Logitech MX 510 Performance Optical Gaming Mouse (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this mouse from Amazon.com last week and it arrived the day after it shipped along with another item. They just keep getting faster and faster! Now, about the product itself. I am very picky on mice and, since I've never owned a Logitech mouse of my own, was really hesitant to purchase this model. I was really spoiled by my Intellimouse Explorer optical (one of the earliest models) and wasn't looking forward to upgrading, but since the mouse was dying I had no choice. The current generation of Intellimouse Explorers weren't getting such rave reviews and I also wasn't ready to jump into wireless mice just yet, since I feel the technology there isn't advanced enough for daily gaming (though, in the case of the MX1000, I could be wrong)

After weighing this mouse (the red version, the blue was more expensive for some reason) against the MX1000, the price difference and incredible reviews won me over, so I bought the MX510. After nearly a week's worth of use, here are my impressions.

1. The MX510 is both easier to move and more accurate than my previous mouse. It moves effortlessly around the screen and my hand never gets fatigued. This mouse is not only suited for gaming, but excellent for any task that requires LOTS of mouse activity, like graphics editing for example.

2. I actually thought I would never use the two cruise control buttons, but I find them very useful. It is true that the top cruise control button is high up, and you may need to reach a bit further to get to it, but with my hands (which aren't all that large) I don't find it problematic at all.

3. The Quick Switch Program Selector is nice, but I find ALT+TAB to be faster. However, like all buttons on this mouse, the MouseWare drivers from Logitech allow you to map this button to just about any task you like, so if you don't want to use the default setting I'm sure you could think of a more useful action for this button.

4. Forward and Back buttons are easier to reach and click easier than my old Intellimouse.

5. Unlike some people here, I found the sculpt of this mouse to be very form-fitting to my hand (if you're right handed!) I believe the people having problems with that are those with either really large or really small hands, and thus can't be helped.

6. The only cavet I've found is the scroll wheel, which does not scroll quite as smoothly nor click quite as easily as my previous mouse. I'm hoping that, as time wears on, it will get "worn in" and function more to my liking. It works fine, just takes more effort. I can live with it.

I would recommend this mouse to anyone looking for a high-performance, comfortable mouse. This is probably the best non-cordless model being produced today. Great job Logitech!

P.S. be sure to get the latest MouseWare drivers from logitech.com, the ones on the CD are outdated. As of this writing the latest are 9.80.

Logitech G3 Laser Mouse ( 931691-0403 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did not purchase this mouse for gaming, but instead bought it for its high DPI -- without running the driver software the mouse can switch between 800 and 1600 DPI. The special driver software is not available for Mac, which is the platform I use.

Over the years I've learned to eliminate my mouse-related cramps/pains by using the fastest mice and drivers available. I formerly used the Logitech Mx300 (an 800 DPI mouse) with USB Overdrive (A third-party Mac driver) at the fastest DPI setting (80 DPI) -- All fine for a few years, but I had to live with the mouse skipping pixels when I tried to be precise with it -- that made PhotoShop work sometimes frustrating.

This mouse has the same form-factor as my older Logitech mouse, which was the other reason I considered switching. (Logitech seems to have carried on this form-factor through the years, and I hope they stick with it.) It tracks very well without a mouse pad (I'm using on a Birch veneer IKEA desktop) and the 1600 DPI mode makes for really, really, precise movement -- no more skipping pixels. Since I keep the mouse on the highest setting all the time, I can slow it down with the top button when I need extra precision.

I've only been using the mouse a few days, but I've noticed a few gotcha's: First, my former Mx300 had a metal weight in the mouse. This was easy enough to remove, as the screw hole was exposed. Not so on the G3. It feels like there's a weight in there, but the screw access is probably under the pads. Fortunately, the pads are really, really slick, so it's probably not going to be a problem until they get scratched up a bit and the responsiveness goes down. Anyone concerned about getting a stiff or cramped wrist from mousing would be wise to remove the metal weights from their mice -- IMHO, The Man put them in there to make you work harder! Ahem...

Next, when upgrading from an 800 to 1600 dpi mouse, the 'mouse acceleration' is not 1:1 -- I can't quite set my mouse driver (third party or OS X driver) to 'feel' the same as my old mouse -- it's a wee bit off.

Third, the cord is a bit stiff -- definitely stiffer than the Mx300's cord, or my default Apple mouse cord. You can feel it resist when using the mouse, tugging at your hand a bit. I'm hoping it wears in.

Also, the little middle button is not reprogrammable, as it is on my Mx300 (the mouse has the same form-factor, except the G3 has two additional side buttons) -- it's a hard-wired toggle between 800 & 1600 DPI (when not running the driver software). I don't know if it reprogrammable if you're running the Logitec software, but it's at least something Mac users should consider.

Finally, this mouse touts a non-slip grip, which I would say it definitely has. However, it feels a bit abrasive on my finger tips -- feeling a bit like "rubberized emery-cloth." I doesn't just give traction, but feels like there are gritty particles on the surface. Bleh. Maybe years of sitting at my desk and writing software for 14 hours a day left me with sensitive fingers tips, I guess?

Ideally, I'd rate this mouse between a 3 and a 4. I'm hoping the little niggling things, like the stiff cord and the abrasive grip sides, wear in after a while. However, precision and sensitivity are what this mouse does well, so I'm willing to forgo 3 stars and give it 4 -- I like it, but I don't love it.

Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue 2000 Dpi Mouse with built-in Memory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let's start with the basics:

My computer is midrange. I have a 3.0 Ghz P4, 200GB Hard drive, 1.5gig PC3200 RAM, and a GeForce 6600GT. This places me at the slightly above average range for computers, as I understand it.

The original mouse I used was the stock Gateway ballmouse. Disgusted with it very quickly, I bought a Kensington Optical Mouse. This mouse lasted a little while until one day it mysteriously started dying on me (about a year to a year and a half later).

I replaced it with a Logitech MX610..I'd always wanted a wireless mouse and did not want to spring the extra fourty dollars for an MX1000.

Bad move.

The mouse was terrible for gaming -- mainly I play WoW, Oblivion, and Dawn of War, as well as a touch of Half-Life and Halo. Disgusted with wireless mice almost immediately, I purchased the Razer Copperhead (Tempest Blue) and the Razer Exact pad after reading multiple reviews comparing it, the MX518, and the G5 gaming mouse, and going to my local Best Buy to "field test" (get a feel for) all of the mice. After extensive field testing, I decided that the Razer was the one for me.Now onto the mouse itself:-First Impression-
Right out of the box, this bad boy came equipped to do battle. After installing the firmware that came with the mouse, readying the Exact mousepad, and plugging this in, I found myself mousing at an incredibly improved speed. Not to mention my accuracy was almost dead on. I required a few small adjustments (toning the dpi down to 1600 instead of 2000, etc.) in order to keep myself from overshooting due to the sensitivity of the mouse.-Appearance-
The blue LEDs that surround the mouse look excellent in lit rooms and absolutely stunning in dark rooms. The tri-snake emblem on the top of the mouse pulses slowly and rhythmically. I cannot speak for the other colors, but the blue truly made my desktop a more exciting thing to look at.-Comfort-
The mouse took a little getting used to, I will fully admit. Its long, tapered buttons suited my large hands perfectly. However, the mouse is not overly bulky. It has a fairly low profile and has more of a delicate touch feel to it when mousing, as opposed to rough push feel of many mice. Moving your cursor is a simple task, with a gentle little flick of the wrist...it feels far more like you're guiding this mouse, instead of forcing it, if that makes sense.-Software-
Easy to use, easy to figure out, this software has it all. From minute adjustments to how sensitive your scroll wheel is to how fast you need to double-click the mouse in order for it to be recognized as a double-click, the mouse is infinitely customizable.-Hardware-
Solid and strong feeling, the mouse sticks to your hand nicely. Though it does feel a touch light and delicate, I'm a firm believer that it could take a hit and walk away from it (though why you would want to hit a 60-80 dollar mouse, I have no clue...) The low profile will also take many mouse users a little while to get used to, as every mouse I'd had before had a very high profile. Coupled with the gel wrist rest that can come with the Razer Exactpad though, you quickly forget how low profile it is.

The buttons on the top, as mentioned before, are incredibly convenient. The buttons on the side are not so much however. Being a right-hander, I found the mouse buttons on the lefthand side incredibly easy to reach and use. The righthand mouse buttons however, are nigh-impossible to use. My only guess is that one would use them for the stock setting (to switch dpi on the fly), and probably more likely that they are set there for symmetrical mouse usage by lefties.

The teflon feet that come stock on the bottom of this mouse make it slide over the mousepad like air. Though a bit light to me, you can customize this mouse to make it heavier by purchasing a Razer modification kit from Razer's homepage (costing between 10 and 15 dollars typically). However, using this repair kit voids your warranty.Conclusion (Pros):
- Visually Appealing
- Incredible Accuracy
- Software makes customizing mouse a very unique experience
- Comfortable Feel
- Low Profile helps cut down on wrist strain
- Top End Construction
- Teflon Feet a huge plusConclusion (Cons):
- Price is a deterrent
- Mouse buttons on at least one side will feel all but useless
- Adjusting to a gaming mouse of this quality takes TIME--- Overall ---

I could not be happier with the combination of mouse and mousepad I now have. A worthy buy? Absolutely. I rate it 5/5 stars...it's just that good.Edit: September 3, 2007: Over a year (pushing a year and a half!) later and I am still using the same mouse. Unfortunately I have only upgraded my video card (currently a 512mb 7900GT KO), so the processor and pc3200 ram are beginning to drag on newer games. I still play Battlefield 2142, F.E.A.R., etc, on full or nearly full resolution with no problem, however.

The mouse is continuing to function, even after having been dropped several times and the abuse of a 17 year old little brother who stays at my place to dogsit while I am out of town at work.

THE ONLY COMPLAINT I now have is that the teflon feet on the bottom of the mouse are beginning to wear out...I think I need to order more and replace them, as the ice-smooth sliding movement of the mouse has been roughed up quite a bit by the loss of the relatively frictionless feet. Other than that? No problems whatsoever. The driver still work fine, and the mouse is as crisp and responsive as ever!UPDATE: 11/19/2008 - Still using the same mouse and it is still responsive as ever. I am no longer playing any MMORPG games, but I still play Battlefield 2142, I have been playing Crysis lately, and I am anticipating Dawn of War 2.

The mouse is still working beautifully and holding up very well! This mouse has sealed my positive opinion of Razer. Notice I have had it over two years!

Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Logitech G7 cordless laser mouse is an impressive piece of PC hardware. More often than not for the casual PC user the mouse is overlooked (unless you still have one of those ancient ball mice where you have to pull out the ball and clean the rollers every other day), so Logitech smartly marketed their high end (in price and quality) G7 mouse toward the hardcore gamer segment, the segment who needs the best technology and needs it now. And its main draw--the accuracy and sensitivity of the mouse-- is geared towards that segment of FPS freaks who need that added edge of being more accurate in the sniper role, yet capable of turning and looking as swiftly as possible in the deathmatch or team arenas.

The main draw here is the 2000 dpi laser engine.And, having had experience with the entire line of Logitech's higher end mice--MX510, MX518, MX1000 and now, G7--I can say that the G7 is undoubtedly the most precise mouse I have ever used. The laser engine in the G7 makes a tangible difference in the FPS games I normally play. And ergonomically it fits my relatively small hands rather well. Think of it as a slightly heavier MX 510 or 518--it's about as narrow, and very similarly shaped to its predecessors.The G7, besides having state of the art laser technology and the previous gaming mice ergonomics, now has the added benefit of the tilt wheel. Why the tilt wheel didn't make an appearance in the older gaming mice remains a mystery to me.

Besides that the G7 keeps giving.For one, the high quality PTFE pads the mouse glides over are incredibly smooth. And of course the cordless freedom it offers.For those of you who worry about interference in cordless mice-you won't with the G7.It's not an issue in the slightest sense.Logitech claims the cordless technology in the G7 is "bulletproof", and that is an accurate statement.Finally the swappable battery packs are a great idea-not only will you always have juice, but having the ability to swap out batteries means being able to buy separate batteries down the road-a feature that hampers the otherwise capable MX1000's longevity in comparison.

Also, despite the fact that Logitech is marketing this mouse to the gamer segment, the G7's adjustable sensitivity switching is a boon for any type of mouse use that requires accuracy in movement.Photoshop and other paint program users can dial down the sensitivity for smaller, more precise actions on images that require it.Furthermore, the actual dpi settings are user-adjustable from 400 to 2000 dpi in 50 dpi segments, with 5 customizable settings using the included SetPoint software.Beyond that SetPoint allows for fully customizable buttons. The G7 is an extremely flexible mouse.

The two gripes that I have about the G7 may be major or minor depending on your mouse needs. First, while the G7 is more sensitive and more accurate than the MX1000, it features less buttons (most importantly the forward button on the left side/thumb area of the mouse).Secondly, this is an expensive mouse.Casual users will find it hard pressed to justify buying a mouse this expensive for casual use, even casual gaming use. Most will be satisfied with an MX1000 which is substantially cheaper and, despite being less sensitive and having a non-replaceable battery, has more buttons and is more than adequate for general use across the board.

Ultimately the G7 represents the pinnacle of mouse technology housed in a very comfortable, light, and cordless shell.You pay the premium, but for the most part you get what you pay for--if "insane to the point of overkill" accuracy and cordless reliability is what you're looking for.

CM Storm Sentinel Advance 5600 DPI Twin Laser Engine Pro Gaming Mouse ( SGM-6000-KLLW1-GP ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was pretty skeptical when first buying this as it was a company's first attempt at a mouse (mind you that Cooler Master generally focuses on cases and PSUs), but I was blown away by how good this mouse is.I've used a couple mouses in the past (from some lame wireless Microsoft mouses to a Logitech G5).I must saw that this is superior in almost every way to those mice.First off, I must say that the price for this mouse ($50) is generally the pricepoint for a good mouse.The G5 is around the same price (if you want a new one).So the price isn't a killer (which makes me very happy, because buying games makes me broke).Next, the shape:The shape is VERY similar to a G5, which I loved.The extra addon of weights is a perk over the G5.Also, the OLED screen is a major plus along with lasers that go up to 5600.I think it actually spoils me.I feel weird using a mouse without a screen now.

Although this mouse is great in many ways, it is not for everyone.I would only recommend this mouse to those with large hands (like me) and prefer the palm grip.This mouse is the most ergonomic I've had, but this opinion only applies to large-handed people. The claw grip also works but I find that it is difficult without removing all of the weights.This mouse is still a tad bit heavy if you prefer to claw your mouse.This mouse also should only be bought by gamers.Everyone else in my house finds it annoying because of the high level of sensitivity that it has.This is solved through setting up various sensitivities though.You should also be decently strong if you want to use this (no I'm serious!)The amount of force required to push the scroll down (middle click) is a pretty high amount (which may be good or bad for you).The positions of the extra buttons (which can the customized greatly from button pushes to scripts to macros).This mouse is also super sensitive.The review about the guy saying that he could move his cursor by blowing on his mouse is not exaggerating much.Just by typing on a keyboard that is on the same desk as a mouse will move it.You must be a semi-experienced gamer to appreciate this level of sensitivity.

