 Logitech's latest gaming mouse is a gem October 22, 2005

The Logitech G7 cordless laser mouse is an impressive piece of PC hardware. More often than not for the casual PC user the mouse is overlooked (unless you still have one of those ancient ball mice where you have to pull out the ball and clean the rollers every other day), so Logitech smartly marketed their high end (in price and quality) G7 mouse toward the hardcore gamer segment, the segment who needs the best technology and needs it now. And its main draw--the accuracy and sensitivity of the mouse-- is geared towards that segment of FPS freaks who need that added edge of being more accurate in the sniper role, yet capable of turning and looking as swiftly as possible in the deathmatch or team arenas.
The main draw here is the 2000 dpi laser engine. And, having had experience with the entire line of Logitech's higher end mice--MX510, MX518, MX1000 and now, G7--I can say that the G7 is undoubtedly the most precise mouse I have ever used. The laser engine in the G7 makes a tangible difference in the FPS games I normally play. And ergonomically it fits my relatively small hands rather well. Think of it as a slightly heavier MX 510 or 518--it's about as narrow, and very similarly shaped to its predecessors. The G7, besides having state of the art laser technology and the previous gaming mice ergonomics, now has the added benefit of the tilt wheel. Why the tilt wheel didn't make an appearance in the older gaming mice remains a mystery to me.
Besides that the G7 keeps giving. For one, the high quality PTFE pads the mouse glides over are incredibly smooth. And of course the cordless freedom it offers. For those of you who worry about interference in cordless mice-you won't with the G7. It's not an issue in the slightest sense. Logitech claims the cordless technology in the G7 is "bulletproof", and that is an accurate statement. Finally the swappable battery packs are a great idea-not only will you always have juice, but having the ability to swap out batteries means being able to buy separate batteries down the road-a feature that hampers the otherwise capable MX1000's longevity in comparison.
Also, despite the fact that Logitech is marketing this mouse to the gamer segment, the G7's adjustable sensitivity switching is a boon for any type of mouse use that requires accuracy in movement. Photoshop and other paint program users can dial down the sensitivity for smaller, more precise actions on images that require it. Furthermore, the actual dpi settings are user-adjustable from 400 to 2000 dpi in 50 dpi segments, with 5 customizable settings using the included SetPoint software. Beyond that SetPoint allows for fully customizable buttons. The G7 is an extremely flexible mouse.
The two gripes that I have about the G7 may be major or minor depending on your mouse needs. First, while the G7 is more sensitive and more accurate than the MX1000, it features less buttons (most importantly the forward button on the left side/thumb area of the mouse). Secondly, this is an expensive mouse. Casual users will find it hard pressed to justify buying a mouse this expensive for casual use, even casual gaming use. Most will be satisfied with an MX1000 which is substantially cheaper and, despite being less sensitive and having a non-replaceable battery, has more buttons and is more than adequate for general use across the board.
Ultimately the G7 represents the pinnacle of mouse technology housed in a very comfortable, light, and cordless shell. You pay the premium, but for the most part you get what you pay for--if "insane to the point of overkill" accuracy and cordless reliability is what you're looking for.

After getting this mouse 2 days after getting the announcement of release from Logitech, I'd have to say this is the best mouse that I've had in 14 years and after nearly 2 dozen different mice!
First off, I was able to use the mouse a little over 30 feet away from my computer with the receiver. No point of going further since the mouse cursor on the screen almost cannot be seen. lol
And I don't believe I bothered yet to install the software that came along with it because usage was perfect for me. It comes with two lithium ion batteries with a recharger on the receiver. With usage of... nearly all day (for me), one battery lasts one whole day, so make sure the second one is being charged all the time.
For gaming, the precision and feel on movement are excellent. For business work, it is great. For everything else, it's just excellent!
Personally, I'd stock up on this mouse for all my computers, however, I am just about on a "every 6 month" upgrade on mice! This ALSO makes a perfect gift for the winter holidays coming up and for people's birthdays whenever!
Great work Logitech! (again, hehehe)
 Good but with reservations March 23, 2006

