Buttons are black with metallic borders and the battery charge/resolution indicator is seamlessly integrated into the top stripe of silver just below where your pointer finger meets your palm. The shape is a slightly smaller and more rounded than, say, the MX1000 and, although a bit small for my oversized paws, fits one’s hand quite comfortably. The overall effect is that the mouse looks almost vehicle-like.



The receiver/charger does not fare as well, however. Although it is made up of cool translucent green and smoke colored plastic, the boxy design and protruding USB “antenna” make for a blocky appearance that just doesn’t sync with the ultra-smooth looking mouse. The receiver isn’t ugly, per se, but it isn’t pretty for damned sure.

Performance

Given the quality of Logitech’s previous cordless laser mouse, the MX1000, I expected nothing less that greatness from the G7. I was not disappointed. The unit performed well in all applications and through all functions.



As far as accuracy and response goes, you couldn’t ask for a better cordless. There was absolutely ZERO lag, thanks to the full-speed USB connection, and control was precise. This precision is due, in part, to the 2000 dpi Gaming-Grade Laser engine that operates at a whopping 6.4 megapixel per second sampling rate. Oversized Polytetrafluoroethylene feet ensure that the mouse glides effortlessly over virtually any surface you would use.
