I'm disappointed.....again. I have the original G700, and it sure is the first Logitech mouse I own that hasn't yet lost a button due to massive use. That one is fine. The keyboards however.... I have the second version of the G15, and it's not a bad product. But the new keyboards are yet again rubberdome tech. Logitech *did* introduce the G710+ mechanical keyboard, and I really really like the MX brown with dampening ring solution, but that one lacks the integrated display, which I wouldn't want to miss ever again. Wake me when they release a mechanical keyboard *with* display. Then that G15 will go. Not a moment sooner.

Came from a G19 to a G710+, can't say i miss the LCD at all. I did replace all o-rings with Red ones tho. And so far i'm rly liking my first Mechanical Keyboard.

I wont be buying anything more from them. My G19 keyboards display rarely works now, its a very common fault. I can get it working by taking it apart, unplugging the internal connectors a few times, but after a short while (mins to hrs) it stops again. You cant change the keyboard backlight colour unless the display is functioning, because the display not working disables the software! My G500 mouse came without the weights tray so I used Blu Tak to hold them in place. It is rarely detected by the driver and cant be configured unless it is detected. It requires a very flat surface or it tracks awefully, giving very jerky/slow movement. Just running the G500 mouse software causes the G19 keyboard software to crash, every single time, so they cant both be used to their potential in the same system. I use a Steelseries Sensei mouse which tracks on just about any surface and doesnt screw my keyboards software up. Although the keyboards software is useless now because the display doesnt work. Absolutely crap products that are supposed to be their flagships and arent cheap, great advert guys.

Are you using Setpoint and LGS at the same time? You're not supposed to I think.

Where did you read that? What alternative do you suggest? You need both software to make full use of both products. I havent found any statement that they shouldnt be used together. There was no message during installation warning about this, and Logitech didnt prevent the installation of either.

I dont think you quite get it. They are both needed to make both products function as they should. Both are made by the same company, so there should not be any compatibility issues. Because people have reported they have trouble running them together is not a reason why they shouldnt be used together. That is a statement about peoples problems with how bad the software is and that it needs fixing. If you have seen a statement from Logitech saying dont use them together, along with a remedy. I'm all ears. But making stuff up after you have just joined this forum is royal.

Indeed, you can't even download Setpoint anymore. Atleast i can't for my G500. I now set it up in LGS aswell as my G710+.

I said "I think" and I said "some people" that doesn't mean everyone has issues. I saw a few posts on thier forums where some people had a few issues and said that. Ok. No need to freak out like that. I said that becuase maybye it could be a problem.... Now most people don't have problems with it. I know that.

This ones a bit close to the bone for me, I paid a fair bit for these and I cant get full function from either and they are even worse when used together! How on earth they can make 2 high class products designed to work together, that dont work together... I just plugged in the G500 mouse (without setpoint running), ran LGS and despite both my mouse and keyboard being plugged in, it says "No Devices Detected".

Damn I just bought a new G400. Going to have to get one of their new mice.

Don't worry, not much has changed except the looks and a different firmware allowing the sensor to push out 4000 dpi (which will push it to it's limits imo, the most solid mouse in the whole line up but the extra 400 dpi is just useless). They have listened to one complaint though, they've somewhat strengthened the connection of the mouse cord so it'll break less easily.

How about setpoint 6.3 or older? Those had support for both gaming and non-gaming products.

Yes many different versions of both, all gave the same behavior. Running both Setpoint and LGS causes LGS to crash, ""immediately"" I run Setpoint. The mouse not being detected is a common problem I found after researching it. At first I couldnt even use it, it took hours before it finally detected it once and let me set it up, but it can rarely be detected even now. It works without the driver, but cant be configured. The Keyboard was fine for about a year, then the display started cutting out (also a common fault). When it does this, the software can no longer detect it and disables all its features. Taking the display apart, unplugging it and reconnecting a few times can get it to work again, but it always stops and its a pita to keep doing this. Much of the time when it doesnt work, it flashes white/black and is very distracting. You can turn the brightness down, BUT only if you can get it to work lol !!

Mufflore, I had issues getting SetPoint to actually work with my G500, even without detection problems....and I can confirm that both SetPoint and LGS should be capable of running together without issue as I've had them both installed together myself....but I've also seen both SetPoint and LGS crash for absolutely no reason at all. Both are pretty crappy imho....

Some people refer to Thermaltake as Thermalbreak.... although I've never had anything of thiers so I haven't a personal experience. Did you contact support about any of the issues? Lots of the time I hear people have a crappy time with something and don't even bother to call support and just buy a new one. How many Logis have you had??

I've had around a dozen Logitech mice, a handful of Logitech keyboards and 2 Logitech headsets...and no, I don't bother contacting customer support. In most cases, they're useless.

I just replaced a Logitech G500 that was less than a year old because it started suffering from the "double-click" issue...and it's laser sensor was starting to fail. That was Logitech mouse #4 in the last 6 years....all with either faulty sensors or malfunctioning left buttons.

Every logitech mouse I owned had the left click "double-click" issue, from the MX 700, MX 1000, G5 and G700. For headsets, I had a G35 Cord Failure so I switched to wireless with the G930 and the left driver stopped working. At this point i'm done with logitech. Everything showcased with the G series just looks like rebranding... boo! Just ordered the Razer black widow 2013 with the new deathadder 2013.:)

Had a logitech G5 (rev 1) which lasted me a massive 6 years after going through some very heavy BF2 play. It then finally died through wear and tear and i know have a G500 and i have no problems with it. Logitech mice i have had good experience's with although my next mouse will be a SteelSeries.

I used a lot of logitech mouse and keyboard, got the old G15, works ok until one of the corner is broken. Got a new G19 keyboard, work for a few days but after some leaking problem, the buttons that control the display stopped working. other function works fine tho. Not sure if its the leak or the keyboard itself... The previous mouse suffer from a broken cable and the current mouse suffer from the double click issue. Their product is good and ergonomic when it works.