As a gaming mouse, the CM Storm Sentinel Advance got it right in so many ways.
-5 profiles (each with a different set of controls for each button)
-Ability to change your profiles within seconds at any time (you can alter your dpi almost instantly without having to quit a game to change the settings)
-A OLED screen to help you pick your perfect dpi
-Customization of Lights is cool too (but i would still buy it without this)
-Super low to Super high dpi range
-Ergonomic grip (you also have a good grip for all those with sweaty hands)
-Good positioning of Customizable buttons
-Perfect Texture (Smooth yet grippy)

Some cons that may apply to you:
-only for gamers (or difficult to adjust to for nongamers)
-generally better for the larger handded people
-generally but not limited to palm gripping
-sensitive to the extreme
-large/decently heavy even without weights
-requires strength to middle click (doesn't really matter unless you play a game where you middle click frequently and you game for hours on end)

SteelSeries Xai Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start off by saying that this is an awesome mouse. From the moment I took it out of the package, I loved the way it felt in my hand. I hold my mouse in a kind of hybrid style, I will actively switch between a "claw" style grip and a "palm" style grip while gaming/surfing or whatever i'm doing, and it feels great no matter how I grip it.The buttons have a nice sold click too them, not too hard, but just enough to eliminate any accidental clicks, which has been a problem for me with many mice (mouses?). the scroll wheel is great too, has a good solid feedback and has a nice clicky feel to it (no audible click but you can definitely tell when you have gone up or down a notch). The side buttons are well placed on the left side of the mouse, the right side, I had some issues with mis-clicking for the first day, and after that my grip had self adjusted to put my fingers just far enough away from it to prevent mis-clicks (I mean self adjusted as in i made no conscious effort to adjust my grip, i just noticed after the second day that I had stopped accidentally clicking the buttons). The DPI switch button is well placed, easy to press and fairly hard to mis-click. The glides on this mouse are some of the best that I have ever used, very smooth without feeling too slippery. The laser is dead accurate, I run a mid-high DPI setting for most of the things that I do, typically in the 1700-2100 range. While photoshopping I find it effortless to hold the cursor withing 1 pixel, while drawing a line, over seemingly endless distances without the slightest bit of jitter or pull (this is without using any of the software aides that make the cursor move "smoother" or "straighter").

However, the greatness of the hardware does not translate into the software for this mouse unfortunately. With the first Xai I got from amazon (it had a USP issue and kept turning off and resetting itself every 5 minutes or so) I installed the software from Steelseries' website and found it to be, well, crap. I found values kept resetting themselves and the hardware update that it installed into my mouse seemed to create more issues that had not been there before. So with my second Xai, i decided to forgo the software, and simply set up the mouse using the LCD on the bottom of the mouse. The process was fairly intuitive considering you are only using the scroll wheel to navigate the menu, although it did take a little longer to set it up this way. Overall this is an amazing mouse with the only real negative being the software. I give the mouse a 6/5 from the hardware standpoint and a 1/5 for software.

OK, if you don't want to read that wall of text, here's a sum-up

Pros:
+Great overall feel to the mouse
+Buttons have a good click to them and are well placed
+Great glides
+Best laser engine I have used
+Able to easily adjust settings without software

Cons:
-Software sucks

I would strongly recommend to anyone buying this mouse to avoid the software like the plague, just take the time to set it up using the handy LCD screen on the bottom and you will be much happier!

Logitech MX 510 Performance Optical Gaming Mouse - Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe no one else has reviewed this mouse yet!I purchased the blue mouse, because well, blue is my favorite color.The MX 510 is fantastic- I love the placement of the buttons, and the auto-scroll buttons are especially handy in those situations where you have a very long document and the wheel button is too annoying to use.

The paint job on this mouse is amazing, no to mention that each paintjob is unique for every mouse.Overall, the mouse is surprisingly large, but it's comfortable and fits my hand well.Great buy!

So, I finally had a chance to test out the mouse.Wow, I used to use an old trackball, and this new one beats the living daylights out of it.It's TOO sensitive; in fact, I had to turn the sensitivity way down in order to shoot more accurately in various FPS games.However, I did not use the side buttons on the mouse for any first person shooter games because these can be hard to reach quickly during intense action moments.However, the big gain in accuracy and tracking is amazing; the fit and finish certainly doesn't hurt, and the mouse feels very solid.

I've been very happy with Logitech products, and this one is certainly a winner!For $40 by Amazon, what are you waiting for!Buy it!!!

Product Description:
Logitech MX510 Gaming Mouse 931162-0403 - Most PC games use a mouse as a controller but many of the current mice aren't ready to tackle the advanced technologies and speeds incorporated into the latest action games. In fast-paced first-person shooter games, whether you live or die is decided by the accuracy of quick, sharp mouse movements. By employing 12 bit reporting over standard 8-bit technology, this mouse can be more responsive and agile for critical movements required in more complex, fast-paced PC games. The MX510 is equipped with eight programmable buttons -- the obvious left/right mouse buttons and clickable scroll wheel, complemented by two easy Web navigation thumb buttons (back/forward) and two cruise-control scroll wheels. On the very top of the chassis, you'll also find an application-switch button.

