G7 mouse or other.

[bobletman]

I still need to buy a good mouse for myself. Now I need a cordless one because I tend to run out of cable and it keeps hitting against my feet which starts to annoy me. I was thinking of buying the G7 any one got any opinions on this mouse or any other mouse that they would recommend. Price isnt really a issue but I dont wanna go overboard for just a mouse.

[Miker]

Get a G5... Unless you don't mind $500 in batteries a year.

[werty316]

The G7 is a great mouse as it includes two lithium ion battery packs so you won't really be spending $500 a year on batteries; its smarter using rechargeable ;) Another good cordless mouse is the Razer DeathAdder (http://www.razerzone.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=43).

However I am not a big fan of cordless mice so I would go with the G5.

Bobletman's comuter is really far from his mousing area, so he needs wireless according to him.

I would also go for the G7, its the best wireless mouse, and my brother just got one for $60 at futureshop, just price match it to canada computers.

If you can just go to canada computers, they made a big deal out of the price mathcing

[Miker]

Get either a G5 or a G7...

[bobletman]

i believe that the g7 has rechargeable batteries so i dont have to spend money on buying new ones.

[Enigmachine]

I have a G7, it's great, but I have to switch the batteries every day. Often in the middle of a spellfight in a battleground. Also the battery charger design isn't perfect, sometimes I put the batteries in it and they click into place, charge for a minute or two, but then the contact is lost without my notice. So when I need to switch batteries I end up with a dead mouse... :(

So I would seriously consider going with the G5 if wireless wasn't a necessity. :)

Other than that the G7 is definitely a great mouse.

[tomato]

Logitech G7 FTW. 8)

[Xero (1)ne]

I just recently got a G7 mouse actually. It owns....IT OWNS!!!111111

The only problem I have with it is changing batteries but it only takes like 3 seconds to do as opposed to searching for hours for any batteries that might work....

One cool thing is that if the battery is low and about to die, the mouse will not lagg or anything until it just shuts off from dead battery. Until it's dead, it goes smooth as butter.

The range on the mouse is also impressive and it works on almost any surface! I would recommend this mouse to anyone and so I recommend it to you!:icon_tiphat:

[bobletman]

Thats awsome well i guess im gonna with the G7 or does anyone have any other objections?

[Sadasius]

Yes I object.....Once I figured out why I will let you know! :lol: Until then don't buy a thing!


*** Year: 2016......Okay I object to you buying the G7 while there is the thermal halographic interface that is 100X more responsive!***

[bobletman]

LOL hmm well I guess im waiting till the thermal halographic interface comes out.

[PP Mguire]

Like is said, the G7 is a cordless G5 so you cant go wrong.

[werty316]

Easy spaceboy, the year is still 2007...

[Sadasius]

Yeah no kidding....Just thought it was funny when he asked for objections to buy a product.

[bobletman]

Lol well I sort of need a reasonable objection not to buy it and it would have to be a pretty good one to cause Ive just read some more reviews and I really wanna buy this mouse.

[Miker]

Get a G5, make sure it is a new one with 2 thumb buttons. I am telling you you will like a corded one more.

[bobletman]

I need a cordless tho

[werty316]

I need a cordless tho
G7 it is then.

[Miker]

I would pick a Wired with a USB Extension cord over a Wireless...

[Sadasius]

Actually I would as well. Nothing like when someone turns on the microwave or use a cordless phone to make your mouse wonky. Instant response with wired!

[Miker]

A Wired mouse with USB Extension Cord is still faster then Wireless so don't worry about speed.

[bobletman]

Hmmm will the mouse actually go wierd if the phone is near it.

[blingg]

razor copperhead ,not cordless but you will love it once you have it.

[Miker]

Don't get a razor... Piece of sh*t.

Yes, if you have a Cell phone in your pocket, wireless network, microwave and so on CAN cause problems, but not always. You will see that Wireless will cause more problems then it solves. The batterys will always die when you are about to "BOOM HEADSHOT" someone, or your sister turns on the microwave and your mouse goes crazy and you "BOOM HEADSHOT" teamkill your whole team.

