Is there actually anything special about G900 wireless?

[tp4tissue]

I didn't know you were a girl

Yes, I hide it so well, what with the name and avatar.

I only mentioned it because you said the most common phrase women hear when they say they play games, that it's only "casual games". Sorry, we don't all play Candy Crush. It was not bragging or trolling, what you said came off as extremely sexist, intentional or not.

Sorry if I don't fit your idea of a gamer, some of us don't do things the normal way, but occasional we can still kick ass at it even if we break the rules.

Now that I come to think of it, the G900S uses the same PWM3366 as is in the G502 right? Are there any other mice coming or available already with the PWM3336 sensor?

Logitech Exclusive deal with pixart..

But I think that 1 year agreement expires soon.

Cool.. hopefully Mionix makes an Avior with the PWM3366 then, finally. I'll probably buy a G303 and/or a G502 out of sheer curiosity to see what people are talking about. But men are those mice ugly daaaaayyyuuummm.

for g303, u gotta look further into that sensor wiggle issue..

I haven't kept up with it, but there may be some issue where the housing isn't tight enough.

Everything about the 502 is great..  but u know, cuz most g4m3rz don't lift,  so 120g is considered heavy..

I've recently transitioned to playing low sensitivity, and while I agree lighter would be better, I think you could probably work INTO a heavier mouse.

The Lens issue isnt related to "fitting" of the parts, but to assembly as the Lens of PMW3366 and 3360 is permanently stoked to the IC.

So time to get me a g502 then... BUT SO FUGLY. Anyho.. I like heavier mice better than light mice for FPS also. When I'm sniping or camping (yes I'm a coward sometimes), the weight helps me more for long distance precision. A light mouse only helps me when I'm jumping around like an idiot or in the middle of an arena with 20 players. But not so much for the rest. But I must admit.. I don't do Quake so perhaps Quake is different and all.

i agree that the g502 is really, really ugly.. and i feel the same way about pretty much all current logitech mice like the g402, g900, g303.

one of the biggest complaints about the g502 is probably the weight, so i hope you're sure about digging heavy mice.
but if you think that the shape is right for you, it should be a great pick. :-)

also, i've noticed they started showing up second-hand for decent prices, so you could consider getting a used one.
when i'm "fishing" for mice i usually just save searches so that i get e-mailed once a day, if one has popped up.
(there's actually one for 35 on marktplaats right now - picture isn't great, but it looks like it's on good shape)

but i know some people don't like used products, so it's not for everyone i guess :-)

I've had the g500s back in the day (I believe top was 1600dpi).. used it in quake 3 team arena, battlefield 1942 and battlefield 2 and cs 1.6. That mouse was AWESOME. Best I ever had. So I imagine the new g502 to be almost the same in terms of weight? If so.. I think I'll like the weight and sensor. But still that thing is ugly. I cannot stop thinking about who authorized those designs..

If you guys want best quality tracking to lowest price.. WMO is the way to go..  you get perfect tracking for $7-10

Mod it up with some D2F, which will cost another $10 for 3 switches, but $5 is shipping, so depending on how many you buy at one time you get a much better rate...

400 dpi is more than enough

Professional CS all huddle around ~800 EFFECTIVE DPI,  but if you look at the chart many many many pro players use 400dpi, because it has absolutely the least jitter..

Which is why WMO is still so popular a choice..


IME:

Pro, 2 extra button, no need to grind button flap

Con, heavier, many counterfeits/clones on ebay

WMO:

Pro, light weight, cheaper, easier to find on ebay, 

Con, button flaps need to be grinded to increase clearance for scroll wheel.

Yes, g400s is a standard mouse for me, even if it is a bit dated. It has a perfect fit for my palm grip, and the sensor is pleasant to use as it seems to have had all the quirks fixed from the previous iterations. However, I've been using a g303 lately at home. I've really grown fond of ergonomics of it, which surprised me since it is much different than the g400s. Another thing I like about the g303 is that it has a braided cable, so I think if I had a braided g400s cable, I could have something a bit more interesting and up to date. I really like that the sound is dampened of the braided cable moving along the desk.

That's pretty insane.  And this is from someone who is a pretty compulsive spender.

An update on the G900- it appears only marginally more responsive than the G602, IMO.  I didn't experience any stutters with the g602, so take it with that caveat.  Giving it a bit more time before I actually write up any conclusions, but the shape of it is a big turn-off, and is the thing that I'm having the hardest time getting used to.

I use them for work as well as home. I have 4 separate computers that I use at work and home, and all get a good mouse when I use them. Also, I need extras in-case something breaks. I don't want to get used to a mouse, have it break, and then have to buy something new I may not like.

I disliked the g303 at first, it felt awkward. Now it's a favorite.

Yes, as long as the wires match up. You could even use something like a Razor cable, but I think you have to switch a couple wires. I think the main issue is the fit on the hole where the wire comes from the mouse. There are some good tutorials on this:

I'll do the double sided tape fix, eventually. It's annoying for my ears, even though it's slight. I haven't noticed any performance issues outside of what might be some placebo effects.

I use multiplicity a lot so that I don't have to have a mouse per machine.  I have a g9x driving 3 boxes at work, and my G900 driving 3 boxes at home.  I still have a g602 on one of those- just did an RMA on it, so figured I should make *some* use of it.

I'll probably buy one sooner or later. Still G303 is relatively expensive. But might be worth it... that shape looks awesome for teh hand.

[fuzzybaffy]

I have the G900 also. Wireless is pretty good as advertised. I personally like the shape of it, too, but it is slightly bigger than I'd like. So the same shape, but slightly smaller would have been absolutely perfect.

Still deciding whether I can deal with the bigger size, though.

Bigger than the G502? That one is a bit small for me, weirdly enough. I thought the G502 would be a big beast, but I think it is even too small for palm grip.

I haven't owned the G502, but I've tried it out a couple of times. From what I can remember, yea, the G900 should be a bit bulkier/bigger than the G502.

I haven't owned the G502, but I've tried it out a couple of times. From what I can remember, yea, the G900 should be a bit bulkier/bigger than the G502.

It's smaller than the G602, which is what I've been using before.  It's actually a quite slim profile, and long.

I'm more of a clawgripper.. but I like to feel the top of the mouse in my palm.. gives some additional resting support.

I still can't wrap my head around that price..

And what I REALLY hate is that your still need a receiver for this thing... Y NO Bluetooth?

Because a good number of people don't have bluetooth on their desktops.

well i can imagine that their wireless is a lot more optimized than bluetooth. they wanted to get it low latency, stable polling, and interference-resistant
what's wrong with a receiver, though? surely you have a USB port free for one? :-)
and more importantly, what chukdee said.

personally if i'd have a wireless mouse then i'd prefer a receiver + cable so i can bring it close to the mouse

It almost sounds like you want your wireless mouse wired
