1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,680
Now, this is something I've wanted to have a look at for a little while. This

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:11,200
is the Logitech wireless gaming mouse G700. Now, I actually had a G7 for a

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,160
number of years. I quite enjoyed that mouse. I mean, you know what, let's face

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:23,760
it, it was really good for the time, but uh once I upgraded to a uh to a more

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,840
faster, better wired mouse, I did notice

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,920
the lag that I had been living with all that time. Now, I don't know if the

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:34,960
G700, well, I don't know yet if the G700

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,680
fixes that, but we can definitely have a

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,640
look at what is in the box and what features make this particular mouse

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,920
interesting. So, why don't we look at the tracking first? So, the resolution

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,320
is 200 to 5700 DPI. The image processing

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:56,559
is 12 megapixels per second with max acceleration of 30gs and then max speed

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:58,879
of up to 165 in per second.

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,600
Look at that. All right. Responsiveness up to 1,000 reports per second, which is

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:08,000
good. It's about the fastest it goes. Dynamic coefficient of friction. Look at

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:14,320
that. Has that on it. And a static coefficient of friction. Okay. The

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,799
durability 8 million clicks and the feet

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,360
can go 250 km. Tested on most popular

19
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:27,200
gaming mouse pad surfaces. Cool. Cool. Okay. 13 precisely placed, fully

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:33,119
programmable controls. Epic. Really?

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Okay, let the record show it actually

22
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:37,840
has the word epic on the package. So,

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,759
this thing better be epically comfortable. Gaming grade wireless

24
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:45,040
powerful control that gets you deep into your game. There's the little wireless

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,600
receiver, which is a big improvement over the clunky base station with

26
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:53,520
battery charger that the G7 had. 13 programmable controls with macro

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,119
capability. Natural supportive shape. Full speed wireless plug-and- forget

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:03,680
nano receiver. Whoops, I'm not even focused on the right language here.

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,439
Rechargeable data over cable.

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Okay. Gaming grade laser, dual mold scroll wheel, smooth gliding feet,

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,520
onboard. Oh, dual mode scroll wheel is actually a cool feature. And it has an

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,800
LED display. Look at that. All right. So, let's have a look at uh the

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,840
packaging itself. Logitech products can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to

34
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,800
unbox. So hopefully this is not the case today as I'm not really up for an

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,959
unboxing challenge. I'd rather just keep things simple and have a look at the

36
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,959
product right now.

37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Okay, that's not too challenging so far.

38
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Oh, hold on. It's about to get challenging. And it all sort of like falls apart now.

39
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:52,080
Awesome. Okay. So, the first thing we find here

40
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:58,280
is a uh Oh, it's okay. It's a It's a US Sorry, my angle's a little off here.

41
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,280
It's a USB extension cable

42
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,480
for the micro receiver. Okay. Neato. So,

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,519
they I think they're recommending that you only really use it for the micro receiver right there. Next, we have

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:17,440
important information as well as getting started guide.

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,360
Next we have Oh, look at that. Okay, so it looks like

46
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,360
you can turn it into a corded mouse. That's what this looks like to me.

47
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,920
That's a USB cable. And then that's the receiver. You know what? We're going to

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,440
have to have a look at the mouse to figure out exactly how all of that

49
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,879
works. Okay, I'm suspicious that it's

50
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:42,319
complicated at this point, though. Here's the micro receiver. So, it's

51
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,680
quite small. My hand for scale.

52
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,640
Ger Logitech. Looks like that. There's

53
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:53,840
your part number. And here is the epically comfortable. So they say, "Ooh,

54
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:59,200
that is actually quite nice." Quite nice indeed. The epically comfortable G700.

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,560
So it looks like there's Are those analoops? Is that an Analoop battery?

56
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Nice. Wellplayed Logitech. An enaloops are my personal

57
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:15,040
favorite. In fact, I will do a short demonstration

58
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,040
of how enaloops are indeed my favorite

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040
batteries.

60
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,199
Here's a cat unrelated to enaloops.

61
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Okay, so there's my enaloop charger on the wall.