(More customer reviews)This is a great mouse for RTS and overall a near perfect item.I rarely give 5 stars but this is an extremely high quality item.I gave it a 4/5 on comfort because I bought it to use fingertip grip which I don't think is a very comfortable way to use a mouse.However, this mouse makes fingertip grip more comfortable than on others I've tried.I've tried Logitech mx500, g500, LMO, salmosa mini and could not fingertip grip them at all comfortably while this mouse makes it pretty comfortable.The mouse has prediction / mouse smoothing / angle snapping whatever you call it turned off which is great.I have had no acceleration problems with it although I don't use the large mousepad palm style that I used to with FPS games so I probably wouldn't notice them if they were there.As for the complaints that it doesn't work with certain mousepads I think the incident rates of that are extremely low.I use a goliathus control and have had 0 problems.It's extremely lightweight, only beaten by a salmosa mini or a LMO with the weight removed.You can definitely claw grip this mouse or even palm it though your entire palm will likely not contact the mouse which may not be a bad thing.I often claw or palm it without realizing it during casual browsing so it is a comfortable way to hold the mouse.The mouse does not need any drivers which is great.Just flip it to 1,000hz and whatever DPI you want and you're good to go.I like the mouse wheel quite a bit.It is very firm and is lower on the mouse than normal.I feel a lot more comfortable using it as a mouse3 button than on any other mouse I've tried.The texture is very good.I was concerned it would be too slippery but I have not found my fingers sliding out of position during play and also it allows for a certain rotation of the fingers which is needed for fingertip grip as you pull the mouse towards and away from you.The sides of the mouse are shaped like this < > but not nearly that extreme of an angle obviously.This allows for a good grip on the lower half of the mouse so you don't have to squeeze it so hard to pull it up off the mousepad to reposition.The top angle gives you a good resting place for your ring finger.That is definitely the most important ergonomic aspect of the mouse for me. With all the other mice I've tried there is often no clear place to put your ring finger, especially with fingertip grip. The liftoff distance is a little bit high compared to my g500 but still lower than most other mice I've tried.The only other thing I can think of to improve on is the angle and height that the mouse cord comes out of the mouse.It is just like other mice but I think that the cord should come out at a bit of an up angle so it doesn't catch on the mousepad as easily, especially when using a mouse bungee.Other than that it is really a great mouse.This mouse is only very slightly behind my mx510 overall and by far the best for RTS games.

Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse: Battlefield 2142 Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have no comment about the battlefield 2142 edition design but this mouse itself is still the best gaming mouse for now. The review with the person who got it DOA it happens and thats bad luck. That review is credible, the one about the person who couldn't even get it to work with battlefield don't blame the mouse. It has 3 DPI settings which u can switch with buttons on the fly, weights, non slip grip, Teflon feet, durable cable that doesn't get stuck what more do you want. I am going to buy another one soon, I hope it does get beat (competition makes everything better/cheaper) so they come out with something even better but until then this is the best.

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (931376-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using Microsoft Intellimouse for many years, both at home and at work. The problem has always been that my right hand ring finger would hang off the side of the mouse and drag on the mouse pad. After many years of gaming and working abuse, my fingers have developed different forms of tendentious.Currently, it affects my ring finger the most, simply because it sits so much lower than my other fingers. This started my search for a new, more comfortable mouse.

It is well known that computer products designed for gamers are also designed with ergonomics in mind.The gamer is known to play for hours - the mouse needs to be able to support the hand position and its movement for all those hours. I chose the Logitech G5 for many reasons. First, the shape of the mouse now puts my irritated ring finger on the mouse itself - it no longer drags on the side. The mouse happens to be shaped better for my hand, so I cup the entire thing. This removed the necessity for severe wrist movement while operating the mouse.I can use my arm more than anything.

A few things separate this mouse from anything else I have every used.First, it is a laser mouse.It is leaps and bounds above an optical mouse.It is capable of 2000 dpi, which is an extremely fast movement - faster than anyone really needs.But at about 800 dpi, the mouse is perfect to control. Since the dpi is customizable, you can configure it to your liking. The bottom line is that you don't need much effort to move this mouse to where you want to go. This saves countless amounts of stress on your arm and hand as you work the computer.Less effort = less stress.So far, I can play a game for hours without my ring finger throbbing in pain.

This mouse also has a dpi control feature.You can use the software to set up to 5 dpi settings, which means you can change the sensitivity of the mouse on the fly. Playing a first person game with a sniper rifle and want absolute control? Drop it down a few dpi. Working in Photoshop doing pixel by pixel touch up or working on the details in Autocad? Drop the dpi down a notch.Want to speed up for web surfing?Click the button up and your mouse will go much faster.You can set any dpi by using the software and change its mode whenever and wherever you need it by using the buttons on the mouse.

The mouse wheel is a typical wheel, but with the added feature of left and right movement. Now you can scroll left and right and up and down within one web page. This is also very useful in Photoshop and the web.

The mouse also comes with a weight control system. I thought this was a gimmick, but it turns out to be very clever.You can add weight to a cartridge then slip it into the mouse to make it heavier. Some people, especially those who are used to wireless mice will find that this makes it feel like there are batteries. Personally, I keep the cartridge empty, but I like the option and it very well designed.If I want to make it heavier for very precise work (like Photoshop), it will only take seconds to make the mouse heavier.

One reviewer who wrote about this product gave it a bad review because of how the mouse worked within games. His arguments are somewhat valid.If you start a game, it will only recognize the two main mouse buttons (left and right).However, if you explore the mouse software and all its abilities, you will find that you CAN customize the mouse and its buttons and have it work in any game (even the thumb button). You do this by going to the Advanced Game Settings and actually finding the .EXE file that runs the game. Adding it to the list will unlock all the mouse functions within the game. I don't know why Logitech made it this way, and it is certainly a pain-in-the-neck to do for each game, but I know it works and I don't want people to not buy this fantastic mouse because of what was previously written. In addition, the person reviewing this mouse stated that he was missing his targets and icons on his computer.That has happened to me too, and I found that if you turn off "mouse acceleration" and the "smart mouse" options, the mouse moves at a legitimate speed. Once I turned those off, I can hit my target with precision.

