These two could EASILY have been baked into one and the same app just to keep things simpler and tidier, and to stop having TWO extra icons down in the systray. The driver install package is a 25 friggin' MB download (wth! It's a MOUSE, not a nuclear reactor!), and it installs two separate programs, one to change nothing except a few very basic settings and another to configure the buttons and define macros. *sigh*Īs good as the hardware is (for the most part), software-wise it's a bit of the same fucking mess as usual with Logitech. Still, I find having these extra buttons a big plus, and quite convenient.If only the software had been a bit better. You might need to adjust your personal play style to fit, or re-jig your button settings until things feel comfortable. The two at the front are big and easy to use for my hands, and the two smaller at the back are too small - even though they're actually LARGER than the front buttons, due to being set a little too far back. The four G buttons on the side are just a little more cumbersome. Three of the four G buttons on top of the mouse are quite easy to reach, and you easily distinguish between them just from touch alone. The mouse slides very easily on my Func Surface plastic mouse pad, and the laser sensor seems to track well too. The (most likely teflon, or perhaps polypropylene) feet are excellent. The toggle switch for the wheel is now located on top of the mouse, making it easier for people who like to change modes depending on the situation. Each step is well-defined, distinct and sharp, making it literally a snap to flip between weapons, items or just scrolling a couple lines down a web page. In "stepper" mode the wheel feels just gr8. The wheel itself is also very VERY precise as previous Logitech high-end mice it's made of metal, and offers free-wheeling action or discrete steps. The buttons feel sufficiently stiff so you don't click 'em by mistake but not so hard they become unresponsive particulary the middle mouse button on this unit is much easier to click than on my previous G9, which had a terrible middle mouse button. Feels a bit awkward due to the relatively high weight of mouse (especially with the cord attached), but I guess it's something you'll get used to after a while. To lift it securely, you need to squeeze the mouse with your fingers and thumb, so the thumb grip does most of the lifting. Not as comfortable to lift, due to right side sloping a bit too much and not offering any natural grip other than a rough plastic surface. First impressions:Ĭomfortable to hold good shape for the hand. Bought it today and have been fiddling around with it a little.
