This is the Logitech wireless gaming mouse G700. Now, I actually had a G7 for a number of years. I quite enjoyed that mouse. I mean, you know what, let's face it, it was really good for the time, but uh once I upgraded to a uh to a more faster, better wired mouse, I did notice the lag that I had been living with all that time. Now, I don't know if the G700, well, I don't know yet if the G700 fixes that, but we can definitely have a look at what is in the box and what features make this particular mouse interesting. So, why don't we look at the tracking first? So, the resolution is 200 to 5700 DPI. The image processing is 12 megapixels per second with max acceleration of 30gs and then max speed of up to 165 in per second. Look at that. All right. Responsiveness up to 1,000 reports per second, which is good. It's about the fastest it goes. Dynamic coefficient of friction. Look at that. Has that on it. And a static coefficient of friction. Okay. The durability 8 million clicks and the feet can go 250 km. Tested on most popular gaming mouse pad surfaces. Cool. Cool. Okay. 13 precisely placed, fully programmable controls. Epic. Really? Okay, let the record show it actually has the word epic on the package. So, this thing better be epically comfortable. Gaming grade wireless powerful control that gets you deep into your game. There's the little wireless receiver, which is a big improvement over the clunky base station with battery charger that the G7 had. 13 programmable controls with macro capability. Natural supportive shape. Full speed wireless plug-and- forget nano receiver. Whoops, I'm not even focused on the right language here. Rechargeable data over cable. Okay. Gaming grade laser, dual mold scroll wheel, smooth gliding feet, onboard. Oh, dual mode scroll wheel is actually a cool feature. And it has an LED display. Look at that. All right. So, let's have a look at uh the packaging itself. Logitech products can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to unbox. So hopefully this is not the case today as I'm not really up for an unboxing challenge. I'd rather just keep things simple and have a look at the product right now. Okay, that's not too challenging so far. Oh, hold on. It's about to get challenging. And it all sort of like falls apart now. Awesome. Okay. So, the first thing we find here is a uh Oh, it's okay. It's a It's a US Sorry, my angle's a little off here. It's a USB extension cable for the micro receiver. Okay. Neato. So, they I think they're recommending that you only really use it for the micro receiver right there. Next, we have important information as well as getting started guide. Next we have Oh, look at that. Okay, so it looks like you can turn it into a corded mouse. That's what this looks like to me. That's a USB cable. And then that's the receiver. You know what? We're going to have to have a look at the mouse to figure out exactly how all of that works. Okay, I'm suspicious that it's complicated at this point, though. Here's the micro receiver. So, it's quite small. My hand for scale. Ger Logitech. Looks like that. There's your part number. And here is the epically comfortable. So they say, \"Ooh, that is actually quite nice.\" Quite nice indeed. The epically comfortable G700. So it looks like there's Are those analoops? Is that an Analoop battery? Nice. Wellplayed Logitech. An enaloops are my personal favorite. In fact, I will do a short demonstration of how enaloops are indeed my favorite batteries. Here's a cat unrelated to enaloops. Okay, so there's my enaloop charger on the wall. Okay, and here are extra analoops. In fact, in my camera, I have more enaloops. Okay, there's other random stuff in here. Hey, look. There's my G7 batteries. Um, okay. That wasn't a very good demo, but I actually have a lot of envelopes. I think most of them are at work right now cuz uh that's where I use most of them when I'm whenever I'm swapping batteries for my camera. Okay, so we're back. Let's have a look at the G700 mouse and not get distracted. Anyway, analoop batteries. Well played, Logitech. I approve. I love Analoops. They're great. They last a long time and they come charged which means your G700 mouse can likely, and I mean like pretty darn likely, be used out of the box. Oh, maybe not cuz it was flipped to the on switch. So, it's possible it's been draining in the packaging. Okay. Well, at any rate, oh no, no, it probably hasn't because it has this little uh Yeah, it's it's being blocked here. So, it's not making contact. Okay. So, yes, it is charged and ready for use. Cool. wireless products that are charged and ready for use. Love it. Okay, let's have a look at the macro buttons. So, first, oh, let's show that epic comfort. So, you can see the palm sits right here. You curve your fingers over the mouse. There they are on the buttons and your thumb goes right there. Actually, it's more like about like this. But, it really does mold right to your hand. That's really nice. So, there's four programmable macro G buttons on the side here. 1 2 3 four. Okay. There's three next to your index finger here. 1, two, three. Very conveniently reachable, very ergonomic. You can see they're actually curved in shape so that when your finger sits here, you can push forward for this one, push back for this one, or push a little bit further back for this guy. So, they can all be reached quite easily. Two more here. Oh, hold on. Aha. That one is for the scroll wheel. So that's the dual mode scroll wheel with either the clickiness or the flywheel. Okay. Here is another G button. So that's not a G button like a G. Okay. You've got your left and right click. You got your clicky on your scroll wheel. And then that pretty much does it for buttons. Here's the slippy pads on the bottom. Onoff switch. Gaming laser. The other side is fairly fairly bare. Not a whole lot going on there. Here is where that uh that charging wire plugs into. Okay. So, you you can use it while you're charging it or you can just leave it uh leave it charging and then pull it off when you're ready to use it. And then the micro receiver plugs into that other cable and just stays plugged in or it plugs directly into your computer, whichever you'd prefer. For less interference, you're probably going to want to plug it into that cable and position it somewhere um with, you know, line of sight to the G700 or whatever else. This looks like a DPI indicator right here. Although I can confirm that. I can't confirm that, but I'm pretty sure that's what that's going to be. So, there it is. That is the G700 mouse. Thank you for checking out my unboxing online. Oh, I should talk about the finish on this guy a little bit. So, it's got kind of a rubberized, grippy feel, kind of like the G9. Uh, personally, I'm a big fan of that. It's very uh fingerprint resistant. So, your mouse isn't going to look all greasy and nasty. And it's also quite uh quite nice to to grip onto. So, it's uh very easy to hold it in place uh however long you happen to be holding a mouse like this. I also like how I mean this seems like a stupid demo, but when you lift up the mouse, it's very very difficult to drop it. So, it has a really really good shape for the hand there. Okay.