The bottom line is that the mouse software is very complex and needs to be explored in order to get the full potential from this mouse.Most gamers will be able to do this and Logitech does provide a help button on every menu. Once configured, this is a dream mouse.It is easy to use and contoured perfectly for my hand. If you are looking for a mouse to help ease your pain, then this is it. If you are looking for a mouse to increase your gaming performance, than buy this mouse now.I have already increased my accuracy in Half-Life 2 and F.E.A.R. because of the laser and the control over the dpi. I have been very happy with the mouse and I recommend it to all PC users.The only negative - it does not come with MAC OSX software and Logitech does not have any of their website, so I will have to wait to upgrade my mouse at work. Otherwise, this is a perfect mouse - well designed, well made, and very, very precise.

Logitech G9 Laser Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a Logitech gaming-mouse user/lover for a long time. In fact, the last four mice I've used with my gaming rig have been the MX510 (Blue), MX518, G5 (1st version) and now the G9.

The G9 is the perfect combination of the old G5 (precision, accuracy and on-the-fly resolution adjustments) and the MX revolution (with that killer mouse wheel), stuffed into in a customizable, comfortable and easy to control form factor.

Pros:

-I really like the new weight style much better than the G5. The weight "tray" is hidden under the grip so there is no way it can just pop out like on the previous generation mouse. For me, a properly weighted mouse is key in FPS. Too light and you are all over the screen. Too heavy and you are too late.
-Not only can you change the weights, but you can also change the grips to suit your playing style and the color of the LED indicators. I prefer the Wide Load grip for my big hands and the blue LEDs to match my Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard (Black).
-As long as you are a "righty", it's very comfortable, even after some marathoning. Like all previous Logitech mice I've owned, ergonomics and comfort are never lost in the design.
-Another great addition is the ability to save up to 5 profiles to the mouse's internal memory. No drivers or software needed to load up your custom mouse settings. There is a switch on the bottom that lets you toggle through your profiles. Perfect for LAN parties when you might not be gaming on your own rig.
-Scrolling with the Micro Gear is a blast when not gaming. There is a switch under the mouse that lets you toggle between what I call the "click" mode (a must for weapon changing in FPS) and the "scroll" mode (a must for scrolling web pages and long documents).
-The gaming-feet surface is much improved. I use this mouse with a SteelSeries SteelPad QcK+ mouse pad and it is smooth as butter. I eventually plan on moving to a solid surface pad as I've heard they can improve accuracy with less friction.
-There are two thumb buttons on the left side. I know this was added to newer model G5 (my older version didn't have this) and it's a warm welcome. These are a must for forward/back functionality when you browse the web.

Cons:

-The Setpoint software is a little flaky. I chalk this up to being an early release. It took a couple reinstalls to finally get it to work correctly. Its possible previous software versions on my PC caused this issue. Everything works now.
-I can't use my wrist pad with this mouse. I know it sounds weird, but the back of the mouse isn't as long as the G5 and it slopes downward in a way that forces your wrist to touch your mouse pad. Because of this, it works best without an elevated wrist pad behind it. If you do try to elevate your wrist/forearm, it can be pretty uncomfortable. No biggie, I'll make due.
- $100 price. Ouch, but I've gotta have the latest and greatest.

So there you have it. I'll update this review as I put it through more testing.

Be sure to check out the customer photos section. I took some photos of the G9 side-by-side with my old G5. Enjoy!

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (Blue/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice and well built mouse. As soon as you use it, you can tell that it's very well made. The new surface used on this model is very nice, non slip and does not attract fingerprints, unlike the earlier 6 button version of the G5

The option of changing the weight of the mouse seems gimmicky at first, but as soon as you start to experiment with the weights, you'll see that it's actually quite usefull.

The mouse tracks very well and the on-the-fly DPI changing works flawlessly. Also it glides very nicely which is even more emphasized when using a good mouse pad.

The reason I gave this mouse 4 instead of 5 stars is simply that the shape of the mouse will not suite every gamer. It is an awesome device for anyone using a palm or finger grip on their mouse, but someone (like me) that prefers the claw grip, mainly used in FPS games will find it a bit uncomfortable. You can get used to it though.
Also, the scroll wheel is a bit annoying. It would be better if it was a little wider and didn't have this utterly useless side scrolling function, which makes it a bit awkward to depress it.

All in all this is a great gaming mouse that is worth the money it costs. Every angle of it screams quality.
Just try and take it for a "test drive" before you buy it so you can make sure it's comfortable to you.

Razer Imperator Ergonomic Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I previously had a Deathadder 1800dpi mouse for a few years, and felt it was time for a upgrade. I was so used to the deathadder that I thought about getttng a mamba instead since its the same shell. I looked into the new 3500dpi deathadder as well, but wanted to go for the full 5600dpi...
Let me say that this mouse doesn't dissapoint. The ergonomic feel is more precise than the deathadder, much better than the log*tech line of gamer mice. The on the fly dpi buttons behind the wheel are a nice upgrade from the deathadder. The cable is braided and feels much stronger than that of older razer mice. The main thing that I was worried about was the smaller side buttons and the slider thing... I use the side buttons for a lot of games and these, though smaller, are just as easy to get to as the deathadder's side buttons. The slider is actually very useful for getting a more customized feel to the mouse. The sensor is very accurate, Though going full 5600dpi in windows for internet browsing, ect, is way to fast. I turn mine down to 2000dpi in for normal browsing and in games crank it up to 5600 in game. I play HL2DM and CSS and turned in game sens. down from 4.0 to 0.9 to get the same feel as the 1800dpi deathadder.
Overall this mouse is very good and I would definetly reccomend getting it if ur old deathadder needs to be retired like mine. 5/5 stars! Another great product from Razer!

