Review: Logitech G7 Gaming Mouse

So here I was at home, with an MX1000 mouse that wasn't recharging. Oh no! So I decided hey I might as well get a new mouse. After a little reading I thought the best candidate would be the new Logitech G7 gaming mouse.

A little testing with WoW, FEAR and CS:S proved that the G7 is definitely geared towards accuracy.

With a body design more closely resembling the MX700 series, the G7 is a bit lighter than my MX1000 was, which isn't a bad thing. The tracking is great even at the "medium" sensitivity setting, at higher tracking rates the mouse tends to feel too sensitive and you can jump around readily.

The dual batteries and the reduced number of buttons (unlike the MX1000 you don't have as many thumb mouse buttons) makes it easier to avoid "misclicking" Though I did think the sensitivity buttons could be a problem if you tend to press on the palm area heavily.

Hopefully I can convince my friend Squibby (and fellow blogger) to post a similar first-impressions view of the MS 6000 Wireless Mouse. If you're looking for a fairly light high DPI mouse for gaming the G7 definitely doesn't disappoint. I give this a 9.1/10
