WEBVTT 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 00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:11.200 is the Logitech wireless gaming mouse G700. Now, I actually had a G7 for a 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:16.160 number of years. I quite enjoyed that mouse. I mean, you know what, let's face 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 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:25.840 faster, better wired mouse, I did notice 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 00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:34.960 G700, well, I don't know yet if the G700 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.680 fixes that, but we can definitely have a 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.640 look at what is in the box and what features make this particular mouse 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.920 interesting. So, why don't we look at the tracking first? So, the resolution 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:48.320 is 200 to 5700 DPI. The image processing 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:56.559 is 12 megapixels per second with max acceleration of 30gs and then max speed 00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:58.879 of up to 165 in per second. 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.600 Look at that. All right. Responsiveness up to 1,000 reports per second, which is 00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:08.000 good. It's about the fastest it goes. Dynamic coefficient of friction. Look at 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:14.320 that. Has that on it. And a static coefficient of friction. Okay. The 00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.799 durability 8 million clicks and the feet 00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:21.360 can go 250 km. Tested on most popular 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:27.200 gaming mouse pad surfaces. Cool. Cool. Okay. 13 precisely placed, fully 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:33.119 programmable controls. Epic. Really? 00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:36.240 Okay, let the record show it actually 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:37.840 has the word epic on the package. So, 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.759 this thing better be epically comfortable. Gaming grade wireless 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.040 powerful control that gets you deep into your game. There's the little wireless 00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.600 receiver, which is a big improvement over the clunky base station with 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:53.520 battery charger that the G7 had. 13 programmable controls with macro 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:57.119 capability. Natural supportive shape. Full speed wireless plug-and- forget 00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:03.680 nano receiver. Whoops, I'm not even focused on the right language here. 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.439 Rechargeable data over cable. 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:10.000 Okay. Gaming grade laser, dual mold scroll wheel, smooth gliding feet, 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.520 onboard. Oh, dual mode scroll wheel is actually a cool feature. And it has an 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:18.800 LED display. Look at that. All right. So, let's have a look at uh the 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.840 packaging itself. Logitech products can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to 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 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.959 unboxing challenge. I'd rather just keep things simple and have a look at the 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.959 product right now. 00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:39.360 Okay, that's not too challenging so far. 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. 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:52.080 Awesome. Okay. So, the first thing we find here 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. 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.280 It's a USB extension cable 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:04.480 for the micro receiver. Okay. Neato. So, 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 00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:17.440 important information as well as getting started guide. 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:21.360 Next we have Oh, look at that. Okay, so it looks like 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.360 you can turn it into a corded mouse. That's what this looks like to me. 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 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.440 have to have a look at the mouse to figure out exactly how all of that 00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:36.879 works. Okay, I'm suspicious that it's 00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:42.319 complicated at this point, though. Here's the micro receiver. So, it's 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.680 quite small. My hand for scale. 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.640 Ger Logitech. Looks like that. There's 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:53.840 your part number. And here is the epically comfortable. So they say, "Ooh, 00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:59.200 that is actually quite nice." Quite nice indeed. The epically comfortable G700. 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.560 So it looks like there's Are those analoops? Is that an Analoop battery? 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:10.000 Nice. Wellplayed Logitech. An enaloops are my personal 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:15.040 favorite. In fact, I will do a short demonstration 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.040 of how enaloops are indeed my favorite 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.040 batteries. 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:25.199 Here's a cat unrelated to enaloops. 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.400 Okay, so there's my enaloop charger on the wall. 00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.280 Okay, and here 00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.280 are extra analoops. In fact, in my camera, I have more enaloops. Okay, 00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:41.759 there's other random stuff in here. Hey, look. There's my G7 batteries. Um, okay. 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 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 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 00:04:53.919 --> 00:05:00.880 not get distracted. Anyway, analoop batteries. Well played, Logitech. I 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:06.240 approve. I love Analoops. They're great. They last a long time and they come 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.639 charged which means your G700 mouse can 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:13.680 likely, and I mean like pretty darn likely, be used out of the box. Oh, 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 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.600 draining in the packaging. Okay. Well, at any rate, oh no, no, it probably 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, 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.919 it's not making contact. Okay. So, yes, it is charged and ready for use. Cool. 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:33.440 wireless products that are charged and ready for use. Love it. Okay, let's have 00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.400 a look at the macro buttons. So, first, oh, let's show that epic comfort. So, 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.240 you can see the palm sits right here. 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:42.880 You curve your fingers over the mouse. There they are on the buttons and your 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.440 thumb goes right there. Actually, it's more like about like this. But, it 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:52.320 really does mold right to your hand. That's really nice. So, there's four 00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:58.960 programmable macro G buttons on the side here. 1 2 3 four. Okay. There's three 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:03.120 next to your index finger here. 1, two, three. Very conveniently reachable, very 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.400 ergonomic. You can see they're actually curved in shape so that when your finger 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 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. 00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:23.000 Oh, hold on. Aha. That one is for the scroll wheel. 00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:28.720 So that's the dual mode scroll wheel with either the clickiness or the 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.240 flywheel. Okay. Here is another G button. So 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.800 that's not a G button like a G. Okay. You've got your left and 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:42.639 right click. You got your clicky on your scroll wheel. And then that pretty much 00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:49.199 does it for buttons. Here's the slippy pads on the bottom. Onoff switch. Gaming 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.160 laser. The other side is fairly fairly bare. Not a whole lot going on there. 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.319 Here is where that uh that charging wire 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.039 plugs into. Okay. So, you you can use it while 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 00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:09.599 off when you're ready to use it. And then the micro receiver plugs into that 00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:12.160 other cable and just stays plugged in or it plugs directly into your computer, 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 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:22.160 position it somewhere um with, you know, line of sight to the G700 or whatever 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:27.720 else. This looks like a DPI indicator right here. Although I can confirm that. 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, 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:38.160 there it is. That is the G700 mouse. 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:41.120 Thank you for checking out my unboxing online. Oh, I should talk about the 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.280 finish on this guy a little bit. So, it's got kind of a rubberized, grippy 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 00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:54.560 very uh fingerprint resistant. So, your mouse isn't going to look all greasy and 00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:57.440 nasty. And it's also quite uh quite nice 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 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 00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:10.879 stupid demo, but when you lift up the mouse, it's very very difficult to drop 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:14.879 it. So, it has a really really good shape for the hand there. 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.120 Okay. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips.
