's in option if I ever need to in the future. There are 3 LEDs on the side of the mouse which shows several different things. Depending on what color they are shows what it is showing. Green shows battery life, orange shows profile settings, and red shows dpi settings. Software: Logitech has software that goes with the mouse that can be downloaded on their website. This software will only work on Windows but once the mouse is setup you don't have to touch the software. Attempting to run the program on Linux with WINE will work, but the program can not detect the mouse, therefore it is useless to run on Linux. With the program you can assign each button to do absolutely anything you want it to do. You can make them do anything like back/forward buttons, volume controls, dpi control, battery life check, as well as any button on the keyboard. You can also make the mouse to macros, which is a combination of buttons on the keyboard. This is useful for making the mouse do copy and paste as well as whatever combination you want. The dpi settings let you set the dpi into 5 different notches. These notches are set from lowest to highest and you can set the dpi for each notch. When you change the dpi on the mouse it will go up and down these notches or cycle through them depending on how your mouse is set up. You can set different dpi notches for different profiles which can be useful for people who game a lot with this mouse. Other: In this section I'm going to post some settings that I have on my mouse to give a general idea on what you can do with this mouse for different situations or games. Remember that these are not the default profiles and each button can be changed if it is not to your liking. The button below the scroll wheel is universally used to change the profiles of the mouse. The dpi notches are also all the same which ranges from 1000-5000. I only use 2 profiles on my mouse but more will possibly be used as I use this mouse more. For general use, I have the bottom two side buttons as a back and forward buttons for browsing the internet. The top front button cycles through the dpi while the top back button checks the battery status. When I tilt the scroll wheel left and right, it acts as volume up and down which works really well. The top 3 buttons get used for copy/paste as well as refreshing a page. I keep another profile for playing games such as MMOs and shooters. The top two thumb buttons are used for going up and down on the dpi notches. I have the left and right scroll wheel buttons disabled while the rest of the buttons are used for buttons on the keyboard to do things such as using items for melee attacks on shooters. In conclusion there are many great things about this mouse. Anyone looking for a great mouse for any reason at all should get this mouse. The Performance MX has nothing extra compared to this and this is easily the superior mouse compared to the two. I don't like that it is classified as a gaming mouse because it works great for general computer use as well as gaming. If you need a mouse for several operating systems or devices then there is no other equal. This mouse is amazing for it's unique features. I would have happily paid the higher price for this mouse and would easily recommend this to anyone wanting a gaming mouse.

Loving this mouse. PROS: -Lots of buttons (13) and I really LOVE the 3 buttons beside my left mouse button! -Buttons are completely configurable using the downloadable logitech software. -Configure up to 6 DPI settings -Choose polling rate (reports per second) up to 1000 (I'm using 500 atm) -Ergonomic, even for my small hands. More info below. -The software to really use this mouse doesn't use much resources, and works great. More about the software below. CONS: -Battery life: I get maybe a day out of full charge. If you plan on couch gaming, having to charge often could become a pain in the butt. If you will be using this on your desktop where your cord is readily available should the battery get low, then this is no issue at all. I didn't take any stars off for this considering what this mouse can do, and it's age. -Weight: As I understood it, the 700s (emphasis on the 's', as in 700, S) was supposed to include weights you could use to add weight to the mouse. I may have been mistaken, but i also ordered this in USED -VERY GOOD condition. Although it looks brand new, the description never mentioned it included any weights so I don't feel cheated or upset, I knew it when I purchased it but I do feel the mouse is a bit light and would like to have tried it with a weight or 2 added. Or even if it had the ability to use an extra battery for longer battery life and added weight that may have been pretty cool. Overall, I don't count the weight for a loss and it's no lighter than the cheap wireless mouse I upgraded from so I didn't remove a star. DETAILS about the software -Download the drivers and software from logitech to really open up what this mouse can do. The software allows you to select 2 modes of operation for the mouse. The default mode, and the mode I use is selecting profiles via the mouse's onboard memory. ONBOARD MEMORY The mouse's memory can store up to 6 profiles. Each profile contains what each button is configured todo (including macros), your customized DPI settings (up to 6 per profile), and your polling rate. I prefer this mode of operation, and I only use 1 profile, the first one. I like my mouse to act the same across the board and any tweaks done per game if needed. You can change the profile via the software, but you can switch between the customized DPI settings you setup in a profile on the fly via the mouse. By default, it's the front and rear of the 3 keys beside the left mouse button, the front being move forward to the next DPI, and the rear being reverse. I wanted to use those buttons for other things and set one button to change my DPI settings and that too was an option. Instead of setting a button for DPI up or DPI down, you can set on for DPI cycling, that's awesome. PER GAME PROFILES You can also set the mouse up to run a different customized profile based on what game you run. I'm sure it's awesome, but seems like too much tweaking. I like to keep it simple so I didn't mess with this. ERGONOMICS A few reviews I read and watched mentioned the mouse being large and not ideal for small hands. I wouldn't say it's large, but maybe tall. I'm only 5'6". My hands may not be small, but they're not large. They are proportional to my height and I think this mouse feels great. My last mouse was short, so the height change took a little bit to settle into, but now, I love it. With all the features, you really can't beat this mouse. It's truly a gaming mouse. I got it for $35 used off here and it looks new so I'm real happy with it.

