Wireless gaming mouse has been under heavy fire from many gaming community, purely because of the delays caused by the wireless transmission. Thought, many had argued back because they’ve tried it and nearly no lag felt, like how the Razer Mamba performed. What’s more, the great freedom of using a wireless mouse had already attracted many gamers onboard the wireless gear ship. The only thing stopping me from buying a wireless gaming mouse would be the battery life, as I hate to keep on replacing batteries in few months, and when I had forgotten to replace the battery and it died halfway while I’m busy using it. Luckily the Mamba is a hybrid of both wired and wireless. Now Logitech has entered the scene with their own version of the wireless gaming mouse, the G700.

Logitech’s last G-series wireless mouse, the wireless version of the G7, was loved and loathed by many.  For around $90, the wireless G7 was a mouse with two Li-ion batteries that lasted around 7 hours each, a charging dock, a thumb button, DPI switching on the fly, and depending on which version, a carbon-fibre look.

The G700 in will set out back $99.99 (£89), and is an ergonomic right-handed mouse.  Utilizing Logitech’s famous nano sized USB receiver, the G700 will operate between 200 and 5700 DPI (barely winning the Mamba by 100dpi), with a USB poling rate of up to 1000 per second.  By way of low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) feet, a ‘gaming’-grade laser and 13 individually sculpted programmable buttons with macro compatibility, Logitech is marketing this mouse as ‘ideal for MMORPGs’. So far this is the best rival for the Razer Mamba and Microsoft’s SideWinder X8.

Charging comes via a quick-connect USB cable (meaning if you run out of battery mid-game, there’s no hot-swap, too bad) but there’s no mention of how long a charge lasts.  The onboard LED display lets you know when the battery is about to run out, but personal experience with the G7 suggests that you’ll only find out when you bother to look down, after you’ve just died in-game.  The mouse is apparently durable for 250 billion yards of movement, and 8 million clicks of each button. I remember reading an article that you’ll lose 1KG if you click your mouse 1 million times, so go ahead and spam those 8 million clicks.