Microsoft SideWinder X5 Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have very big hands so I was happy to read other reviews on how huge this mouse is. It fits like a glove for me and couldnt get any better. Perfect button placement and very high quality design. I thought this was made of cheap plastic but it is very well designed and crafted. My only problem Ihave to get used to is how sensitive the buttons are. That i my fault though for using a cheap dell mouse that came with the computer. If you have at least medium sized hands this will be great for you.

Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Does Logitech ever sleep?They seem to churn out new and improved peripherals at an unsustainable pace.Yet, here we are.The long-time peripheral maker is at it again and has unleashed the Kraken upon the PC gaming world.The new Logitech wireless G700 gaming mouse is most definitely a monster.In a good way.

PROS:
- Highly accurate tracking (5700dpi max)
- User replaceable AA rechargeable Eneloop battery
- 13 programmable buttons for each of 5 profiles
- Matte finish easy to grip
- Reasonably comfortable
- Hybrid mouse (corded mousing ability)
- Includes USB extension cable for wireless receiver

CONS:
- Charge only via powered USB port
- On the heavy side
- Slightly elevated slope might be uncomfortable to some
- Does not include a unifying receiver

Sometimes the packaging tells you everything about the product.I have owned countless Logitech mice and I'm very familiar with the packaging.A nice touch on the G700 is a tab that allows you to slide everything out of the box more easily without trashing the box.The G700 for me, is a replacement for my wired Logitech G9 Mouse, which replaced my older wireless Logitech G7 Mouse.I had used the G9 in conjunction with a Logitech MX Revolution wireless mouse, but I can safely say I no longer need 2 different mice for gaming and for general use.

COMFORT
The G700 is nearly as comfortable as the MX Revolution, to me.The G700 however, is higher at the peak of it's slope, with a higher backside than the MX Revolution.My fingers do not rest as comfortably down on the left/right buttons because my palm is more elevated than on the MX Revolution.It is more substantial than the G9 but more comfortable in my opinion.The one thing I wish were still possible in the G700 is the adjustable weight system that the G9 used.It's a bit on the heavy side and I would have preferred being able to set my own weight.

TRACKING
If you're a spec geek, you'll be happy to know that the tracking resolution on the G700 is a bountiful 5700 dpi.The G7 was rated at 2000 dpi and the G9 at 3200 dpi.I'm not sure why they couldn't use their Darkfield Laser technology on the G700.Perhaps it was a required compromise to keep the cost down from the already hefty price tag or perhaps it's not even possible.The Logitech Performance Mouse MX's resolution is still good at 1500 dpi, but not quite up to par with most gaming mice.Regardless, I had no problems tracking with the G700 and on-the-fly dpi changes were quick and easy.

There have been some chatter online about the G700 having problems with small, precise movements that are key to FPS games.I can say confidently that I don't have these problems.The SetPoint software I downloaded from Logitech did apply an update to the mouse though, so perhaps it was a firmware update to address this issue.I'm currently on firmware version 22.35.

CUSTOMIZATION
I have to say that the individually sculpted buttons on the G700 have been done as tasteful as you could want for a mouse with THIRTEEN buttons.There are 4 by the thumb, 3 by the forefinger, 3 for the scroll wheel, 1 under the scroll wheel, and of course, the left and right buttons.The scroll wheel is the highly vaunted hyper-fast scroll wheel that can scroll freely.The button directly under the wheel allows you to easily switch to the ratcheting style scroll and back.All the buttons are placed in easy to reach positions and all are customizable with the SetPoint software.

The G700-specific SetPoint options are separated from the keyboard so you won't see a tab for it if you happen to use a Logitech keyboard as well.The options in SetPoint are laid out well and easy to configure.From what I can tell, once you have written the configurations to the mouse's memory, you can use them on any computer without SetPoint.Great for LAN parties if you don't travel with your own rig.By default, the G700 comes with 3 profiles in which you can set different functions for each button.You can even add 2 more profiles, giving you a total of 5 profiles of 13 functions.That equates to a possible 65 different functions for your mouse.A mouse!You can keep track of which profile you are using with the LED indicators on the side.

WIRELESS PERFORMANCE
It's been a long time since I have had a wireless Logitech mouse give me problems with lag or stuttering and the G700 is no exception.I placed the nano receiver into the back of my desktop computer, which is located on the floor, under my desk.Logitech includes an extension cradle for receiver use, but I didn't need to use it.I have a cordless phone on the same desk as well as a single-band wireless N router.

BATTERY LIFE
Logitech gets bonus points from me for their innovation in the battery department here.First, the rechargeable battery is not only removable, but it's a standard AA NiMH battery that you can pick up for a buck or two anywhere.But wait, there's more!I flipped open the battery compartment to replace the rechargeable with my own Sanyo Eneloop low self-discharge battery and what did I see?A Sanyo Eneloop low self-discharge battery already IN the mouse!Now that is what I'm talkin' `bout Willis!It was low out of the box however so I needed to charge it right away.The battery in the old G7 mouse was actually quite a pain.It was a proprietary battery that you would swap out of the charging receiver, daily.Not only that, but replacements were impossible to find from Logitech.I'm not finished; the innovation doesn't stop there!Logitech included a micro-USB charging cable that inserts quickly and easily into the front of the G700 so that you can use it as a wired mouse while the battery is charging!Though Logitech marketing elected not to call it a hybrid mouse, that's exactly what the G700 is.Apparently the more expensive Razer Mamba has this hybrid ability as well.As should be expected, battery life doesn't come close to matching the old MX Revolution.However, the added flexibility of user replaceable batteries along with the charging/data cord option makes up for the shorter life, in my opinion.