It's a nice mouse with a bunch of buttons. I'm not sure about how it feels for gaming. But it is also good for non-gaming purposes. I got it since it's quite cheap and have the swag to it. About the battery life: It lasts for about 2 to 3 days on a full charge, and frequent usage(prabably a total of about 6 hours per day) Comes with a eneloop battery preinstalled Comes with a slot in the battery compartment for storing the receiver Comes with a USB cable that fits into the recess on the microUSB side of the mouse. Not sure if the USB cable is too stiff, or I have used wireless mouse for too long and my table is cluttered. I unplug the receiver and plug in the cable to use it directly over USB when charging. Goes to full charge from below 10% in about a few hours. About the buttons: All buttons, including the left and right mouse button, and the horizontal scrollling tilt button, are programmable to mouse functions, preset key combos and custom key combos. (well except for the mechanical switch button controlling the scrollwheel mode) There are 5 on-mouse profiles that you can store for different usage scenarios. But in the software I can't find a way to stop the profile from auto switching. I don't know how to pair it with an app also. It always goes to the fifth profile which maximise or moves an application window to the left or right when the 4 side buttons are clicked. I want to use the first profile which switches tabs in chrome and goes back and forward in webpages. In the end I deleted the other profiles. About the scrollwheel There is a mechanical locking button that controls whether the scroll wheel have the smooth scrolling (flying through sort of felling) or the normal clicking kind of scrolling. I think it lowers a spring that goes into the clicking grooves of the wheel when locked into the lower position. When in the free scrolling position, pushing the lock button stops the flying (figuratively) wheel, so you can stop at a position quite precisely if you are fast. Useful for going to the bottom of a webpage or going to the top of a webpage. Also useful for navigating through long word documents or excel spreadsheets. Horizontal scrolling supported only in very few applications. This is not a mouse problem though. Just that those applications haven't implemented this feature. (review from a non gaming user of the mouse) Update 02/28/2017 Seems to frequently experience failing mouse buttons with logitech mouse within a year (the other one is an M325 if I remember correctly). Single click becomes double click and dragging becomes double click as well. This happened in 2016 for this one, but I just thought about updating the review now. I took it apart and cleaned and bent the mouse button contacts a bit and the functionality restored. Also, I have spilled some unmixed canned soup onto the mouse in 2015 and the LEDs started behaving weird a few months later. The red part of the dual color LED for the topmost LED is not lighting up. While fixing the contacts, I also desoldered the upper board and inspected the lower board around the LED area, but nothing much could be found. There doesn't seem to be any liquid damage. I kinda blew the dust away and soldered the top board back. When I turned on the mouse, the top red LED worked for a few months before it stops lighting up again. Also the profiles frequently resets itself so I have to reconfigure the side mouse buttons for the features of switching back and forth in tabs and going backward and forward. But I have to say its pretty durable(except for some DIY fixes with the micro switch and the LED) since it's still working after 2 years so I couldn't really take another star off. I might try sending it in to squaretrade to see if they can do anything with the LED. (I was in China when doing the DIY fixes) Hope they don't void my warranty for the molten plastic inside when I was desoldering.

