Looking for new mouse to replace my Logitech G5 (Suggestions?)

[AsRock]

Get yourself a G700/G700S (I have the G700 for a few years now). Its new generation wireless so that it has no disavantages compared to wired + you can use it wired too (same cable you use to charge it, you can simply use it all the time and remove the battery too). Wireless is simply better, the cable just slows the mouse down a bit & you can use the mouse wherever you like, like on the couch when you are streaming from the PC, or something like that.

Sorry but the G700s with the wired makes it a peace of crap, how ever it does run flawlessly without the wire.

OP all so wanted a weighted mouse too.

Never had any problems with the wire, can insta switch if battery goes out, connect the cable and play like nothing happened. The G700 is weighted enough as it has a battery, you can change weight by changing the battery (well, minimal at least).

HAHA i guess you could buy different brands of battery's i guess that kinda works, but no chance i can agree with it being wired or at least with the one that comes with it no real flexibility or any thing to it never mind it being heavy like dam the mouse is heavy enough.

They surly could of done a much better job with the cable.

I got mine for $50 at this time they are $60.

Yeah the cable is cheapo, but nobody said he should use it always lol. I used to have a 2nd battery that I charged in a charger just to replace the battery if its empty so that I don't have to use the cable. But for emergency purposes its kinda okay. Yeah mouse is heavy but with only 1 battery compared to the MX700, the MX700 was way heavier. 50$? I got mine for 70 or 80 € (before Euro was cheapish, it was like 1.2 or 1.3+ $ back then) I think, things in USA are really cheap.

Didn't like the G500s. The click is not substantial enough. Like the G502 though

Logitech mice suck IMHO.

I'd recommend http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018K00ZZG/?tag=tec06d-20

Edit: Just so you know... I couldn't care less about all that additional clutter, but the mouse itself, the sensor, the scroll wheel and ergonomics are just top notch.

I used to have two G5s and one G500. I've since moved to a G602 which is practically a wireless version of the G500. It's the first wireless mouse I've used that feels like it's not wireless. I highly recommend it. All 3 of my older mice died because wires became frayed because of excessive use. I don't have that problem with the G602 because it's wireless and has already lasted me longer than the average G5/500s I've owned.

I'm staring at a G5 on my office desk, it's going on 8 years old. Still love it! At home, I've got the G500

The G5 started acting up before Christmas, cursor world jump and sometime lag/be intermittently unresponsive. I dreaded losing it! Found a can of compressed air and blew out the optics hole on the bottom of the mouse. It works perfectly now!!!

This explains how all 3 of mine failed. It's the connection to the USB cable getting worn out. It's half of the reason why I went to the G602 after owning two G5s and a G500.

How often do you have to charge it?

How often do you have to charge it?

With two 2300 mAh NiMH batteries, anywhere between 2 and 3 months in endurance mode. I usually don't have much reason to put it into performance mode unless I'm playing a fast paced FPS.

Needless to say, I don't have to re-charge often and when I do, I have a second pair of 1400mAh batteries to use in the interim while the bigger ones charge (which also last about 1 to 1.5 months on one charge.)

Only down side to NiMH batteries is the lower operating voltage of 1.2v so, the mouse always thinks the mouse is at 3/5 battery until it gets really low but, that's about it.
