Customer Reviews:
my favorite mouse so far.......2007-12-31
People buy things expecting it to help them but the one thing most don't realize is that its them that need to change. Most products that help in terms of ergonomics and performance serve mainly as crutches that show a problem already exists.
Anyways, you do have to get use to this mouse because a slight movement when clicking is not a click. This is also a software thing so could be adjusted. I bought this mouse because of its design. I wanted a functional, ambidexterous mouse with 5 buttons and high resolution. The scroll wheel is quiet and solid. It has noticeable indentations when you scroll. It has good weight, durable grippy surface, and large gliding feets. This simple mouse seems built to last. One negative is that the resolution changing button doesn't give you enough feedback once you press it (feels cheap, looks cheap as well). So sometimes you have to be attuned to the speed of cursor movements. I have small hands and can reach all buttons comfortably so all my fingers get a good workout. I hope they come out with games where you can control things with two mouses! I bought one over a year ago and I got another one when it was on sell! There are many things they can do to improve input devices and these companies know this!
Vastly Superior.......2007-06-03
After, reading many reviews, I chose the G3 Laser Mouse. I wasn't disappointed! Right out of the box it far surpassed my old "roller ball" type mouse and made gaming, surfing and computer work alot easier. I was also amazed at the downloadable software which made the G3 customizable to my own needs. It does take a little bit of getting used to the the new buttons but that goes with the territory.
I'm very pleased with the product, support and the software. Logitech built a better mouse not a trap!
Pretty good........2007-05-18
I did not purchase this mouse for gaming, but instead bought it for its high DPI -- without running the driver software the mouse can switch between 800 and 1600 DPI. The special driver software is not available for Mac, which is the platform I use.
Over the years I've learned to eliminate my mouse-related cramps/pains by using the fastest mice and drivers available. I formerly used the Logitech Mx300 (an 800 DPI mouse) with USB Overdrive (A third-party Mac driver) at the fastest DPI setting (80 DPI) -- All fine for a few years, but I had to live with the mouse skipping pixels when I tried to be precise with it -- that made PhotoShop work sometimes frustrating.
This mouse has the same form-factor as my older Logitech mouse, which was the other reason I considered switching. (Logitech seems to have carried on this form-factor through the years, and I hope they stick with it.) It tracks very well without a mouse pad (I'm using on a Birch veneer IKEA desktop) and the 1600 DPI mode makes for really, really, precise movement -- no more skipping pixels. Since I keep the mouse on the highest setting all the time, I can slow it down with the top button when I need extra precision.
I've only been using the mouse a few days, but I've noticed a few gotcha's: First, my former Mx300 had a metal weight in the mouse. This was easy enough to remove, as the screw hole was exposed. Not so on the G3. It feels like there's a weight in there, but the screw access is probably under the pads. Fortunately, the pads are really, really slick, so it's probably not going to be a problem until they get scratched up a bit and the responsiveness goes down. Anyone concerned about getting a stiff or cramped wrist from mousing would be wise to remove the metal weights from their mice -- IMHO, The Man put them in there to make you work harder! Ahem...
Next, when upgrading from an 800 to 1600 dpi mouse, the 'mouse acceleration' is not 1:1 -- I can't quite set my mouse driver (third party or OS X driver) to 'feel' the same as my old mouse -- it's a wee bit off.
Third, the cord is a bit stiff -- definitely stiffer than the Mx300's cord, or my default Apple mouse cord. You can feel it resist when using the mouse, tugging at your hand a bit. I'm hoping it wears in.
Also, the little middle button is not reprogrammable, as it is on my Mx300 (the mouse has the same form-factor, except the G3 has two additional side buttons) -- it's a hard-wired toggle between 800 & 1600 DPI (when not running the driver software). I don't know if it reprogrammable if you're running the Logitec software, but it's at least something Mac users should consider.
Finally, this mouse touts a non-slip grip, which I would say it definitely has. However, it feels a bit abrasive on my finger tips -- feeling a bit like "rubberized emery-cloth." I doesn't just give traction, but feels like there are gritty particles on the surface. Bleh. Maybe years of sitting at my desk and writing software for 14 hours a day left me with sensitive fingers tips, I guess?
Ideally, I'd rate this mouse between a 3 and a 4. I'm hoping the little niggling things, like the stiff cord and the abrasive grip sides, wear in after a while. However, precision and sensitivity are what this mouse does well, so I'm willing to forgo 3 stars and give it 4 -- I like it, but I don't love it.
g3 logitech mouse as a gaming mouse.......2007-03-10
Compared to my logitech mouseman dual optical from 2000, this mouse blows it away by far in accuracy, precision. What I find to be a drawback is the mouse's light weight and small size. The size comes in handy if I need to flick, but be sure to keep the wire out of the way - as the mouse is so light if you have the wire in a bad spot, it will push the mouse and affect your aim at crucial moments. The "change sensitivity" button is in a strange spot (at least if u have large hands) located in the center of the mouse where you will need to reach far back and almost touch the pad of your palm of the finger you're reaching with - not an efficient movement, therefore not applicable in games (you can assign a sensitivity script to perhaps one of the side mouse buttons if necessary). These are only minor itches when compared to the outstanding precision and I would highly recommend it.
Superb Performance.......2007-03-01
First, I have 2 minor complaints I'd like to get out of the way. This mouse is a few more dollars than the G5, so I wish it had the dpi meter display on it like the G5 does, as it should for the price. Also, about the right "forward" button on the right side perimeter of the mouse: The size and position of this button makes it a little awkward for me to hit it with great comfort, but it's still possible and not too bad.
Now, on to everything great about this mouse. As someone else mentioned, with the downloaded software, this mouse can be customized and with five dpi settings from 800-2,000. By default, before software, the mouse has 2 speeds, 800 and 1600 dpi. 1600 dpi is blazing fast, and I can barely control the mouse at this speed, but it's incredible. 2,000 is even faster. I can't wait to get used to it (I just got the mouse). Switching between dpi settings is really easy by just clicking the "running man" button on the mouse. The main left and right buttons feel great with a wonderful click. The feet on the mouse glide very well. The scroll wheel is smooth with light scroll "clicks" as you scroll it. Overall, this mouse feels great, the materials used are of the highest quality, and it's deadly accurate no matter how quickly I move it (even when I try my hardest to mess it up). This is an awesome-looking mouse, too. It's a real pleasure to use. As a side note, I chose this over the G5 because the G5 lacked a "forward" button for internet surfing, which I do a lot of. Even though the G5 has the dpi meter, I still think this mouse is more suited to my needs, and I'm very happy with my choice of the Logitech G3. Highly recommended.