I had the original g700 since it came out 4 years ago. About 6 months ago after constantly dealing with the double click bug and dissembling to fix it every few weeks, I decided to upgrade to the new version. It's pretty much the same with a few distinct differences: 1) The coating on the top and side thumb area. I can get very sweaty, and my sweat is very acidic. I usually burn holes through the finish on keyboards and on mice. On my last g700 I had worn off all the thumbpad area material, to where it was just completely smooth. Likewise the top got the finish worn off and just became very smooth and annoying. So far after 6 months of use, there's no sign of this same issue (was definitely showing after 6mo of use on the original g700). 2) It can opperate with just the USB cable plugged in, and not need the wireless adapter. My g700 required the usb wireless adapter plugged in, even when using the usb charging cable. 3) 8200dpi vs the 5700dpi on the g700 original. I use linux and in order to program the buttons and setup the profiles I used a Window VM in VirtualBox - and it works great for programming this. Once you configure the mouse you don't need their application or anything running as all of it is stored on the mouses internal rom. I don't really MMO (aside from occasional STO), but I do work and program heavily with this mouse. I find it very convenient to program key combinations to buttons, such as shift+insert, ctrl+f, ctrl+v, etc. It has 4 buttons on the side and 4 up top (plus 1 for the wheel scroll selector). I use two of the buttons up top to cycle through DPI settings on a profile, and another to cycle through the profiles themselves (which change the mapping). Depending on what I'm doing I try to keep the DPI and poll settings down as much as possible to conserve battery life. I use http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009H5VVM/ batteries, and can easily get 72hrs on a fairly aggressive profile with a good 12+hrs of use a day. I definitely recommend this mouse to anyone in need of a good quality gaming or productivity mouse. It is highly configurable, it is very well weighted (although if they added weight options it would be better), fits very comfortably in ones hand, and is reasonably priced. I'm not sure if they used the same buttons on the g700s as the g700, as I've yet to disassemble this one. However I'm hoping they at least came from a newer and more string quality controlled batch, so they don't suffer the same fate as my last (and a lot of other peoples) Logitech mice.

I got this mouse because I had a crappy chinese off brand gaming mouse that I hated and it wasn't easy to transport because it was wired. I got this mouse because there was a deal where I could get it for $56, almost 50% off the normal price of $100. Pros: -Very comfortable to hold if you find the right grip -Tilting scroll wheel (I don't knock my scroll wheel very often so this was a nice feature to have) -Every button except the infinityscroll can be reprogrammed so if you want to play a prank on a friend who has this mouse, You could program every button to the windows key so the start menu opens whenever they click a button on the mouse as a prank -Rechargeable with replaceable battery and you can charge it on the mouse's micro USB port so you rarely have to remove the battery except to replace it every few years but DO NOT PLUG IN A STANDARD ALKALINE BATTERY. It may work but instead of being able to charge it, you will eventually cause a fire plugging it in. Only use NIMH rechargeable AA batteries because that is what Logitech recommends -The infinityscroll is super useful when you need to get to the bottom of a forum thread to see if there are any responses or scrolling to get to the sitemap at the bottom of most websites. -The hydrophobic coating not only works, it works well. I wet my finger under the faucet (not with the way you think if you are perverted) and most of it slid right down the side but not all of it. I did get my finger really wet (again, not the way you think) so I am still impressed. The rest came right off with one wipe of a paper towel (on the mouse, not where you think if you are at it again) -Tracks pretty well on almost every surface. My crappy wanna-be gaming mouse couldn't even track at all on my mousepad, marble and real wood tables while this one tracks on my mousepad, marble and I haven't tested it on a wood table and I would expect it to have some difficulty with that because the laser can't sense very far. My crappy excuse for a mouse I had before actually would perform better at that because I could hold it 6 inches above my desk and it would work but I don't know a single person who uses their mouse slightly above the desk or any real mouse that is made for that. (Razer's project Mcfly was a joke but that would be a great gaming mouse because the resistance of sliding it across the surface would be eliminated for faster movement *hint hint) -Amazing unboxing experience. Definitely different than what you would usually find but they made it work. Somehow, the first thing you see is the mouse but it is the last thing you take out works. Plus, you get to see the accessories that you will never use like the USB extension, and the manual, and the USB extension, and the USB extension and especially the USB extension. Did I mention the USB extension? -Unlike literally every other wireless mouse on the market, there is almost no latency over wireless. There is actually even less latency than most wired mice. It performs the same when used wired which I should probably mention, -You have an option to use wired. The battery adds a lot of weight to the mouse making it significantly heavier than most gaming mice. Doesn't really slow me down but if that is going to slow you