Physically, the G700s has about the same form as my old Logitech Performance MX mouse, which has been the best mouse I've owned so far. Both mice feel great on the hand and do not strain the wrist after prolonged hours of daily use.
The G700s has a gritty plastic feel on the sides which at first touch seemed like it would be slippery, but it actually works well. I still prefer the Performance MX's rubbery grips, but I suppose the G700s plastic grips will last longer, as the Performance MX grips on the thumb side seem to have deteriorated slightly after 5+ years of use.
The G700s has the same hefty metal scroll wheel with smooth scrolling as the Performance MX, which I really love. It makes scrolling through long web pages or zooming in and out in game very fast and easy. The G700s' scroll wheel also features left and right click, which the Performance MX does not (I do not generally use this feature, but some may find it useful).
Another great feature on both of these mice is the removable AA rechargeable battery. If you plan on keeping the mouse for a long time, all you have to do is purchase a new (rather inexpensive) battery if the old one dies. You can also have extra batteries on hand in case you forgot to charge the mouse and prefer not to use the included USB cable.
I realize I'm comparing a gaming mouse to a non-gaming mouse here, but the MX is pretty much the best of the best in its class, so it's a good reference when considering ergonomics, form and function. Both of these mice work extremely well.
Due to the extra buttons and added versatility on the G700s, I would recommend it over the MX in every way except battery life (and the rubber grips on the MX, but those aren't really a big deal). The G700s can be programmed using Logitech's highly customizable gaming software, while the MX uses Logitech's SetPoint software, which only lets you program buttons to a selection of mouse or browser functions.
Regarding battery life, the G700s does have a rather short one. The battery lasts about the advertised 9-10 hours on a single charge. The battery seems to keep slowly draining even when the mouse is not in use. However, as Logitech states, the G700s is a high performance gaming mouse, so it's like comparing the gas mileage on a sports car to an economy compact car.
Mice with longer lasting batteries have sensors that turn off after a few seconds when not in use and generally sacrifice performance in exchange for battery life. I don't find the battery life to be an issue, as the G700s can be used in wired mode while charging and does recharge rather quickly (from 1/4 to full in about an hour).
I recently tested the Logitech G600, but coming from the MX I found it to be too uncomfortable and hard to grip, due to the G-Shift button (it is very wide so you can only hold it between your thumb and pinky, instead of thumb and ring finger as most other mice). I found my hand/wrist felt strained after a few hours of use. The G600 also has a comparably cheap feeling plastic scroll wheel without smooth scrolling, though it works as expected.
The left side of the G600 does not have a thumb rest, due to all the buttons. I found that during gaming, it was too easy to accidentally push buttons, especially when in panic mode during a fast paced fight. The buttons also seemed difficult to click in quick succession when needed, so I ended up not using them as I had hoped. Unless you absolutely need all the side buttons (12 x 2 with G-shift!), I'd recommend the G700s or the G602 instead.
I also considered the G602 mouse before purchasing the G700s, as it has 6 buttons on the left side (thumb) instead of the 4 buttons on the G700s, and also has a very ergonomic design, thumb rest, much longer battery life and generally a better review rating on Amazon than the G700s. However, the rechargeable battery, wired/wireless mode, metal smooth-scrolling wheel and 5 profiles on the S700s were too good for me to ignore.
AT A GLANCE
(+) Not just for gamers...Great mouse for business professionals
(+) 13 customizable buttons streamline your work
(+) Feels great in your hand
(+) Buttons easily reachable
(+) Intuitive app for button customization
(-) Battery life abysmal, but I found fixes that work for me
(-) Switching profiles is very clunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was glad to read the reviews and find that I'm not only person who has purchased this mouse for purposes other than gaming. Overall, I am ecstatic about the degree to which this mouse has condense repetitive multi-step computer tasks to just one button press.
Not only that, it's motivated me to come up with some strategies to maximize battery life that I will share in this review.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE'S HOW LIFE IS BETTER WITH THE G700
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(+) It feels comfortable. For me that's saying a lot because for the past 2 years, I've had to switch to a vertical mouse from Evoluent because of tendonitis in my right hand.
(+) Buttons within reach. This mouse pushes the envelop on the number of buttons you can have without putting them out of reach or having to make the mouse bigger. Yes, there are some buttons that are a bit of stretch, but I'm just assign them to the less frequently use functions.
