G7 Mouse
Home : Hardware : Reviews : G7 Mouse




The second (or is that third?) cool feature of the G7 mouse is the fact that the “antenna” can be removed from the USB receiver/charger unit and carried to another computer. This means that if you don’t want to lug around the slightly larger-than-pocket-sized charging station, you can unplug the antenna (roughly the size of a flash drive) and take your mouse to the next computer in your travels. So triple-y sweet!



The software that is included with the mouse is the standard, but quite robust, Logitech Setpoint fare…but with a bonus. An “Advanced Game Settings” menu allows you to set the five steps of sensitivity control for the mouse. This menu allows for separate sensitivity settings for your X and Y axis, so you can always find the perfect balance for your application. So quadruple…oh never mind!

Conclusion

For 80 to 90 bucks, the G7 Laser Cordless Mouse is definitely not cheap. However, if you have the cash, you definitely get your money’s worth. With all of the cool features, specifically tailored to gaming needs, and a robust software suite, you really couldn’t ask for more. The only real complaints I have with the mouse are its size, which is a bit too small for those of us with larger hands, and the fact that there is only one thumb button. Other than that, this mouse is a gamer’s dream.



Highs
2000 DPI laser engine; on the fly adjustable sensitivity; dual, swappable, rechargeable batteries; on-mouse battery charge indicator; oversized polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) feet; very robust software package.

Lows
Slightly small for those of us with larger hands; battery life a little shorter than other rechargeable mice; fewer buttons that previous mice.

Final verdict
Is the G7 a little pricey? Yes. Is it worth the extra expenditure? Absolutely! Logitech has delivered a gamers dream in their latest cordless mouse.
