quick question on the G7

when you charge the battery in the usb charger, is there a light to show you that it is charging ?

I have a G5, really nice mouse - whether cordless / corded it doesn't bother me.

The only thing that DOES annoy me is the middle click (ie. when you click down the mouse scrollwheel) - because it has the ability to click left + right also, it feels very uncertain and you have to push down quite hard to middle-click.

Not sure if G7 has this behaviour too.

If only it had just a standard scrollwheel, it would be the perfect mouse.

yep, it flashes quick on boost ode, and slow on normal mode.

I have had my G7 since its release. Loving this mouse all the time, the on the fly DPI switches are great for games and like most ppl said it only takes a few seconds to change the batteries for continious gaming.

I would deffo recommened this to anyone :cool:

Buy one!

What you got at the moment? I love my DiNovo, really like typing on it, but I do like laptop style keyboards...DiNovo keys are full size and have a normal layout too

WantoN · 12 May 2006 at 18:48

One of the old Logitech's with the plasticy media controls. Lovely to type on, it's just pretty ugly and not particularly functional :/

Ant :cool:

G7 batteries arent ver good but i still like it

pcknight · 12 May 2006 at 22:52

Batteries. That's what is putting me off a cordless mouse. I like the G7 and the G5. Everything is pointing to the G5 for me. Is the MX1000 bigger in size that the G5 and the G7? The reason i ask is because the MX1000 is just too big as far as i am concerned and i have large hands!!

Give me a few mins and I'll do a video to show how quick and easy the battery change is.

If you remember to turn the G7 off when not in use (unlike me) they last a few days of 3-4 hours use a day. If you forget they'll last a day

I apologise for the low quality and fps, it was taken on a webcam, but here's a battery change on a G7

Should take less than a minute to load on broadband.

That's all you have to do, and that was taken in real time

I love my G7, I can pretend I'm reloading a weapon when I change batteries hold the mouse upside down in my right hand, press the battery release button with your thumb on your right hand slap the other battery in with the other hand

< ---- doesn't get out much hehe

i get the same feeling when changing the weights in my G5

cant speak for the G7 but the G5 is lush, dont like cordless mice tho, so id get G5

Having had an MX700, and then an MX510 (the red one

), and then the MX1000, I'd say I prefer the feel of the MX1000, its bigger, and it feels a lot more comfy in my hand. My MX700 just feels small and odd now, heh!
