hmm today I'm going to plug an older intro from an older video that applies to our conversation today perfectly while wireless mice may not have the best reputation in the gaming industry because they simply cannot give us the same contents as wired nice for gaming but that soon might change because they are improving latency is decreasing and it almost feels like we are gaming with a wired mouse and they might be coming good enough for these sunny competitive arena that's right another gaming wireless hype surrounding the new Logitech G 900 I'm positive many of you are curious if the $149 price point is justifiable or is totally crazy and I'm also curious to see if this is the product that will break that skeptical barrier for wireless professional gaming without the wire well let's find out but first this video is brought to you by mass job check out an insanely awesome deal for beautifully crafted and sounding FASTA headphones each pair will be unique thanks to the Purple Heart woodgrain and this is a fantastic way to enjoy some serious audio sign up to mass drop comm below and now back to the mouse review and so my immediate reaction when I received the mouse was to compare the shape and the weight to my daily driver the g502 and I gotta say the Jean 900 being an ambidextrous Mouse it actually fits better for good FPS games and supports more diverse grip styles I myself having more of a hybrid grip style so kind of a claw and palm grip sort of combined together and this fits me much better for FPS games then the g502 does especially since the weight of this mouse is only 107 grams and that is very important and impressive because the thing is this has a battery built-in yet it still weighs 61 grams lighter than the G 502 and this is possible thanks to Logitech's new prototype manufacturing where they they simulate the weight of the product before things go into production and I think they were within one or two grams within margin of error and that's really cool because allows them to see exactly what the materials will wait before production I would say that lighter mice are generally more common within the competitive arena or rather than heavier mice and to put things in perspective the G 900 has almost 50% less mass than the G 502 and this is all things that new prototype manufacturing where they've shaved off a bunch of things where material is not needed the scroll wheel is the perfect example of that it still maintains the very nice middle click which is light enough to press and very these things scroll steps which I think is the best scroll wheel on any Gaming Mouse and infinite scrolling man still present yet the the mouse wheel is whole so they were able to remove all this material that is not needed without compromising on the quality of the product now the plastics here are not anything fantastic they feel ok I do appreciate the aluminum like additions at the front here but if anybody is going to complain about the material or the cheap feeling Mouse don't because 107 grams with a battery built in they had to do something in order to make the mouse feel lighter because you all care about performance and not exactly how the material compares to let's say other cheaper mice now for an ambidextrous body this is really nice I still prefer the Zoe fk1 shape-wise because the primary buttons curved down a little bit more whereas on the G 900 the buttons are more elevated and something about that middle finger just doesn't sit right with me it's a little too high I wish the buttons curved down more on topic of buttons the side buttons are magnetic letting the user switch between left or right only operation then you can populate all the buttons if you prefer that style or no buttons at all and this magnetic approach is genius that doesn't compromise on any of the quality of the switches and allows proper physical customization of your play style then we have the 2 DPI buttons with an LED behind the scroll wheel then the hyper scroll enabler and at the bottom there is the profile switch along with a power switch for the wireless mode now the primary on run switches here are interesting because the switch itself is installed on a slight angle to accommodate for the shape of the button surface allowing you for consistent click force registration so that means that they are tested before leaving the factory to make sure that you have click force registration that is consistent across the production of the G 900 where normally on a standard Mouse you would have the switch that is flat and you have the button surface that is angled pressing a switch on an angle and that causes inconsistency in click force and potentially we're wearing out over time but having said all that the click force is a bit tougher than the g502 especially with the right click that makes me you know when I have to double zoom in cs:go I cannot do it as fast as I can on the G 502 and that's probably because the travel distance here is a bit longer than the G 5 or 2 and also the placement of my middle finger because the buttons are not s curved down as I'm more used to me trying to zero in on a target the sniper rifle by double clicking the right button is a bit more difficult than on my other mice and there's one thing that I would change about the body design it would make the front face of the mouse slightly more curved so the buttons when you have your fingers on them or not so flat but more curved down I think that would allow you to put less pressure in order to actually activate the switches but really the start of the show here is that sensor so Logitech is using their own BMW 3366 which is the same sensor found on the g502 and it actually was designed to be used for wireless operation so that's interesting to find out and they've thrown a bunch of tests into it to make sure that the wireless custom 2.4 gigahertz signal isn't interrupted by anything else to make sure that your 1000 Hertz or 1 millisecond response time is always spot on the cable included here is braided it plugs into the mouse for charging and data for Wired mode if you prefer that and I'm really happy that the wireless receiver here is very tiny this tiny USB stick that comes with a brick : that's supposed to ground the USB receiver but unfortunately it does not have any adhesive so it will not be stationary and after calibrating my Zowie surface to the G 900 I jumped it to CS go to see if I could feel the difference between wired and wireless mode and luckily I could not and that is very good news because my aim felt very natural there was no acceleration there was no weird behavior in the wireless mode and I'm positive that this is the mouse that we've been waiting for that would feel like wired mouse but without the wire now when it comes to battery life the mouse is intelligent enough to go to sleep when it's idle so with one full week of use with my macbook pro while traveling I only dropped to 50% and this is what the main logo turned off and large the estimates about 32 hours of battery life without any lighting and 24 hours of constant use with lighting turned on luckily I did not notice any sensor degradation or signal degradation at lower battery status so the mouse performs exactly the same way at 5% battery as it does with 95% battery and the signal range is about 5 meters past that I noticed sensor was not tracking well there was weird behavior so within 5 meters between the USB receiver and the mouse you call them moving on to the gaming software it is wonderful all the common customization is here even your layout selector is very handy then there's the lighting settings for different profiles even a battery tab to see how much power is being consumed by all the components and the remaining life of the mouse and surface tuning which is very important so do that right in the beginning and all that is saved onto the memory of the mouse so for concluding remarks the G 900 is the best wireless mouse on the market right now which puts sensor performance first without compromising on the weight the shape the button customization being in that memba dextry is designed and the switchers and scroll wheel is fantastic the range is great the battery life is good and the only thing that doesn't fully sit well with me is the little curve of the buttons I wish it was slightly more curved down because I feel like they would allow to apply less pressure because my fingers would be more curved to press them then - my other mice but that is really the only little drawback that I can find otherwise I'm pretty happy and very comfortable on the G 900 and the price is also right in line with competing wireless mice and to me this definitely deserves the Harbor Canucks damn good innovative award and so that concludes the review of the G 900 based on everything that you saw in her today and all the gameplay footage that had provided to you would you trust a wireless mouse for a competitive you know arena for shooter or any gameplay leave them in the comments down below make sure to subscribe for