MISC
I like the rough matte finish on the G700 as a matter of personal taste.It doesn't look as classy as my MX Revolution, but it also doesn't smudge like the MX Revolution.My one hope is that the finish doesn't peel like the precision grip on the G9 often did.

The other thing I noticed is that the nano receiver is not a unifying receiver.The unifying receiver is something Logitech has been touting heavily for the past year or two.This would have been nice in case you were using a Logitech wireless keyboard too, since the G700 already takes up 2 USB ports.I figure that Logitech wanted to avoid any complaints about performance due to sharing the bandwidth of a single USB port so they elected to leave out the unifying feature for their gaming hardware.

SUMMARY
The Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700 is a fantastic wireless gaming mouse, especially for MMORPG games.It works well enough to also be a great everyday mouse.If you're really happy with your current mouse, I'm not sure it's worth forking down the Benjamin for the G700.But, if you don't like your curent mouse for some reason or it's on it's last legs, I say go for it.Sure, it could be lighter and more comfortable and have better battery life, but you're also gaining so much more.I personally have packed up my G9 and MX Revolution.In fact, I'd been holding off on getting Starcraft II for a while now and it looks like I have a great reason to finally go get it.

Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is easily the best Logitech mouse yet.I own both the G5 and G9, and settled on the G5 as my primary mouse some time ago after hating the grip of the G9 (neither one felt natural to me).This was a problem, since I felt the G9 performed better but it just wasn't comfortable.As a result, I'm going to compare the G500 to the G5.

On the ergonomic side the G500 has had the ridge on the upper-right whittled down, making the mouse far more comfortable--especially if you hold your middle finger on the right mouse button (instead of the ring finger as some people do).This gives your ring finger a much more natural place to rest.The palm rest also feels a bit wider and raised, making the palm grip even better than the G5.Thumb button placement is fine, though I preferred the larger G5 buttons.Sensitivity toggles have moved to the upper left, making changes easier while using the index finger.Logitech has also blessed us with a mouse wheel toggle (free spin/click) that is on the top of the mouse instead of the bottom as they did on the G9.This is a huge plus for me, as I run it in free mode while browsing and click mode when gaming and I tend to alternate between the two regularly.

Performance-wise, it's technically better than the G9 and noticeably superior to the G5.The Setpoint software that is used with the G500 is also different from that of the G5, allowing for more control over the mouse.For those curious about performance in specific gaming genres I can't comment--I play almost every game genre and feel this mouse excels at them all.I'm also using it on a RAZER Goliathus Control mouse pad which is nice and smooth without feeling like there's zero friction as I tend to like some drag on my mouse.

One other note: The G5 weight cage will not work in the G500.The cage in the G500 has been altered a bit; two weight slots have been removed and the alignment track is gone.The G500 uses the same weights as the G5, however (1.7g and 4.5g).I'd recommend this mouse to any G5 owner without hesitation.If you're a claw-grip user you could still use it, but the G9x is probably a better choice for that style of usage.

Logitech G9X Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse with Precision Grips Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a matter of review disclosure, I received the G9x as part of Amazon Vine.

I own a G9 and wrote a prior review for it, indicating it was a fine game mouse which includes a corded laser driven sensor system, on board customizable memory, a cool weight addition system which is not a gimmick--I definitely have a preference for a heavy mouse, customizable LED colors, and a nice scroll wheel.The two changeable grips are great -- you will probably have a preference for one or the other depending on how you use your mouse. The G9 is a nicely constructed, accurate, pleasure to use, feature heavy game mouse, and fully capable of use in any application including games.But, this is not a review on the G9, but rather the G9x... or is it?

The G9x is exactly the same mouse, with exactly the same construction and feature set, except for one thing....let me quote the Logitech feature blurbs: First, for the G9x, "the G9x extends the promise of the award-winning Logitech G9 Laser Mouse with its next-generation laser sensor... On-the-fly adjustable dpi to go from pixel-precise targeting (200 dpi) to lightning-fast maneuvers (up to 5000 dpi)."And for the G9, "Get uncompromised speed and accuracy from a high-performance Gaming-Grade Laser Engine (adjustable 200 dpi - 3200 dpi)"This apparently is the only difference.An increase from 3200 dpi max for the G9 up to 5000 dpi for the G9x.

My own max speed for playing games without too much twitching is 2500 dpi, and most often I prefer lower speeds.I would never realize the full speed of the G9x, just as I have not realized the full speed of the G9. I do not notice any functional differences playing Crysis, Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R. series, Fallout 3, or any other fast paced games.

I love both of these mice, but I have to ask the question, at about $60 for the G9, and $100 for the G9x, is the G9x worth another $40 over the G9?I guess if you do the math, 5000 dpi over 3200 dpi is a 56% increase in speed.The $40 premium for the G9x is 66% over the prior price for the G9.

You can make your own decision, but I think the price point for this new mouse is higher than it should be.The G9 and G9x are great mice.Buy whichever one is cheaper, they are exactly the same, and provide exactly the same general features, except for max dpi.
