Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse Review

(*est. $75)

This page is part of a larger ConsumerSearch report on Computer Mice and Trackballs which includes more reviews, analysis and a summary of the top-rated models.

What the reviewers like:
While many users and reviewers complain of lag when using cordless mice, the Logitech G7 cordless mouse has no delays in response. Easily adjustable sensitivity to its 2,000-dpi laser engine produces precise and smooth movement and great tracking. The software allows considerable customization. The Logitech G7 comes with two hot-swappable rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and remaining battery life is displayed. The gaming mouse is comfortable, but is contoured only for right-handers.

What the reviewers don't like:
Reviewers bemoan a shortage of buttons on the Logitech G7, and several cite the need for another thumb button. Battery life is too short, and the hot-swappable battery isn't a complete solution. Some reviewers aren't thrilled with the ergonomics and note that the Logitech G5 gaming mouse is better in that regard.

Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse review highlights

The Logitech G7 is a top-of-the-line cordless gaming mouse. It is the wireless version of the Logitech G5 (*est. $45), which is considered the best corded gaming mouse by most reviewers. While the Logitech G5 comes with weights so you can match the weight of the mouse to your personal taste, the G7 uses that space for a rechargeable battery. While reviewers agree that the Logitech G7 is the best cordless gaming mouse, some prefer the ergonomics of the corded Logitech G5.

We found tons of reviews for the Logitech G7 cordless gaming mouse. The reviews range from terrific to useless. We think the most valid and useful reviews come from sources that regularly review mice and have some devotion to game playing, including ExtremeTech.com, SharkyExtreme.com and HardwareLogic.com, among others.
