on my desk you see three mice one of which is my current favorite the SteelSeries series I carry laser okay the other of which is my old favorite the Logitech g7 you can see this is a very well used mouse I used it for a very long time and the other one is one that I would love to be my favorite this is the new Logitech G 700 so basically here's my problem with the g7 which I loved a lot back in the day this is my monitor this is a 30-inch monitor so here's like my foot for scale okay very large monitor as soon as I went up to the resolution of 2560 by 1600 what I found was that I was noticing a very substantial input leg from my g7 I never had problems with wireless peripherals in the past and I don't know why but it always seems to me that the higher resolution you go the more of a problem they become so back when I was running at ha she was at 1280 by 960 and that was with an MX duo I didn't have any issues but then as soon as I upgraded my monitor to this guy that is the Dell 24:05 fpw so that was a number of years ago all of a sudden it was unusable and so I had to change my my set my mouse at that time and then when I went from that monitor to this one Samsung 305 T plus I had to get rid of my g7 because it was unbearably slow like I'd I'd moved the mouse and then there'd be a percept very very perceivable lag and then the mouse pointer would move so I went to the Akari laser now the g700 this one is just a unit from our inventory so I only get to tinker with it for a little while here but what I wanted to know was is there any in perceivable input lag with the G 700 even at very high res and the answer is pretty much no so that was basically the whole point of this video but I can take a little bit of time and show you guys the the drivers which are excellent by the way I mean we've come to expect that from Logitech so you can assign all the buttons and there are many oops you're gonna have a hard time seeing though I suppose yeah there we go so there are some buttons there there's some buttons there they're the buttons all over the place so you can assign them to whatever you please you can assign different DPI settings to a bunch of different profiles you can set the report rate you can set all kinds of great stuff like what is it called snapping or something along those lines angle snapping right where it'll correct for straight line movements which I hate by the way I keep that off these are actually my preferred setting so I got a few different dpi settings I got speed I got acceleration not using the native OS I've got the polling rate up nice and high which is a good thing okay buttons very scrolling you can change that battery oh my mouse this battery is low which is fine because you can actually plug the g700 in and use it as a wired mouse and let it charge like that okay I've also got it set to the power mode of max gaming so that might have something to do with it I can manage macros I love Logitech's macro software I use it on my G 15 at home and my other more different G 15 at work and so thank you for checking out this little video so for anyone who was wondering well what's the what's what's the latency like what's the wireless latency like you know what it's pretty darn good it's not perfect it's not what I can I can feel it but it's not bothersome it's very very very very slight and I'm I'm really quite impressed with the G 700 and for some reason my camera won't focus anymore I guess that's the camera telling me it's time to end the video thank you for watching don't forget to subscribe to I really won't focus at all look at that did I press manual focus no but I have it on now so maybe that'll fix it yeah there we go so thank you for checking out this video don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from on boxing's reviews and other computer videos
