Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the G400S from Logitech, which is part
of their new G series, which is all about for science, rather, uh, science
wins. So, here you go. When you open it up, normally you'd find a bunch of stuff
about DPIs and CPIs and GPA and all that
kind of stuff. But what you actually find inside here is just this advanced
surface materials. Feel the difference. a durable hydrophobic palm surface, soft
touch side grips, and fingerprint resistant button coatings. So, what
they're going for here is what the thing actually feels like to touch. I mean,
yeah, you're going to find specs on the outside of the box as well. So, 400 to
4,000 DPI. This is an optical mouse, so you don't get those crazy like 8,000 DPI
sort of ranges that you can do with laser. Uh 25gs of max acceleration,
1,000 reports per per second. This is one of the differences between the G400S
and the G100S. Aside from the shape and just overall generally being a higherend
mouse, 20 million clicks is the durability rating for the buttons with
250 km for the uh the the the slippy
feet on the bottom. Although I would be tempted to test one of these mice at
some point and uh see if I can get like a warranty replacement like if I drag it
behind a car for 250 km and I'm like,
"Yeah, it wore through." Like, do they mean 250 km on a road surface or on a
mouse pad? I'm just kidding. I know what they mean. So, let's go ahead and open
this bad boy up. This is the iconic
Logitech Shape. So, if you've ever owned a G5 or a G500 or even going back to my
classic MX Duo, which was my first
high-performance keyboard mouse set, uh you've pretty much touched one of these,
which is handy because you know what you're getting yourself into. It's got a
three-year warranty, and they're saying you need Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista, but I would be floored if
they don't work with uh if it doesn't work with Windows XP. Last thing is
their exclusive Delta Zero sensor for consistent high accuracy targeting. And
that's pretty much it. So, let's go ahead and check this out. So, they've got a bit of a different packaging style
than I've seen on a Logitech product before. So, it's like a blue blue
inside. Then, we've got some presumably like a quick start guide or something
like that. Logitech has long ago done away with including CDs with their
products, which I think is great because they're just wasteful. Quite frankly,
you should always go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. And here we go. So,
eight programmable buttons are featured on the Wow. Really? This is hard
to I mean, I've unboxed a lot of stuff, but this is uh this is challenging. It's
like stuck in there. Ah, yes. success.
Um, yeah, I totally lost my train of thought. We'll be back in a moment. Now,
it's a little strange to me that Logitech didn't include a braided cable.
Quite frankly, it's not like it affects the performance of the mouse in any way,
but it just makes it feel a little bit more more premium when you're dropping a
few bucks on a on a gaming mouse. For what it's worth, it does have a
sufficient length, so it'll be able to reach not only to the front of your
case, but also around to the back without any difficulty. So, it looks like it's about Yeah, it's about 6 and
12, 7 ft long, something along those lines. Now, they've talked a lot about
the materials here, and they really are
exceptional. So, this has a a grippy feel without being um without being
rubber, sort of h how do you describe it? You can lift it without it feeling
like your fingers are stuck to it. And then on the back, there's a little tiny
bit of texture here that just I don't
know, it actually does feel kind of nice. Same thing up here on the buttons as well. I mean, honestly though, if
Logitech sales pitch for these mice is, you know, 20 million clicks and 250 km
and advanced materials, there's nothing I can tell you in an unboxing that's
going to tell you like, oh yeah, the materials they used are great. Because
what it's going to come down to is does it peel in 2 or 3 years like so many
rubberized grips on the outsides of mice do. Now Logitech's claiming that these
are some of the most durable materials in existence for mice. But I mean it's
it's hard to sell something like that when we're not going to know how great
it is until it's people have been using them for a few years. So at any rate um
no adjustable weights or anything like that. You've just got your standard optical sensor hole on the bottom as
well as your slippy feet here. You've got back and forward buttons in their
ideal locations. I really like the way Logitech implements these. It was my MX
Duo that got me used to the idea of having back and forward buttons. Now I
really can't live without them. Um, other buttons they've also included are
DPI increase and decrease. Remember, they're all programmable. As well as a
default DPI button, although this one requires you to install the software.
It's also got a middle click as well as left and right clicks. And it's got a
really slick looking G in the middle for their new G series. Overall, feels good.
It's a little bit on the lighter side of medium, so it's not a super lightweight
mouse, but it's not heavy by any stretch of the imagination. And I think that
pretty much wraps us up. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
