Logitech G400sOptical Gaming Mouse

So, I am a relative newbie to the quality computer mice industry. I have owned a couple of "gems" over the past year or so including a gearhead wireless mouse from Wal-Mart. It worked great for about 2-3 months, but being a wireless mouse, I noticed that the tracking and sensitivity began to suffer. Being that I am a fan of World of Tanks MMO, I couldn't settle for such a lack of performance, so I jumped on my trusty old website friend, Amazon.com, to see what I could find. I would like to mention that I carried an Amazon Prime Membership for about a year in college, so I am a huge fan of the internet mogul and what they represent. This was all after trying an E-3lue Mazer Type-R from NuEgg.com as well that, quite simply, failed before I even pulled it out of the box. So, I jumped on Amazon.com and punched in computer mice to find more than 700,000 hits pahah, and after a quick narrowing of search results to reveal only Logitech devices, I was left with roughly 100 mice to consider. Now, I planned on spending roughly $40-$50 on a mouse with the hope that I'd finding something that'd last, and I am confident that the G400s I found, purchased, and have used for about 2 weeks now is just what I was looking for. The packaging alone screams quality and high attention to detail; however, with marketing expertise/business background, I know that with such a striking package display comes a significant cost as well. So, I'm not sure such was necessary and this could have saved me some money in the end. Flamboyant packaging aside, the mouse itself is what's important here. I bought it with 3 key features in mind:4000 DPI Delta Zero Optical Sensor, Long-life buttons rated to 20 million clicks, 8 programmable buttons. From what I can ascertain after just 2 weeks of use, is that Logitech delivered on their product and then some. The mouse is comfortable (like a glove), the tracking and DPI range is flawless (like a GEM), and the programmable buttons (and easily accessible software) are a great balance for the average person. Trust me when I say downloading the software from the website and configuring buttons, sensitivity settings, macros, polling rate and multiple profiles is simple, and efficient. (I set mine up with 3 differing user profiles in just 10 minutes). So, what is the overwhelming takeaway from it all? For under $50, I was able to acquire a mouse that's COMFORTABLE, CUSTOMIZABLE, and built to STRICT QUALITY STANDARDS. Time will tell if the buttons hold up to a behemoth size 20 million clicks, but first impressions speak volumes with people, and I am confident this mouse from Logitech will deliver on its promises!! Logitech G400s Optical Gaming Mouse P.S. It seems like this model may be a bit "dated" or past maturity in its "product life cycle", but I would strongly urge you to consider buying this for just that reason as you will get it for a great price as seemingly "newer" models with minimal improvements will phase this mouse out of the market. I.E. ~ GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT, BEFORE IT'S GONE!!!

Very nice, fast delivery

This replaces my MX G518 mouse that I had for years. I replaced it because the other was pretty scruffy looking and the sliding pads were falling off. It is easy to get used to since the shape and size feels the same. There the similarity ends. Pros: The new one has a much higher DPI that is not as useful as thought. Since I do computer graphics for a living, I thought this maybe useful. The old MX518 had a lower native DPI and it seemed always a bit low. Since I have a 2560x1600 monitor, it takes a lot of DPI if you want to move across the screen without lifting the mouse. It turns out that for 4000 DPI is not useful, though it may come in handy for 4k monitors. In the supplied software you can setup as many as 5 sensitivities. I use 4, from 500 DPI for accurate painting in Photoshop, to 2800 DPI for general computer use if I want to move from side to side of the screen in a few inches. It does all very well. The pads are also very slick, but as someone mentioned, you have to cut holes into them if you want to take the mouse apart for cleaning. The mouse cursor has absolutely no overshoot even when sliding across the screen at high speed and always returns to the same exact spot, assuming cursor acceleration has been switched off. Cons: The scroll wheel is absolutely terrible. This is why the review is only 4 stars. It felt scratchy and stiff, like there was fine sand in the gear. I waited a few months before deciding to taking it apart to break it in and it has improved some.The other issue is that depending on the angle of my finger, if it is right on top, then the scrolling feels even worse. And as mentioned I will have to cut small holes in the pads to access the screws. Maybe it is one way for Logitech to see if the mouse has been taken apart. My plan is to see what's wrong and maybe switch scroll wheels from the older one, if that's possible.

I had an MX518 before this, a mouse that lasted me for ages. I was concerned that after using it for so long it would take ages to get used to a new one. However, the g400s is almost exactly the same. It's slightly lighter in weight, which you notice mostly when moving it, but it tracks superbly, with all mouse buttons responsive and quick. A superb replacement so, and good value for money, especially if it lasts even half the time my old mouse lasted for.

Tres bonne qualité

Excellent wired mouse. Fits the hand nicely, forward/back buttons on the side, DPI change buttons above and below the scroll wheel. All of the of the buttons are configurable, as are the DPI settings, via Logitech's software ("Gaming Software", they call it). The software is very usable and lean (unlike SetPoint for their non-gaming accessories—that software is a flaming pile of ... um... you get the picture). It has a bunch of presets for various games, including pre-configured commands that are unused but can be assigned to buttons. The DPI buttons are really in FPS games, where you might want a higher DPI for precision aiming, as well as MOBAs (and I guess RTSes) to switch between sweeping mouse movements and more intricately aimed manoeuvres. I usually only set up 2 DPI levels for games. The silicon pads on the bottom seem to pick up a lot of dust at its edges. I get to pick out many dust bunnies out of those every week or so.

I've been using the G series of mice for years. Bought this as a "work" mouse at the office. It's lighter then the G5 (now known as G500), but has all the buttons and excellent tracking I'd want. The one regret is it doesn't have the movement speed adjustment buttons on the mouse (seen on the G5 and G500). It's helpful when sniping, or controling paintbrushes in various image software tools. And, lets face it, it looks awesome.