62
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,280
Okay, and here

63
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:37,280
are extra analoops. In fact, in my camera, I have more enaloops. Okay,

64
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,759
there's other random stuff in here. Hey, look. There's my G7 batteries. Um, okay.

65
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:47,840
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

66
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,080
cuz uh that's where I use most of them when I'm whenever I'm swapping batteries

67
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,360
for my camera. Okay, so we're back. Let's have a look at the G700 mouse and

68
00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,880
not get distracted. Anyway, analoop batteries. Well played, Logitech. I

69
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:06,240
approve. I love Analoops. They're great. They last a long time and they come

70
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,639
charged which means your G700 mouse can

71
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,680
likely, and I mean like pretty darn likely, be used out of the box. Oh,

72
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,680
maybe not cuz it was flipped to the on switch. So, it's possible it's been

73
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,600
draining in the packaging. Okay. Well, at any rate, oh no, no, it probably

74
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,120
hasn't because it has this little uh Yeah, it's it's being blocked here. So,

75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,919
it's not making contact. Okay. So, yes, it is charged and ready for use. Cool.

76
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:33,440
wireless products that are charged and ready for use. Love it. Okay, let's have

77
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,400
a look at the macro buttons. So, first, oh, let's show that epic comfort. So,

78
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:40,240
you can see the palm sits right here.

79
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,880
You curve your fingers over the mouse. There they are on the buttons and your

80
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,440
thumb goes right there. Actually, it's more like about like this. But, it

81
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:52,320
really does mold right to your hand. That's really nice. So, there's four

82
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:58,960
programmable macro G buttons on the side here. 1 2 3 four. Okay. There's three

83
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,120
next to your index finger here. 1, two, three. Very conveniently reachable, very

84
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,400
ergonomic. You can see they're actually curved in shape so that when your finger

85
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,080
sits here, you can push forward for this one, push back for this one, or push a

86
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:19,680
little bit further back for this guy. So, they can all be reached quite easily. Two more here.

87
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Oh, hold on. Aha. That one is for the scroll wheel.

88
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,720
So that's the dual mode scroll wheel with either the clickiness or the

89
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:34,240
flywheel. Okay. Here is another G button. So

90
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,800
that's not a G button like a G. Okay. You've got your left and

91
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,639
right click. You got your clicky on your scroll wheel. And then that pretty much

92
00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:49,199
does it for buttons. Here's the slippy pads on the bottom. Onoff switch. Gaming

93
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:54,160
laser. The other side is fairly fairly bare. Not a whole lot going on there.

94
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,319
Here is where that uh that charging wire

95
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:01,039
plugs into. Okay. So, you you can use it while

96
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,639
you're charging it or you can just leave it uh leave it charging and then pull it

97
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:09,599
off when you're ready to use it. And then the micro receiver plugs into that

98
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,160
other cable and just stays plugged in or it plugs directly into your computer,

99
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:17,599
whichever you'd prefer. For less interference, you're probably going to want to plug it into that cable and

100
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:22,160
position it somewhere um with, you know, line of sight to the G700 or whatever

101
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:27,720
else. This looks like a DPI indicator right here. Although I can confirm that.

102
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:36,560
I can't confirm that, but I'm pretty sure that's what that's going to be. So,

103
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,160
there it is. That is the G700 mouse.

104
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,120
Thank you for checking out my unboxing online. Oh, I should talk about the

105
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:45,280
finish on this guy a little bit. So, it's got kind of a rubberized, grippy

106
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:49,840
feel, kind of like the G9. Uh, personally, I'm a big fan of that. It's

107
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,560
very uh fingerprint resistant. So, your mouse isn't going to look all greasy and

108
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,440
nasty. And it's also quite uh quite nice

109
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:01,599
to to grip onto. So, it's uh very easy to hold it in place uh however long you

110
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,319
happen to be holding a mouse like this. I also like how I mean this seems like a

111
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:10,879
stupid demo, but when you lift up the mouse, it's very very difficult to drop

112
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:14,879
it. So, it has a really really good shape for the hand there.

113
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Okay. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips.