down, you can pull out the battery and use it wired with a micro USB cable. -SO MANY BUTTONS!!! Cons: -The tilting scroll wheel does not default to sidescrolling. Not that big of an issue considering you can program that easily so I am not going to lower the rating but still a bit disappointing. -Hard to find a grip comfortable for you but once you find it, you never have to worry about it again so not enough to take a star off. -The side material is not as grippy as I would like but still does the job very well and I would assume it is hard to make a hydrophobic coating or rubber so not much they could have been to change that so once again, score is not lowered. -Plastic. It is not cheap feeling at all but I would expect it to feel much more premium considering the usual price is $100 but anything more premium would have increased the weight so I am going to let this one slide with the others. -Significantly heavier than most mice. This is because of the battery but I am not a competitive player so it doesn't affect me. If it is going to slow you down, I did mention earlier that you can pull out the battery and use it wired. -G11 is hard to reach so I recommend keeping it as profile switch. The button is probably best there because you will need to change profiles if you have one for Chrome and another for photoshop for example. You won't have to open up the logitech gaming software to switch but you can set it to switch profiles when it detects a certain application but it still might be useful if you save profiles directly to the mouse and ever need to use it on another computer. This seems like a con but is actually a pro but I put it under the cons because some people will be affected by that but this one still slides once again keeping the rating the exact same. Verdict: If you need a gaming mouse that is wireless for mobility to go with your gaming laptop when you are play candy crush at starbucks (BTW, if you are buying this to play candy crush, you need a tablet for that instead. Experience is actually better) it is still the best mouse I have ever used and I would call this thing an MX Master killer but I can't make that call because I have never used an MX master before.

Let me start off by explaining why i decided on this "wireless" mouse. I wanted a mouse that could play both fps games at low 400 dpi settings and a few rpgs/mobas with a bit more dpi 800+ that had multiple gaming profiles(<-for multiple computer use->) along with on board memory, these 3 capabilities were a must. With well placed buttons that had to be in the 7+ range for me and ergonomic w.o any buttons on the right side since i tend to squeeze those on accident resulting in me disabling the buttons...(mice ive owned in order dell(ball track), Logitech mx310, Razer Death Adder 3g i traded to a friend since i could not grip its plastic slippery right side, for his diamond back which had its rubber side grips that i favored, G9x, and now this G700s) ive also used various microsoft intelli mice a few gigabytes and some coolermaster storms that were the mice provided via cybercafe, which were all poor quality to me and in poor condition the intelli mice performed better in most cases. I got this to replace my G9x, its done its job well my only gripe is getting used to the sensor placement since my G9x had its sensor around the thumb area where this G700s has its sensor located under the scroll wheel. I wanted to stay laser to laser so i wouldnt have any transition from going back to optical. Do yourselves a favor and pick up http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JHKSMJU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1 its a well made purchase imo, sure the cord is a nice touch but its not practical as far as gaming use. Esp when using a laptop those batteries are equal to the one provided by logitech, and the link is the 4-pack that comes with the charger. You could even use the batteries in an xbox controller which is an added bonus for myself. The mouse does its job the software was easy to use/configure once you get used to the interface customization seems to be similar to setpoint their previous software. I like this mouse for its onboard memory so i can use this mouse between my desktop and my laptop for gaming and i do not have the mouse software installed on my laptop. I play CS mostly at 400 dpi with two profiles one for buy hotkeys and another for dpi switching 200-400. The other profile is my stock one with lowest power use settings and it has the 3 g buttons near the left click for rewind, play/pause, FF. The top 2 side buttons for vol up/down. I keep the profile switching button the same as its stock setting, and i have 2 profiles for my mobas, and diablo. I dont even have to use the media controls on the mouse when i use my desktop bc my blackwidow ultimate has these hotkeys as function options in the f1-12 keys, so i can choose to change the button settings on the mouse to something else if i wish(but i keep it for when i use it with my laptop). I honestly do not like running razer synapse 2.0 it takes quite a bit of memory since both of my systems run 8gb and synapse uses between 40,000kb-60,000kb at a time this isnt something i want my computer monitoring or allocating towards at all if i am gaming and want lowest latency etc. I just use it to configure my keyboard then i exit it i also believe it is what initially caused issues with my software install of logitech gaming software. This was just another reason i couldnt go with the Deathadder since it lacked the necessary buttons to play rpgs/mobas and would require me to use synapse to configure my profiles etc. The Sensei raw by steelseries can only have 1 profile at a time which means its mobility and multigame buttonmapping would have to be configured