Really good deal for the G400
-
Pretty sweet. I would pick up a g400 but my g5v2 is still living strong.
-
what makes the g400 so great? i keep seeing everyone talk about how good it is. I currently have g9 at home and i'm looking to pick something up for the office.

I personally have used the G400, G500 and G9X for long periods of time and i prefer the G9X but the G400 is the successor for the MX518 which is until today is considered my a lot of people to be the best gaming mouse of all times.
The G400 has a very nice and sturdy grip for large handed palm griping users and a sensor that is considered to be very reliable with high accuracy.

It's about precision rather than accuracy'... there's no "true" value to the translation of hand movements.
the reason G400 is the best mouse out now.. is because it provides high "precision" tracking with no "acceleration".. coupled with great support from logitech, software and warranty.
All current Laser sensors have +/- 5% acceleration... this might not be very much.. HOWEVER, why put up with it... when "higher" dpi has been proven to be useless as it already greatly exceeds screen pixels...
G400 has perfect tracking with no acceleration.. while it supports 3600dpi, it is actually best to use 800 dpi, because higher dpi actually causes larger rounding in calculations, which depending on the surface it's tracking could cause "jitters"
This rounding problem is also true in High DPI laser mices....
This is less likely to happen with 800dpi..
The case is, More is not better...

Thanks for the detailed responses. I never really gave too much thought to it before...

Waiting for amazon to price match the g400!

There are 3 things about it that make people really like it.
-It has one of the best sensors on the market (better than a lot of those high DPI laser sensors) without prediction, acceleration, jitter and with a good max tracking speed, good lift off distance and it is not too picky about the surface it is used on either.
-It has a shape that many people seem to like, and that has been a staple in a lot of really popular Logitech mice in the past.
-For a high end gaming mouse that outperforms a lot of other more expensive gaming mice in the market, the price is fair.
But I would not say any one mouse is the best mouse. Which is best depends on individual preference. Some of the best CS teams in the world use their sponsor's mice and are just as dominant as they ever were. We also see people use a lot of different mice in the pro-circuit. Though the light no-nonsense ambidextrous optical mice do seem to be the most popular by far. At the same time, those are not the mice that are most popular with the general gaming public, where features such as wireless, adjustable weight, high DPI and LED color customization seem to be the features a lot of people are after.
