**Logitech G700s Review: Unpacking the High-End Wireless Gaming Mouse**

Gamers and while we're talking about internals, you can see in my teardown that the G700s uses higher endurance metal switches rather than the cheaper plastic T-Max switches that we're used to seeing in mice. This is spoken for in Logitech's testing where they target a 20 million click lifespan for the mouse or for the buttons on the mouse, and uh, that's actually so high that generally the plastic buttons will fail long before the switches. We were told at PAX East by Logitech, and I have to say that the button front of the G700 uses or G700s uses better buttons significantly better buttons than previous Logitech mice I've used. Uh, and the G400 is kind of it's been known to have issues with the mouse 4 Mouse 5 buttons, I think it has both of those failing, this uh, this seems to be solved in the G700s, which is obviously much higher end than that one ever was anyway still.

**Ergonomics and Design**

I wasn't too happy with the actuation of the three index position buttons near the left hand mouse button, but it wasn't anything detrimental to the overall unit. I just think they could be a little more fluid, they are positioned very well though, and they are uh sort of flared up in a way that makes sure you never push the right one. As for my opinions, I found that the grip and overall feel of the mouse was easily its biggest advantage over the other peripherals in this very competitive Mouse market. The feel is almost perfect, the rounded chassis design is much more comfortable than some of the more boxy bodies out there like the Hila and the buttons are all within reach and don't require any awkward flexing to use like the G600 did.

**Grip and Ergonomics**

The grip is strong, strong, and very easy to control with high DPI. So as far as grip and ergonomics I think this is probably the best mouse I've ever used in that regard, and if you know if price wasn't an issue, I would tell everyone to go buy it just for that reason alone. The Mouse has a wind extruding from the uh from below the thumb position so you're able to rest your thumb comfortably and still reach those four buttons easily and that just helps strengthen the grip that much more and also reduces strain on uh your thumb so it's one of the best design mind mice I've ever used. As I said in terms of pure ergonomics and the rubberized hydrophobic excuse me materials, and no fingerprint paint just helped to firm up the grip even further and it's just it's obvious that there's a lot of quality materials in this mouse.

**Battery Life**

I did have trouble moving the mouse smoothly with the cable attached which tended to be poorly positioned and dragged along the mousing surface more than the braided cables wood that are found on most other mice including the G500s, and I've always favored wired over Wireless but this mouse sort of forces the other way around since the wires positioning is uh suboptimal and produces a drag that hinders competitive play in twitch Shooters. Luckily, I did test the mouse battery on the maximum gaming so-called mode and it lasted approximately 18 hours of mixed gaming and everyday use in testing as described in the article and that is including the micro sleep States it enters when you're uh not using the mouse for you know 30 seconds to a minute at a time if there's that much time you're not using it, it enters a m a sleep State and conserves power.

**Software Buggy**

The Logitech G Series software does seem a lot more buggy with the G700s than other mice, I think that's because the battery it's a bit of a negative. I had issues with crashing and sporadic unresponsiveness when toggling power to the mouse or changing Mouse functions Mouse button functions but once the mouse was configured, it's not really that big of a deal because you generally never look at the software again after initial configuration. So not a huge negative. The software has historically been fairly solid so I do imagine it's just a matter of patching it and at the end of the day, the mouse uses high-quality internals, it has a proven sensor, it has fantastic grip, and overall feel, and has buttons that are actually within usable range.

**Conclusion**

So, uh, if you want one of the best wireless mice out there for gaming or have specific needs for wrist or tendon problems then this is absolutely worth looking at more carefully. And if you can get a Hands-On at a store I recommend it for users who prefer to spend less consider looking at the G500s we're reviewing right now, though I'd personally favor the 500s for its Superior grip and with that, I will let you check out the full review linked in the description below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everyone this is Steve from Gamers nexus.net and today we're looking at logitech's new g700s high-end gaming mouse which is a pretty crazy addition to the already high-end Logitech Arsenal and I had the chance to completely dismantle the mouse and explore its hardware and obviously was able to game quite a bit on it as well with Rift and shoot Mania so this review will act sort of as a a summarized version of the full article that's Linked In the description below and as always let's talk about specs and then gets the Hands-On and opinions the g700s is a wireless rechargeable Mouse with wired capabilities via standard micro USB uh connection but it does ship with a special cable that's molded to fit the mouse more stylishly you can use basically any micro USB connection though the uh the mouse has 13 buttons lmbb RMB MMB and then the additional buttons which are four on the left uh the left side near the thumb position three in the index finger position near the left Mouse button and then the wheel will do a left right tilt as well as the normal middle Mouse click and also some other cool stuff we'll talk about in a second and then there are two buttons south of the wheel which can be used to toggle the free Spin on the wheel or uh the second one will just basically do whatever you want it to do and on that note the uh the free Spinning Wheel note the hyper fast micro gear Precision Wheel is what Logitech uses and that is just a bunch of fancy words to basically say they use a ratcheted hub that allows it to either free Spin or scroll normally with the normal ratcheted motion so uh it makes it ideal for users who spend a lot of time scrolling through large documents or spreadsheets you can just hit the button toggle it into free Spin mode and then spin it really fast and stop it when you want to stop scrolling so that is pretty sweet other than buttons the mouse uses an avago uh adns 9800 series sensor with a 200 to 8200 DPI range and using logitech's drivers that I will explain in a separate video also linked below you can configure several DPI profiles and then cycle through them using a mouse button so uh pretty good control there you are able to configure it for basically any game you want if you want like a sniper mode you can do that um the same or similar sensor uh sensors are used in The Genius hila which I reviewed and the Logitech g600 mouse which Patrick lean reviewed and it's definitely been around the block and performs fairly well it is a no well-known sensor it does everything that we needed to do as Gamers and while we're talking about internals you can see in my tear down that the g700s uses higher endurance metal switches rather than the cheaper plastic T-Max switches that we're
