welcome to my unboxing and first look at the G 400 s from Logitech which is part of their new G series which is all about for science or rather science wins so here you go when you open it up normally you'd find a bunch of stuff about DPI's and CPI's and GPAs and all that kind of stuff but what you actually find inside here is just this advanced surface materials feel the difference a durable hydrophobic palm surface soft touch side grips and fingerprint resistant button coatings so what they're going for here is what the thing actually feels like to touch I mean yeah you're going to find specks on the outside of the box as well so 400 to 4,000 dpi this is an optical mouse so you don't get those crazy like 8000 dpi sort of ranges that you can do with laser 25 G's of max acceleration a thousand reports for per second this is one of the differences between the G 400s and the G 100's aside from the shape and just overall generally being a higher-end Mouse twenty million clicks is the durability rating for the buttons with two hundred and fifty kilometers for the the the not the slippy feet on the bottom although I would be tempted to test one of these mice at some point and see if I can get like a warranty replacement like if I dragged it behind a car for 250 kilometers and I'm like yeah we're through like do they mean 250 kilometers on a road surface or on a mouse pad I'm just kidding I know what they mean so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up this is the iconic Logitech shape so if you've ever owned a g5 or a G 500 or even going back to my classic MX duo which was my first high-performance keyboard mouse set you've pretty much touched one of these which is handy because you know what you're getting yourself into it's got a three year warranty and they're saying you need Windows 8 Windows 7 or Windows Vista but I would be floored if they don't work with if it doesn't work with Windows XP last thing is there's cluesive delta0 sensor for consistent high accuracy targeting and that's pretty much it so let's go ahead and check this out so they've got a bit of a different packaging style than I've seen on a Logitech product before so it's like a blue blue inside then we've got some presumably like a Quick Start Guide or something like that Logitech has long to go done away with including CDs with their products which i think is great because they're just wasteful quite frankly you should always go to the manufacturers website and download the latest drivers and here we go so eight programmable buttons are featured on the Wow really this is hard to I mean I've unboxed a lot of stuff but this is a this is challenging it's like stuck in there ah yes success yeah I totally lost my train of thought we'll be back in a little bit now it's a little strange to me that Logitech didn't include a braided cable quite frankly it's not like it affects the performance of the mouse in any way but it just makes it feel a little bit more more premium when you're dropping a few bucks on it on a gaming mouse for what it's worth it does have a sufficient length so it'll be able to reach not only to the front of your case but also round to the back without any difficulty so it looks like it's about yeah six and a half seven feet long something along those lines now they've talked a lot about the materials here and they really are exceptional so this has a grippy feel without being without being rubber sort of with how do you describe it you can lift it without it feeling like your fingers are stuck to it and then on the back there's a little tiny bit of texture here that just I don't know it actually does feel kind of nice same thing up here on the buttons as well I mean honestly though if Logitech sales pitch for these mice is you know twenty million clicks and two hundred and fifty kilometers and advanced materials there's nothing I can tell you in an unboxing that's going to tell you like oh yeah the materials they used are great because what it's going to come down to is does it peel in two or three years like so many rubberized grips on the outsides of my student Logitech's claiming that these are some of the most durable materials in existence for mice but I mean it's it's hard to sell something like that when we're not going to know how great it is until it's people have been using them for a few years so at any rate no adjustable weights or anything like that you've just got your standard optical sensor hole on the bottom as well as your slippy feet here you've got back and forward buttons and they're ideal locations I've like the way logitech implements these it was my MX do that got me used to the idea of having back and forward buttons now I really can't live without them other buttons they've also included our dpi increase and decrease remember they're all programmable as well as a default dpi button although this one requires you to install the software it's also got a middle click as well as left and right clicks and it's got a really slick looking G in the middle for their new G series overall feels good it's a little bit on the lighter side of medium so it's not a super lightweight Mouse but it's not heavy by any stretch of the imagination and I think that pretty much wraps this up thank you for checking out my unboxing again first look at the G 400s from
