welcome to another outdoor unboxing today we've got the Logitech g100s which
is part of the new Logitech G Series now
it's a bit perplexing to me that they've gone and branded this the G Series
because logitech's had a G Series for a long time but what they've done is
they've reinvented most of the G Series with a couple of different things so
number one is check this out Advanced surface materials feel the difference ad
durable hydrophobic Palm surface and fingerprint resistant button Coatings so
they've what they've attempted to do is engineer a surface that is not going to
get all oily and greasy and ugly and and
gross so I'm really looking forward to opening it up and checking it out this
particular one the g100s is the lowest end out of the new G Series so it's
rated at 250 to 2500 DPI which quite
frankly unless you are a super high sensitivity gamer or you're running with
a triple monitor surround setup is probably going to be enough for you
anyway uh up to 500 reports per second this is a strange uh differentiation for
me because most mice these days are able to do 1,000 Hertz but honestly you're
probably not going to notice the difference between 1 millisecond and 2 milliseconds in terms of the overall
input leg of your system um but this is cool check this out so durability wise
even though this is an entry-level Mouse it's rated at 20 million clicks there
are many gaming grade Mice from competitors that are rated at less than
20 million clicks or even ones that are significantly more expensive that are
only rated at 20 million clicks so it looks so I mean Logitech has always sort
of gone for make sure it's durable first
then figure out the fancy Dany features later and it looks like that Trend
continues with the g100s so we're just going to open it up inside this is a bit
of a different packaging strategy than I've seen from Logitech in the past so
it's got like a blue sort of look to it which I guess goes along with the blue
for the uh product branding as well as they're sort of achieved through science
uh messaging that they've got for these mice so they're talking about their
exclusive Delta zero sensor for consistent high accuracy targeting
comfortable ambid exra shape and advanced surface Coatings for improved handling that's pretty much all we've
got there which leads us to the mouse itself so in terms of the overall shape
honestly it doesn't look that different from you know like the mouse mouse the M
us mouse that you can get at sort of any kind of store so you've got your uh
Teflon feet on the bottom poly Tetra floro ethylene or whatever the actual
name is it because Teflon is a brand name you've also got their invisible
optic branding right here above the sensor so this is an optical Mouse not a
laser mouse which stands for reason because that's why we've got the lower
sensitivity than you would see on a typical gaming grade laser mouse so the
the difference with something like this
between like I said what looks like an M Mouse like you would get for $4.99 in
the bin is not necessarily what's gone into the looks of it but the quality of
the switches so the fact that they are rated for 20 million clicks which is going to going to be important for
gamers where you're going like click click click click click fire fire fire fire fire most people don't use their
computer like that so if you want something that's going to last longer there you go and then the other thing is
of course the grade of the laser inside you don't find any of the sort of extra
Frills and bells and whistles like a braided cable or you know a goldplated
connector but quite frankly the part of the connector that actually matters is
goldplated because when they gold plate this outer part here it doesn't even do
anything because that's not a contact point for the mouse the contact points
are inside the connector here and even on the g100s they are goldplated now in
terms of size it's a pretty comfortable size for me to almost Palm so I would
normally use a mouse like this in more of a claw grip so I have slightly
smaller male hands and I would hold it about like this where I can put my palm
on the back but I wouldn't quite cup it like I would do something more like a
g400s which we'll be taking a look at as well other than the standard buttons
your left and right click your middle click and your scroll wheel there's just a DPI switcher here in the middle and
that's pretty much it thanks for checking out my unboxing and first look at the g100s from Logitech don't forget