(+) Free spinning mouse wheel. I have no idea why this feature is not on all mice because I don't really see any downside to it...only upside. It's amazing to get to from the bottom of the a long DIGG article you just read to the top with a couple flicks.
(+) Multiple profiles. You can assign up to 5 profiles to optimize for different apps you use. So far I've got two set up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A SAMPLING OF MY BUTTON CUSTOMIZATIONS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from the ordinary assignments, I use:
(+) Next on Chrome. This enables me to rapidly go from one tab to another one. This saves time when you have dozens of tabs open
(+) Switch apps. This saves a bit of time instead of using Win Key + Tab.
(+) Close Tab and Reopen Tab. When I accidentally close a tab, I'm able to bring it back instantly.
(+) Right / Left. I use this for an app that supports right to left scrolling.
(+) Change subject line. This is a macro I created which condenses about dozen keyboard steps into one mouse click. When I'm forwarding an email in Gmail, it allows me to quickly change the subject line. As well it's way less laborious than performing the entire operation via your mouse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWO FRUSTRATIONS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Like practically everybody else who owns this mouse, I was frustrated by the very short battery life, with pretty much amounts to half a work day of normal usage.
2) While it is possible to assign a button to switch between profiles, in practice, it's just not practical. Ideally switching profiles should be fast. And there should be away using a heads up display or maybe some indicator on your screen that tells you what profile you happen to be using. But no, it's slow. And unless you have the actual clunky big interface open, you really don't know which profile you're in. Yes, you can get lucky, but the mouse is very slow in switching between profiles, and sometimes it seems to require more than one button press.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW I HAVE INCREASED BATTERY LIFE TO 2 DAYS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I use my computer for about 12 hours a day. Since implementing all of the steps below, my battery life has increased from 5 hours to about 2 days.
Here are the steps which helped me. Keep in mind that my configuration is aimed at non-gamers who prioritize efficiency above performance. But at the same time, I have not noticed any decrease in performance in my normal business usage:
Also some, most or all of this may be documented by other reviewers. So I don't claim that any of what's below is original:
1) Switch your profile to Power Saver.
2) Reduce DPI Sensitivity to 125
3) Replace the the included 1800 mAh AA battery with something like the EBL AA 2800mAh High Performance Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack which, after 20 minutes of research, I purchased.
Today is Day 2 without a recharge and I'm still at two bars. I'm guessing that by the end of the day, I'll have to recharge.
That's it for now. I will update this review if needed.
Top reviews from other countries
It has latency when used wirelessly. The latency is reduced when using the included range extender. The range extender has no weight to it; tape it to your desk. If your mouse ever jitters or acts like it's disconnecting, use the range extender. The latency is almost completely removed when using the mouse wired (G900 vs G700s wired is barely a noticeable difference). The included cable is f***ing terrible. Don't use it. Use it as a wireless mouse or get a LIGHT braided cable for it if you want to use it wired (make sure the micro USB part can fit in the mouse, though most can). The mouse slides on its own when using the included cable because the cable is incredibly stiff and permanently bent from coming out of the box.
People say the G700s is terrible for gaming because it has latency, and a laser sensor with inherent acceleration. They'll also say it's bad for FPS games because with the battery installed, it's over 150 grams, and FPS games are better with lighter mice. No...just no...if you think it's the mouse's fault that you suck at games, you're in for a shock when you blow $150 on a G900. The acceleration/latency are literally not noticeable when you're in-game. Oh, it's heavy you say? Quit being a b****. It's not heavy. If you're coming from a lighter mouse, you'll get used to this in an hour.
I use a claw grip for this mouse (18cm by 11cm hands), and it's extremely comfortable. You can literally click MB1 and MB2 1/3rd of the way to the back (back as in where the bottom of your palm rests) of the mouse and it barely takes more force than clicking it right at the front (where your index/middle fingers are when you palm grip a mouse). The switches are just bliss, and they're more comfortable to click than the G900 (at least for me). I've demo'd a lot of mice (Deathadder, M65, almost everything in the Logitech line, Sensei/Rival) and the only mouse I can say was more comfortable than this was the Logitech Performance MX.
