Years Long History of Defective Hardware
- Pros: There are no "pros" when it freezes every 10 - 60 seconds.
- Cons: The Logitech Forums have posts about it's freezing problem for over 2 years. They claim it's caused by this or that, but the bottom line is the hardware is defective, and has been for years. Today I read the G7 is being discontinued, and so one would expect that RMA options are also going to come to and end. My G7 worked fine for about 4 months, then started freezing as if the radio signal was being dropped then re-acquired. Logitech sent me a new one without me having to send the old one back. But then, 2 weeks later the "new" G7 (they said the problem was fixed with a hardware update, but I think that's a lie) started freezing also. A second call to RMA the second P of S G7, and this time they want me to send the second one back (at my expense) before they will approve a 3rd RMA. As if giving me two defective mice in a row suddenly is MY fault. This defect is well documented on the Logitech Forums. I'm not going to pay the shipping to get a 3rd defective mouse.
- Other Thoughts: This is definately one of those situations where you belive what the pessimists are saying and not the optimists. Read the other reviews. In addition to the hardware being defective for YEARS, with no explanation, acknowledgement or fix from Logitech -and- the only thing Logitech will do for you is send you another defective mouse. Also, my last (negative) review of this product was "intercepted" and redirected to Customer Service, and they did nothing for me, so I'm re-writing my previous and negative review. I'm also listing all the other reviews with the most-negative reviews first, and clicking that I have found them all "helpful". Others could do this as well.
- Comments: After using this mouse for a couple weeks, and reading some of the reviews posted by others, i felt the need to review this mouse again. With extended use, i've come to the decision that this mouse is perfect. When i go to work and use a cheap mouse i can barely stand it.
If you want an unnecessarily bulky mouse, go with the MX1000 - that thing feels like they just slapped together a bunch of cool features and said "Hey, that looks good." The G7 is a perfect blend of form and function. I have used it for 3d modeling for many hours straight without the slightest discomfort.
I don't understand why you are complaining that the battery life is bad on this mouse. They made the batteries small and light, and provided 2 of them for this very reason - when one goes dead, switch them. It takes 5 seconds and then you're good to go. I'd take this over having to stick it on a base station every 2 days.
As for a mouse pad, if the expensive one you're using doesn't work, i'd say its the mouse pad's problem. I've tried it on many surfaces such as laminate desks, wood, and my pant leg, and a couple cheap mouse pads and all worked fine. Personally, i have a glass desk, so i stuck a sheet of smooth white contact paper to it. It is the perfect surface, the teflon feet glide across it as if i'd greased them. If you have a roll of contact paper lying around i suggest you try it.
I seriously can't say enough good things about this mouse - it is flawless.
