Logitech G7 Gaming Mouse - Laser and Software
(Page 4 of 5 )
The gaming grade laser unit boasts an impressive 2000 DPI maximum resolution, capable of processing 6.4Mp of image per second. I say maximum because you can immediately adjust the DPI setting of the mouse using the programmable buttons just below the tilt wheel. You can use the SetPoint software utility to set the desired resolution of each setting. Out of the box, the default setting is 800 DPI, with a lower setting of 400 and a max setting of 2000.
When only three settings are configured, the DPI indicator will light one of the levels for each setting. When all five settings are configured, the display adapts and shows the top indicator for the maximum setting and then the next two indicators to display the next lower setting, etc. The DPI indicator, which displays in orange and has a running man logo, also doubles as the battery indicator, which displays in green and has a battery icon. The battery indicator will alert you to an imminent power failure by flashing red, which is handy. The orange display is the primary display; the battery display will only light up if you keep the mouse still for a few seconds, although it will flash red when the battery is almost used up.
The software, called SetPoint, that comes with the mouse, is intuitive and easy to use. There is also an extensive help file, an animated guide-style tutorial and links to the Logitech web site. There is also the Logitech Desktop Manager which uses your Internet connection to regularly check for product updates and information regarding new products and special offers. It runs in the background continuously and alerts you when updates are available.
