Logitech G7 Gaming Mouse - Testing and Conclusion
(Page 5 of 5 )
Performance-wise, I tested the mouse in a variety of games and applications and am happy to say that it performed to my expectations and beyond. There is no discernible lag or delay at all, even during game play, and the ability to instantly change resolution depending on the situation is a fantastic advantage. Additionally the pixel-precision pointer control makes it an ideal tool for graphic and art packages.
The only problem I encountered when using the mouse was that some of the settings I'd configured were lost after leaving the mouse idle for a number of hours. This may be because I chose not to clutter my system tray with yet another icon or it may be something else. I'm experimenting with keeping the system tray icon running and it hasn't happened since, so this may well be it.
Logitech said in their press release that the G7 and the G5 are the results of an extensive customer feedback/suggestion process whereby Logitech spent some time asking gamers across the globe what features they would like to see in a mouse and then working towards the goal of delivering exactly what was wanted. Gamers said they wanted unparalleled speed and responsiveness, a lightweight and sleek design and ultra-fine in-game customization. With the G7, Logitech have delivered to the full. This truly is the best mouse I have ever had the pleasure of using and if you buy one too, I'm sure this is a view that we will share.
