    Hi guys, sadly my Logitech G700 has passed yesterday as the right button started to malfunction. Couldnt repair it, so it was time to quickly dive into google and find a replacement.
    Decision made. Logitech g900.
    What do you gsming guys think? Good choice?

    All comment are appreciated

    I use that as well. The Logitech G900 has great response times on wireless, <1ms I believe, but as an added bonus, it's the best feeling mouse I've held in terms of shape, weight, etc. Plus you can also connect the wire and play wired when/if you need to if it runs out of juice!

    Good choice :)

    Everyone's hand is different, as long as it is comfortable and responsive you made a good decision. Unless you are into competitive gaming or esports, the details don't matter too much.

    Response time on a wireless mouse would just play on my mind so I'm wired all the way! Logitech G502 proteus spectrum, it's brilliant with an INSANE dpi

    The only worry for me is the G900's battery lifespan. Its not a replaceble AA battery like on my old G700.
    Saying this, I still cant wait to put my hand on it :)

    For me it's more about comfort. I've been using a Logitech G700s and it's fairly comfortable in my massive paw, but the rechargeable battery life is atrocious, so much so that I use it wired most of the time. I still think my previous mouse, the Performance MX, is the best wireless mouse I ever used, and it was even larger so a better fit too. Battery lasts weeks on it, so that's not an issue.

    I recommend finding mice in store and testing how they feel in your hand. I will not buy another mouse in future without doing this.

    Logitech G700
    It reports to the usb adapter it comes with at the same rate as a wire mouse it feels like. I cannot tell the difference. Used a wired mouse for years but have been using the G700 since 2010 and love it.
    Battery life is a joke though since it reports back so many times.

    Razer Ouroboros Elite.

    Had the mouse a few years, I love how it feels in my hands and has always worked flawless. Only problem I have ever had was a I needed to replace the rechargeable AA that came with it for the wireless function.

    Logitech G502 Proteus Core... LOVE THIS MOUSE! I tried several before ending up with this one. Could not be happier. It fits my hand perfectly and I like where the sensor is in relation to the mouse body.

    My reading comprehension is bad... I didn't notice you said wireless.

    I didn't like the G900 FWIW. It would cut out from time to time and I had noticeable lag vs my G502.

    I picked up the G900 a few months ago and love the feel of it and how light it is. I was pretty disappointed by all of my G602's but the G900 has put some of my faith back into Logitech for me although the first mouse did have a defective battery and wouldn't charge past 80% but the new one works just fine.

    logitech MX Master. not a gaming mouse standard, but at 1600dpi it's more than enough for my use, not to mention the far better battery life than gaming standard mouse

    I've been using G900 for a year now and I'm very pleased with it. Battery can last more than a week in moderate use and 2+ days on hardcore gaming session. Then it's few hours with cable and back to wireless. It will let you know when it's getting 30% so there is plenty of time to make sure it's charging while taking a break.

    what about mouse pad guys? I have a Razer vespula, but will sell it as g900 is a smaller mouse than g700. The wrist rest part of it lifts my hand so much that Im strugling to get proper hold of the mouse. Also the Razer mousepad feels small somehow all of a sudden. So Im in the market for a mouse pad replacement.
    Was looking at Logitech G440 but Im reading mixed reviews of it.

    I use the overpriced and pretty much purely cosmetic Razer Firefly mouse pad. Love the hell out of it.

    I admit that I really like these illuminated pads but having a cable on the table is a no. Especially that my Alienware 17 R3 has all usbs on the sides of the laptop so the cable would interfere ?

    Logitech G900, its the only wireless mouse where I couldn't tell the difference in response time between wired and wireless. I'm sure it requires software tools, graphs, and data in order to see a difference. I'm very sensitive to any kind of performance degradation so that's kinda saying a lot.

    That being said the mouse was silly expensive, I have to charge it about every 2 days, and it won't (directly) make me a sandwich.

    I have mine plugged into my Thunderbolt hub on my 17 R4. Tho my wife has hers plugged into a old Apple wall usb plug. I never found it a pain but then again like I said its plugged into the hub.

    The cable on it is super long tho around 7 feet unwrapped.

    Damn I really want a g403 but can't justify replacing my g303 that I got not to long ago. Maybe I'll hold off until the g703 drops in price and get it with the wireless charging mouse pad.
