Have to say the logo on the mouse made me think it was a Gigabyte product at 1st glance.

Hang on, isn't 32 hours battery life (maximum)kind of bad? Or does this have an accelerometer and does that drain the battery?

Thumbs up to Logitec team for this G900.
Still using G402, not thinking of upgrading it anytime sooner.

Logitech is weirdest company ever. They had great mouse - G400s yet they have discontinued it less than couple of years after release and there is no alternative in the price range. People who still have it now sell used ones for more money than new ones came out. Nothing in their current catalogue is remotely reasonable for serious gamer and any other brand is 2x the price.

I'm sill using an original G5. the pads wore off a few years ago. all the lettering has worn off, about a foot of the braiding on the cables worn off where it goes behind the desk. the tin that keeps the spare adjustable weights in it rusted shut eons ago.

but..

it still clicks and points and moves the cursor about. don't think I ever use the side button, and keep forgetting that the scroll wheel also goes left and right. same with my G11 keyboard, never used the G keys.

even worn off the 'rough side coating' on my steelpad 4d. coming up on 12(?) years old on that bad boy


I did say I keep stuff till it breaks didn't I? rest of PC is 7 years old now.

and I'm not even considering replaicing the mouse and keyboard with the potential new build at the end of the year/next year.

How much? Wow that is expensive.

[ysluxus]

It's great for a user to be able to use either a wired or wireless connection without much loss of performance and certainty.

[WyldeStile]

$150 USD? No thanks.

"It offers 16.8 million colours with a variety of lighting patterns, all of which can be simply customised in the LGS software suite."

I'll never get this feature. Not only will nobody ever be able to tell it only has 16000 colours (as opposed to a normal screen where you can tell in an instant) but the lighting is covered by the hand most of the time. It seems to be a nearly pointless investment that can just raise the cost of the mouse.

I'll stick with my Evoluent VerticalMouse 4, thanks

I wish Logitech would stop making ugly futuristic transformer looking products. If you take the left & right click and flip them upside they wouldn't look out of place in a hairdressers.

I wish Logitech would stop making ugly futuristic transformer looking products.

Pfft... that's nothing.
Anything that comes out of Saitek/MadCatz is far, far worse... more so if they put lights on it too!!!

Nah, mouse manufacturers are all churning out the same junk, these days - Twin clicker, 2 side buttons, insanely high sensors and polling rates and all that, most of which no-one ever uses. It's all the same.
I'll stick with the few Mice-Of-Many-Buttons types, personally.

G500s? It's the same mouse with 2 extra buttons next to left button. Maybe I'm missing something special about the 400.
My all time favourite logitech mouse is still the G700/700s. Had a 700 that's done me about 4 years use so far. The 700s I picked up in an amazon sale for £25 for as and when this one dies

I have the 502 and absolutely rave about it. there customer service is brilliant as well. Might just give this mouse a go and try it out.