via software every time you want to change it even though the software can support unlimited profiles...so i had to pass bc i dont want to constantly be swapping profiles via software game to game or mid game alt tabbed...i also had to pass on steelseries mice for this reason since the non raw sensei is flawed by its slippery when wet grip...i was too weary to try mionix naos and other brands because i had not owned those brands so i did not trust them with first hand experience though its a paradox if i never had one before how can i own a first one :) but making a purchase like this is a thing i only want to do once not return use return use etc... Battery life depends on your use(since powersettings range from extreme/heavy gaming, (moderate) gaming, and low or non gaming use). And how often you game. I highly vouch for http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JHKSMJU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1. These extra batteries that hold a long charge that also last 2100 charges, will go a long way to insure you never have to use the charging cable and you can avoid cord resistance which was one of the reasons i got this. Be sure to update the software asap, it is ran at 125hz stock and i had a bit of an issue installing the software on my win7 64-bit desktop i ended up getting the correct drivers from a foreign iteration of the logitech support site vs the US one for some reason there were "compatibility errors" with installing my 64bit win7 drivers on the us site. A note the way the mouse has its weight distribution could force some users to lift/use the mouse in a way that they are not used to or are not prepared to adapt to, for me its fine and i find it favorable given the sensors placement. The mouse holds true to its claim of having a sweat resistant coating, my hand doesnt get all sweaty like it does when gripping all plastic mice or the razer matte rubberish finish which causes me to over grip mice when i sweat. All in all 5/5 for me it does what i expected it to(various vid reviews and first hand reviews later) and it still has more in store for future endeavors with the macro capability that i have just barely began configuring, i rarely used my g9x for macro combinations but this mouse seems a bit more ergonomic for that type of use.

I've been using my Logitech G700S mouse for a week and this is my first impression the mouse so far. I'm a big fan of Logitech mice and I love that they have a great warranty to back them up. I currently own a Logitech G600, G9x and G700s and I have owned a classic mx518s in the past. Pros: - Great ergonomics mouse, although I prefer the shape of the G600 more because it's wider and it's has designated spots for for my pinky/fourth finger. - Left and right clicks feel much more clicky/responsive than the G600 - Uses standard rechargeable AA battery, easy to replace or to get extras. By default, it comes with 1900mAH Sanyo Eneloop. I'm going to try to get the 2500 mAH Eneloop XX AA batteries to get more battery life. The price difference between one 1900 mAH and a 2500 mAH AA battery Amazon is $3... and probably even less if they buy it wholesale. I can't help but feel that this should be included by default considering this is currently logitech's most expensive mouse. - Includes extra USB extension cable - Backed by Logitech's terrific 3 year warranty Cons: - Battery life is pretty awful, expect to charge it at least once a day. Logitech's website said 12 hours but I'd that its much lower than that. Changing it to power saving mode and turning polling all the way down doesn't seem to make much of a difference - Cable should be braided/more flexible: considering how poor the battery life is on the Logitech, you will use it while connected to the USB cable more often than you want to. The USB cable is a standard rigid usb cable and it is not braided, which absolutely makes 0 sense when considering how much the mouse costs and both the G9x (came out in 2009) and G600 had braided cable. - Heavier than my other mice because it uses 1 AA battery to power the mouse - No weight adjustment like the g9x - Super Buggy software, It would randomly reset my profile when I have it set to onboard memory and it load my mouse sensitivity to it's default settings. I did research on this and apparently it's a known issue. Also the software would often crash and sometimes would not detect the Logitech mouse even though it's working - Side buttons feels weird. I've only had it for a week so maybe it takes some time to get used to it but the placement of the side keys seems just a tad off for me. I used the side buttons a lot to go back and forward on webpages and it has by far the worst side buttons out of the 4 mice. I have a lot of small complaints in the Con list but overall I do think it's a good mouse and my biggest gripe is that the battery life is too short for my liking. Usually gamers would recommend getting a wired mouse over wireless one and while performance wise, I think that the G700s is every bit as good as any other wired mouse currently in the market, the battery is a deal breaker for me. It wouldn't bother me so much if Logitech included a better usb charging cable but using it with the horribly inflexible cable makes me want to swap back to my old mouse while this one is charging. I actually just tried using the USB cable that was included with my old Nook and it is much better than the default cable. Conclusion: Logitech makes some questionable design choices with this mouse. If you had a wireless gaming mice before in the past and know what you're getting into, by all means go for this one because it's a great wireless mouse and it's one of the best in the market. To those coming from wired mice, I would just stick with wired mice for now.