The 3 buttons on the top left, you'll probably ignore those. The 4 on the left side of the mouse don't have a "click" to them, but do feel tactile (think Cherry MX browns). They were useful when I had sleeping roommate because I could use the mouse silently thanks to them. I no longer live in a dorm so upgrading to a G900 wasn't a problem. They're also in a comfortable spot for a claw gripper to press them. The back button is hard to reach for on the G900, the G700s does not have this problem at all.
Battery life is what I expected. The included battery is pretty amazing, after over 2 and a half years of use (~8 hours a day on average, 1000 Hz polling rate, 800 DPI), the battery life decayed from ~10 hours to ~8.5 hours. It's not an issue. Charge it overnight or for 30 mins when you take a lunch break and it'll last you throughout the day.
Not sure what else to say...8200 max DPI...useful for productivity on 4k or multiple monitors. The scrolling wheel works as it should. Logitech never skimps on this. The wheel rattles when it's in free-scroll however. If it rattles when it's in stepped-scroll, push your battery in farther.
Pretty amazing mouse for gaming and productivity.
Thanks for reading.
A few months ago I switched to Razer just to try something different and with long gaming sessions the mouse started to be a pain, not to mention that it was defective but that's another story.
Got back to Logitech with the G700s and I'm really happy with it. The mouse feel so great on my hand for longer sessions and is very ergonomic.
You have plenty of buttons, a built-in memory with up to 5 profiles that you can customize and macros. It comes with an Eneloop battery (which are the best ones) and a cable (for wired mode and battery charging) and another one for the transceiver (in case it is a bit far from the mouse).
I expect the mouse to last for a very long time as with my previous Logitech purchases.
In summary, a quality painless mouse for longer gaming sessions.
Enitime (Eneloop?) Akku hält lange durch.
this mouse has become my best friend when i want to play, its buttons are in the right place and they are easy to press, the mouse in general has a perfect fit to my hand (this can be different depending on each person) and the weight is perfect too, it has never failed when talking about precision, in general i recomend this product to anyone who doesn't care to spend some money in order to get the best performance
In my opinion, perhaps the best feature of this unit, not found anywhere else even in other Logitech mice. Besides the 13 all-programmable buttons and the ridiculously high precision and refresh speed of this piece, (I wonder in awe what sort of people would actually need a thousand polls a second at 8k+ DPI); Besides the flexible-yet-intuitive mapping software that integrates so well with the maker's other devices I can switch mouse profiles by the LCD display built into my G15 keyboard; Besides how it can operate wired or wireless at your most whimsical convenience...
One feature takes the cake, The scroll wheel.
This solid hunk of metal in the shape of a wheel is capable of a feat unknown to lesser mice: You can unlock the 'clicker'.
Smooth as the wheel notches may be, there are situations (very common for me, as a game programmer) where a page is too long to simply keep rolling over and over one stop at a time. And that's'the 14th button, just "South" of the wheel itself. Push it to toggle the ratchet and let the wheel spin free!
And this is where the mass of the metal wheel comes into play - The angular momentum of a wheel is generally proportional to it's mass, which is quite substantial (by mouse wheel standards) in the G700s. Once you give it a flick, it keeps on going until you put your finger down to stop it. Lock the ratchet back and carry on, precision and speed at the flick of a switch, literally.
Some would argue that the design is not to their own comfort. Well, this is no argument to judge a mouse over, as we all got different hands with various shapes and sizes. I would say it is more on the "burly" side, anyways - so those with big and wide palms would find it to fit like the proverbial glove, whereas more slender-handed users might feel it as perhaps a little clunky to the grip.
Another possible downside might be that by the end of it's service life, the G700 was known to develop the nasty habit of unreliable clicking. In which it would falter during drags or longer-held hits, producing a false double-click at increasingly often times. This was very irritating but nevertheless, It lasted just over 3 years before the first sign of problems began, and it did not have it all that easy a life under my clutches either...
But this is the G700s, and the one I had before was the original all-black G700 (discontinued?) - I would hope that Logitech has taken note of the various occurrences of the double-click problem and fixed it with this new version.
Either way, whenever my computer stuff breaks down, I always try to take the opportunity to not only replace, but upgrade the faulty part. This mouse was a case unlike any other I've had in previous experience: There is no "upgrade" after it.
Bonus points for not looking like some alien artifact as does most of everything from it's competition. This looks very well made on Earth, by humans (I think), for humans (mostly),
