on my desk you see three mice one of which is my current favorite the steel
0:04
Ser series iari laser okay the other of
0:08
which is my old favorite the Logitech G7
0:12
you can see this is a very well-used Mouse I used it for a very long time and
0:17
the other one is one that I would love to be my favorite this is the new
0:21
Logitech g700 so basically here's my problem with
0:26
the G7 which I loved a lot back in the
0:29
day okay this is my monitor this is a 30-in monitor so here's like my foot for
0:35
scale okay very large monitor as soon as
0:38
I went up to the resolution of 2560 x600
0:42
what I found was that I was noticing a
0:45
very substantial input leg from my G7
0:49
now I'd never had problems with wireless peripherals in the past and I don't know
0:53
why but it always seems to me that the higher resolution you go the more of a
0:58
problem they become so back when I was running at uh oh shoot what was it 1280
1:03
by 960 um and that was with an MX Duo I
1:09
didn't have any issues but then as soon as I upgraded my monitor to this guy
1:13
that is the Dell 245 fpw so that was a
1:16
number of years ago all of a sudden it was unusable and so I had to change my M my
1:22
mouse at that time and then when I went from that monitor to this one Samsung
1:25
305t plus I had to get rid of my G7
1:29
because it was unbearably slow like i' I'd move the mouse and then there'd be a
1:34
per a very very perceivable lag and then
1:37
the mouse poer would move so I went to the iari laser now the g700 uh this one
1:42
is just a unit from our inventory so I
1:45
only get to Tinker with it for a little while here but what I wanted to know was
1:49
is there any in perceivable input lag
1:53
with the g700 even at very high res and
1:56
the answer is pretty much much no so that
2:01
was basically the whole point of this video but I can take a little bit of
2:04
time and show you guys the uh the drivers which are excellent by the way I
2:08
mean we've come to expect that from Logitech so you can assign all the
2:11
buttons and there are many buttons oops
2:14
you're not going to have a hard time seeing that I suppose yeah there we go so there's some buttons there there's
2:18
some buttons there and there there's buttons all over the place so you can
2:21
assign them to whatever you please you can assign different DPI settings to a
2:27
bunch of different profiles you can set the report rate you can set all kinds of
2:31
great stuff like uh what is it called snapping or something along those lines
2:35
uh angle snapping right where it'll correct for uh straight line movements
2:39
which I hate by the way I keep that off these are actually my preferred settings
2:42
so I got a few different DPI settings I got speed I got acceleration not using
2:46
the native OS I've got the pulling rate up nice and high which is a good thing
2:50
okay buttons right scrolling you can change that battery oh my Mouse's
2:54
battery is low which is fine because uh you can actually plug the g700 in and
2:59
use it as a Wired Mouse and let it charge like that okay I've also got it
3:04
set to the power mode of Max gaming so that might have something to do with it
3:07
I can manage macros I love logitech's macro software I use it on my g15 at
3:12
home and my other more different g15 at work and so thank you for checking out
3:16
this little video so for anyone who was
3:20
wondering well what's the what's what's the latency like what's the wireless
3:24
latency like you know what it's pretty darn good it's not perfect it's not
3:29
quite I can't I can feel it but it's not bothersome it's very very very very
3:35
slight and uh I'm I'm really quite
3:38
impressed with the g700 and for some reason my camera won't focus anymore I
3:43
guess that's the camera telling me it's time to end the video thank you for
3:48
