I have the Gygabyte M-8000X. I like it for the DPI switch at the top that allows me to turn it up or down easily. Good for sniping long distances.

I love all computer mice except for anything that's wireless the batteries die fast on them.

Well the G700s lasts me about 2-3 days and that's with it left on all the time and if i turned it off when it was not in use i bet it would last a lot longer.

All so the cable that makes it wired all so charges it too and is not hard to plug in at night and leave it, how ever to be able to do that a powered hub is recommended as this will allow the mouse to charge while the system is shutdown.


Logitech Marathon M705, Logitech G602 ... the batteries do not die fast on them... (i still have the same battery in my M705 since 4yrs and i use it regularly, the G602 i did 6month with 2 Energizer lithium and a daily use around 10hrs )


Not having a issue with my G700s either and see so many people having a issue over the battery life but i believe they are just taking to much notice of the low battery prompts as mines popped up saying it's on 10% but yet i have used it for hours and just ignored it lol.

All so have 2 Duracell fully charged but not had to use them at all.

My sensei raw starts doing problems with mouse wheel. Does any one knows if its fixable ?
And also i would like some recommendations in case i buy a new one , i hold it claw type and don't mind if its a simple like sensei which i love.
Thanks for the help ! :)

Edit: How about steelseries rival ? does any one knows if it's a good one?

Back in 2012 i got a ZAI mouse which was replaced due to double clicking after about 6 month which SS replaced it with their top end mouse which ended up failing due to the same issue in about the same time frame which i had to take apart and clean the switch until the plastic casing was more the issue.. How ever about 1 week ago whats a few minutes in asking them for the replacement part and they told me to to ask a RMA which i thought was BS at 1st but i filled it in regardless of the mouse being out of warranty even for the replacement and they have sent me a new one in the post which hopefully i will get next week.

It will probably fail after 6 or so months again but i am just going use it as a back up mouse if the G700s fails which knowing Logitech will just send me a new one without the need to sending it in.

So SS went a step further with there warranty which is really nice just remember it's shorter than most but if lucky like i was try for a replacement anyways after all what you got to lose a few minutes ?, well i don't mind losing a few minutes if it can save me from spending more money ;).