The Logitech G7 is good, but I wouldn't call it the "pinnacle of mouse technology." Though Logitech has released a very usable mouse, they could have made it better. The laser technology is very precise and allowing five sensitivity selections caters well for different users and situations. The mouse is light, which lessens the stress load for the wrist. The battery indicator is a continuing good new standard. Like all new generation mice, the G7 sports a good sleek look. The material is sturdy and of professional grade. Alas, it starts going downhill from here. Logitech has taken away the beloved side forward button. Gods know why (yes, they have shed some light to me... but later). The battery life is short. How short? Even when I turn off the mouse (a useless option available on the bottom with a depressible switch), one battery discharges fully after about a day of casual daily usage. Logitech knows of this issue, and that's why they have included two battery packs. They haven't solved the problem by providing two packs but have only made it more apparent how much this nagging problem would vex users. This issue is even more problematic because the charger is USB powered--which means that the user cannot charge the batteries when her computer is off. Fortunately, I am one of those who put their computer into standby mode, which allows the charger to still be powered. (TIP: User must uncheck the "allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" for the G7 in order for the computer to successfully enter standby mode.) These prevalent issues have been brought up before by other reviewers. Thus, it is obvious that Logitech could have released a better mouse. They had testing teams. They knew of the issues. So, why did they release a seemingly half-a55ed product? We loyal consumers sometimes may be blind to the intricacies of the corporate minds, but the Gods know why. Logitech did because they could. They know that they hold the largest share in the sector of mice sales. They know that they'll be in business for a long time to come. They know that as long as they keep their consumers just happy enough, then their consumers will keep coming back for more. That's why there is no perfect product on the market. Perfection is not financially idealistic. In order to continue business, they must continue selling good but flawed products. Logitech moguls say, "See, our new improved mouse is better than the last (G7). We have heard your complaints and answered. Be happy. Now, hurry on and buy this new ultimate mouse." So--fellow consumers--please remember that as long as you participate in this economically unsound society, you can't gripe too much. You just have to come to terms knowing what you're walking into. Don't worry. Logitech will do better next time.
Great Gaming Mouse March 14, 2006

This is a great gaming mouse. If you're a gamer, buy THIS mouse. It has the best reaction time for fragging and first person shooters. It comes with 2 batteries, so one can be recharging while you use the other. You'll never have to be sidelined while the battery recharges.
If you are not a gamer, though, consider the Logitech MX 1000 mouse for more features, a better feel and never having to change the battery (it's built in).
Almost perfect. November 10, 2005

Now, don't get me wrong. This mouse is AWESOME. But there's a few things that I have problems with.
1) This mouse does NOT work AT ALL with an icemat. Even though the package says it won't work with clear/mirrored glass, it won't work with any icemat, regardless of the color (I have black).
2) The mouse doesn't have a forward button. This is a problem for me because I've had an mx700 for 2 years and used the button ALOT. But if you've never had a button for that, or don't use it, it shouldn't matter much.
3a) The scroll wheel on the mouse protrudes ridiculously far out of the mouse. It's way bigger than any other mo use I've used.
3b) I can't get the sidescrolling feature to work. I installed the drivers and it worked, until I turned off my computer.
Now, for the good things about this mouse
1) Smooth, shiny, high-gloss exterior. This could be a blessing or a nightmare, depending on how much your hands sweat. If your hands don't sweat much, the feeling of the mouse in your hand is great. However, if your hands sweat alot, I can see this mouse becoming sticky after a while. My hands don't sweat alot, so I can't verify this.
2a) Battery display. My old mx700 didn't have one and I'd always wished for one, because I ALWAYS forgot to charge my mouse. This lead to alot of down time during my gaming sessions, which leads me to my next point.
2b) Dual battery packs! What a great idea! I was very surprised that they included this. I can now change my battery in a matter of seconds, and I always have a charged one.
3) Sensitivity switching with the touch of a button! This is great for sniping in games. When you scope in on someone, you can turn the sensitivity down (3 different settings, you choose up to 2000dpi) and aim better. I love this feature.
4) Not only is it cordless, but the receiver is about the size of a thumb drive. While using it at home, you plug it into the battery charger, and when going to a LAN, just take that instead of bothering with the whole charger (Unless you plan on killing a battery)
5) There is an on/off switch. This makes travelling so much more convenient. With my old mx700, I'd have to take the batteries out every time I went to a LAN, or else they'd drain on the way there, no more of that problem.
6) Sidescrolling capability, if you can get it to work :-\
7) Gaming feet. This makes the mouse slide on a surface faster because there is less friction. Not much more I can say about this.
Overall, the mouse is pretty awesome. Just wish that I'd known it wouldn't work on my $50 mousepad. On the bottom of the box it says "Will not work on mirrors or clear glass surfaces". They need to change it to "Will not work on glass surfaces"
