That's really cool, if I had a desk I'd go for that

How many programmable buttons does the G703 have? It looks like it's the successor to my G700s, so I'm hoping it does have at least 13 programmable buttons like the G700s does.

These products are either really cool or extremely stupid. Most people get a wireless mouse for reasons such as: * They are using a laptop and don't want to use the trackpad and don't want yet another cord to deal with while they're on-the-go. * They can control their media PC from their couch. * They're ideal for PCs that are connected to another display for presentation purposes. Given these scenarios, I don't see how the user could regularly end up using the charging pad. Kind of the point of a wireless mouse is to not be tethered to the same desk. If these users only put the mouse on the charging pad when they're not using the mouse anymore then what's the interest in this model? Logitech has made plenty of cheap and very easy-to-use charging stations to slide your mouse into when you're not using it, which I figure most people never complained about. Now, consider the scenario where you pretty much stay seated at the same desk. Sure, now you'll benefit from charging pad, but you still have a cord coming from the same area as your mouse. So what's the point? Why not just get a wired mouse, which is not only cheaper but guaranteed more reliable? I do see some benefit to a mouse like this - I can think of one person who would really take advantage of this. But this is a very niche product.

Cool but honestly they are solving a problem that doesn't exist. I much prefer a corded mouse with a decent mouse cord bungee.

The next logical step is a desk that charges the mousepad that charges the mouse.

Anyone looking for (in my humble opinion) the best wireless mouse in the world, I strongly recommend the G602, which is now only 40 bucks. I bought mine for double that amount three years ago, and have yet to find a mouse that has at least as many features as this one. I actually have two, one for at work and one for at home. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g602-wireless-gaming-mouse PS: The G502 Proteus Spectrum is also discounted to 60 bucks, in case you'd need a corded mouse for a good price.

How is that monitor on the left not tipping over? That's the real question. As for the wireless mouse charging - I think it's a pretty neat idea. I get that a lot of gamers prefer the cord, I do myself, but if we're going to have wireless mice anyway then I'd rather them charge wirelessly as well.

Well which is it, is it a non-existent problem, or is that bungee useless? As far as I'm concerned, the bungee is an old solution to a common problem, wires. Best solution is to just not have any wires. I have a wireless mouse, the G900, and I absolutely ****ing love the thing. It lasts about a week on a charge, and can still be used while charging. Best mouse ever, though now I obviously wish I'd waited some months.

Thats pretty cool but who needs a charging system when you have a wired mouse and zero input lag?

Looks like I'm maybe getting me a new rodent, depending on the amount of buttons.

You really should be using a Ps/2 mouse, then you won't have to deal with USB driver lag and hang-ups :-P

Same problem, i have buy a G900 1 month ago. Well will maybe have wait a little bit..

Ever use a good wireless mouse, there is a strong difference between no cable and a cable. No cable drag is the selling point of wireless gaming mice this is trying to address the main issue with wireless gaming mice, battery longevity.

I have less drag with g502 and it scord then my old MX1100 (wireless) I then again i also made my own "bungee" so the wire is not drag on anything or touching anything. Made lil hoop that I glued to bottom of my top desks top table which goes to kb tray with just enough cable to be suspended from hoop to the mouse. only drag i have now is from my mouse pad which at this point 20 year old falling apparent max payne pre order cloth mouse pad. cant use mouse tray table seeing it lamented is falling a part. if i could it would be like mouse would be super smooth with almost no friction. Personally I couldn't tell the difference between G502 and MX1100 (wireless) as for latency or input lag they are identical to me. G502 has way less drag, and i dont have to deal with dead batteries. wireless charging might be enough to bring me back wireless. well after this G502 bites the dust and the free replacement g502 RGB i got sitting in a box die too.

Don't waist your money on this These are G901 and and G403 with big receiver and mouse pad. I have G403 for about a year with my gaming laptop and if I get better wheel and third button on the side I will select The G403 wireless as the best mouse I can buy

How feeble do your arms and hands have to be for "cable drag" to be an issue? I used a wireless mouse once and didn't notice the slightest difference of usability or drag. In fact, because of the battery, the mouse was significantly heavier than others I've used, and actually created more drag as a result (though that wasn't a problem to me). When you get a wireless mouse, you are increasing latency, taking the chance of the battery dying on you when you're in the middle of something, or have a risk of losing the signal (it's happened to me, with both RF and Bluetooth mice). If in your opinion latency isn't a problem, fine. If you ensure the battery is always sufficiently charged, great. If the computer is close enough where the signal won't drop out, I don't really get why you're using a wireless device but ok. But here's what I really don't get: if you're a hardcore gamer and want to get as much of an edge as possible, I really can't comprehend why you'd be willing to take so many risks for a "problem" you probably never noticed. Keep in mind, I'm not hating on wireless mice, because there are many uses for them. But I really don't understand why a serious gamer who remains seated at their desk would prefer one.

Don't based all wireless technology/experience based on previous mice you've used way way back or an outdated model. I have used the following: MX500/510/518 -> G400 -> G602 -> G502 -> G900 As resolutions start going higher, surface area getting smaller (for me) I personally went from using my entire arm/desk to move around to just using my wrist for movement in games. Going to claw/wrist mode it became apparent to having wrist issues with mouse weight and this is noticeable on my end. Going to the G502 it was a mouse that was a performer, one of the best sensors and it seemed like the perfect mouse at the time for me. A year or so later ive been having wrist issues and I didnt notice but as I changed to different mice weight starting going up. Fast forward, got the G900 my wrist issues have greatly been reduced (lighter mouse) and I have no lag/noticeable latency from gaming. I play anything from FPS shooters, ARPG, MMOs, MOBAs and have not had any complaints with this mouse. I never knew how much freedom I could have without having a cord, I've had a G602 before but the dpi settings as well as battery weight killed it for me. The G900 has been great to me imo.

Now they have this and other one I saw them introduce having wireless/charging capabilities. [Youtube]39PokuNzlQs[/Youtube]

I play with a wired - mainly because the battery switching would drive me insane, but I play on a 17x15 inch mouse pad. In CS:GO, I play at 600DPI .75 sensitivity, a full left to right mousepad movement with my hand is half a turn in the game. So to do 90 degree snaps, I'm literally sliding my hand 17 inches across the desk. The mouse cord gets in the way. Sometimes because it gets caught behind my desk on some other wire (I have 3 monitors and a 5.1 surround system running behind my desk) other times it gets caught on the edges of the mouse pad itself. Other times its just random **** I threw on my desk throughout the day. Does occur often enough for it to bother me? Not really because I can just blame my missed kills on it, hah - but if they offered a G502 that's wireless that never has to be charged and has similar latency I'd take it in a heart beat. It would avoid those pesky problems for me and it would eliminate another annoying wire behind my desk. Also the G903 is is 11 grams lighter than the wired G502 and as Reardan's link shows, there are several wireless mice that actually have lower latency then wired ones.