[werty316]

Hmmm will the mouse actually go wierd if the phone is near it.
G7 runs on a 2.4Ghz signal but I am not sure if its the same kind of band signal as cordless phones/cell phones.

[Miker]

Doesn't have to be the same frequency to interfere. Sorda like if you hold a cellphone near a speaker it goes crazy.

[bobletman]

I agree with all of you on the theory that the frequences can interfere with all of that especially if its on the same frequency. But ive been searching around some websites and there are currently no problems like that. My microwave is also out of range of the usb range I think and other people also said that the microwave doesnt cause problems.

[werty316]

Doesn't have to be the same frequency to interfere. Sorda like if you hold a cellphone near a speaker it goes crazy.
I didn't know a cordless mouse and a speaker were the same devices...

Using a different frequency lessons the chance of interference. Why do you think there are so many band signals on an AM/FM channel?

[bobletman]

Hmm and i think i forgot to mention my cordless phone is 5.8 ghz so those should not interfere.

[werty316]

Also think about this: if you have two cordless phones that are a different brand/model and both run on the same 2.4GHz frequency signal then why don't they interfere with eachother?

Frequncy maybe the same the the band signal channel is dfferent (I think that is how it goes).

[bobletman]

Your probably right the phone is also made to communicate only with its selected base station for those very reasons. I honestly dont think that interference is as bad as it used to be. They were even thinking about allowing cellphones to be used in airplanes.

[Miker]

You have a G15 keyboard, just get a G5 or a G7... They are the same mouse but one is Wired, it is your chose.

[bobletman]

im getting the G7,

[Miker]

You will be happy!

[bobletman]

Lol now i cant wait to try the mouse out for crysis btw that game is my bible.

[Miker]

Did Crysis drop support for Logitech mice?

[bobletman]

No clue. From what i hear there supporting the mice and the g15 keyboard so im happy,

[werty316]

Did Crysis drop support for Logitech mice?
Not sure but the middle scroll button on my MX500 registers as mouse button 1,... its suppose to register as mouse button 3...

[bobletman]

i have a old logitech mouse that registers as mouse button 3. But you have to remember its only the beta so they prob will be fixing it. Cause not have a mouse button 3 button is a pretty big problem.

[Miker]

My G5 center mouse seems to be the CTRL key to most games...

[bobletman]

If you go into your in game options you can change that.

[Schwarz]

I always used and always will use an intellimouse explorer...
Sadly I got the new version the older version was so nice...
But to me its the best mouse I have used.
To each his own though.

[bobletman]

I got this mouse and it is truly impressive.

[goldenchessboard]

the delay on the G7 is negligable, so the only difference really is cord vs cordless.. if you dont mind replacing the batteries several times a week then the G7 is good. personally i would get an extension wire.. i find replacing batteries a big nuisance.

edit: woops.. appears i missed the last page lol

[Ranzear]

I used to use that good ol' Intellimouse Explorer. Sweet button setup on the thing and smooth as glass. Then I got a couple of the newer intellimouses (mice?) and didn't care for them.

The G7 is stupidly precise. You think you won't use the sensitivity buttons but you'd be wrong once you get used to it, not like for sniping and such (most games do that already) but for exterior spaces to interior spaces, its nice to have that quicker turn when you're in the open. The lack of a 'forward' button is a pain, but I realize I didn't use it all too often anyway except to map it in games. One amazing point is that you can click the wheel without inadvertently turning it, which is nice and makes it usable. The buttons seem to have a bit of a double-click at times, but not nearly as bad as that last-iteration intellimouse I had, which would close two windows at once if you barely fingered it funny. The battery swapping is easy, though you'll take note to make sure the battery is solidly in the charger and the little light is blinking just to make doubly sure. The batteries last just fine for my gaming, 4-5 hours straight mousing I'd say, and charge in just one or two hours on the boosted setting (Just be plugged into a Mobo port to be sure).

Did I mention it's black?