This is the second G700 mouse I've owned. I had to get a new one after the first started showing distinct signs of age (the infamous double-clicking problem). But here's the thing: Even after having the former G700 (non-"s") die out on me, I Still opted for the very same model for it's replacement - That alone would say a lot about what we're dealing with here. In my opinion, perhaps the best feature of this unit, not found anywhere else even in other Logitech mice. Besides the 13 all-programmable buttons and the ridiculously high precision and refresh speed of this piece, (I wonder in awe what sort of people would actually need a thousand polls a second at 8k+ DPI); Besides the flexible-yet-intuitive mapping software that integrates so well with the maker's other devices I can switch mouse profiles by the LCD display built into my G15 keyboard; Besides how it can operate wired or wireless at your most whimsical convenience... One feature takes the cake, The scroll wheel. This solid hunk of metal in the shape of a wheel is capable of a feat unknown to lesser mice: You can unlock the 'clicker'. Smooth as the wheel notches may be, there are situations (very common for me, as a game programmer) where a page is too long to simply keep rolling over and over one stop at a time. And that's'the 14th button, just "South" of the wheel itself. Push it to toggle the ratchet and let the wheel spin free! And this is where the mass of the metal wheel comes into play - The angular momentum of a wheel is generally proportional to it's mass, which is quite substantial (by mouse wheel standards) in the G700s. Once you give it a flick, it keeps on going until you put your finger down to stop it. Lock the ratchet back and carry on, precision and speed at the flick of a switch, literally. Some would argue that the design is not to their own comfort. Well, this is no argument to judge a mouse over, as we all got different hands with various shapes and sizes. I would say it is more on the "burly" side, anyways - so those with big and wide palms would find it to fit like the proverbial glove, whereas more slender-handed users might feel it as perhaps a little clunky to the grip. Another possible downside might be that by the end of it's service life, the G700 was known to develop the nasty habit of unreliable clicking. In which it would falter during drags or longer-held hits, producing a false double-click at increasingly often times. This was very irritating but nevertheless, It lasted just over 3 years before the first sign of problems began, and it did not have it all that easy a life under my clutches either... But this is the G700s, and the one I had before was the original all-black G700 (discontinued?) - I would hope that Logitech has taken note of the various occurrences of the double-click problem and fixed it with this new version. Either way, whenever my computer stuff breaks down, I always try to take the opportunity to not only replace, but upgrade the faulty part. This mouse was a case unlike any other I've had in previous experience: There is no "upgrade" after it. Bonus points for not looking like some alien artifact as does most of everything from it's competition. This looks very well made on Earth, by humans (I think), for humans (mostly),

Excelente producto Este mouse es increible mas con la maneraven que puedes personalizarlo con distintos perfiles psra programas o juegos es facil. La ergonomia tambien es buena y el hecho que es recargable aun mas. Gran producto lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I've long been on a search for the perfect mouse. Considering how much the average computer user uses one, I think it's a peripheral that's been sadly ignored. This mouse is designed as a gaming mouse, and it shows. The default configuration uses the buttons near the left mouse button to adjust tracking speed (DPI) and display battery life and the button below the scroll wheel to switch profiles and lets you set the thumb buttons to MMO macros, but the truth of it is that this mouse works just as well for any power user. Set the thumb buttons to back and forward, and boom. Cursor precision is high and it works on every surface I've tested. The mouse is nicely balanced and weighted- not too heavy, but large enough to give your hand some feeling. I was worried that the index-finger buttons would be uncomfortable and I'd end up clicking them by accident, but you really don't notice them unless you're trying to hit them, and the same is true with the two sets (four) thumb buttons. All that being the case, let me highlight what I consider to be my favorite feature: the wired/wireless nature of this mouse. Yes, it's wireless. It doesn't use a Logitech unified receiver, though, so you're out of luck on that front (but I have plenty of spare USB ports so that wasn't an issue), but plug in the USB to micro USB cable, and you're good to go as a wired mouse. More than a few wireless mice have transitioned to using micro-USB for charging so that you can use the mouse as a wired mouse while it's charging the batteries, but on this mouse, when you plug in that cable, you're actually sending data over the wire. If you need to move the mouse to another computer, or you have a high-interference environment, it ignores the wireless entirely. That's a great feature for me, because it means I can sling the mouse and cable in my bag with my laptop and suddenly, I have that same great mouse without having to muck around and take the wireless receiver from my computer. All in all, this is an amazing mouse. Highly recommended.
