this video was brought to you by NCIX great technology selection and service hey guys this is Dimitri and welcome back to another hardware let's review so Logitech is going through a bit of rebranding and reintroduction with their gaming peripherals literally pouring science behind these upgrades so we're taking a look at the new Logitech G 700 s a gaming wireless mouse that there's not only loaded with features but also has an excellent economic design for your hand now released at $99 this is slightly more expensive than its predecessor given we have a faster sensor and a new coating on the body but still is very competitive compared to other high-end wireless mice so right off the bat the G 700 s house is an 8200 dpi sensor which for regular use isn't overkill but for multiple high-resolution displays it might come in handy we tested sensor tracking on many different surfaces and we are pleased to report we have smooth tracking without any hiccups now this is a wireless mouse powered with a single double-a battery and like with the original it can be connected through USB port for charging so if you want the G 700 s can also be a wired mouse now we do get this tiny USB nano receiver which actually can support up to six different wireless Logitech products and communication between the mouse and your computer is rated at a thousand Hertz so in theory there should be no lag issues and throughout our testing we're happy to report the mouse performed pretty flawlessly I compared the G 700 s with my wired gaming mouse and then notice any difference in response time which is good news for gamers one thing to keep in mind though is the mouse is front heavy with no weight customization which I found a bit too heavy for my liking and $400.00 this is a letdown however when plugged in you don't need the battery installed so removing that for a slightly lighter feel is an option but the ergonomics are top-notch for a comfortable grip the sides are textured which helps to secure a mouse in your hand while the top is coated with this new surface that prevents your palm from sticking to the body which has a rather plastic feel regardless of how much science went into it and I will have much rather preferred a rubberized surface now the button layout works really well here aside from your regular left-right and the scroll wheel we get a range of programmable buttons that can be utilized in any way you want the three buttons on the left side are angled so not to interfere with each other which means you won't be pressing g9 if you are reaching for g8 we also have an infinity scroll switch for those who use it and a profile switch right there below it now the scroll wheel also supports side clicks which could be programmed to do something useful doing gaming like throwing in grenade or something but because the scroll wheel is very sensitive with almost no resistance I found cyclic useless because I would always accidentally initiate a scroll also clicking the wheel to the right did not have any tactile feedback while clicking to the left was much more responsive and an LED indicator on the side of the mouse to show which of the five profiles you're using now the LED indicators also showcase the battery life but unfortunately the three indicators are quite vague and there is no exact percentage and the software either but we were able to get about six days on a single charge with moderate daily use there's also an off switch at the bottom to really preserve your battery life now foreign buttons are included for your thumb which are very well designed the top two buttons have a slightly longer reach which makes differentiate and using these buttons without any issues however they don't have the same press for example one of the buttons is very soft while the others have a more tactile feedback which raises some concerns down the road the driver software is very intuitive as well and you can fine tune every single button for any game or use recording macros as an option plus having game specific profiles to configure your mouse exactly how you want so the new Logitech G 700 s is a well-rounded candidate for gaming mouse with an excellent sensor comfortable ergonomic design and button layout that works really well during gaming but no noticeable input lag for games which is quite impressive for a wireless mouse and also a wired option is available with the g7 100 s which would eliminate any skepticism you might have about the input lag during gaming now there's really nothing negative to say about the G 700 s aside that we have no exact battery life indication and while the new coding may be a fingerprint-resistant and non sticky it does have a plastic feel and I would much rather prefer a slightly rubberized surface also missing weight customization is kind of bummer considering the high price but when it comes down to wireless performance the g7 100's has improved on many aspects from the original and definitely should be considered if you are in the market for one and we're giving it a hard knocks damn good at word so let us know if you'd consider using wireless mouse for gaming tell
