Logitech G7 Cordless Laser Mouse
I’ve just ordered a new mouse after eventually hunting out my old wireless Trust mouse and finding that the batteries I had left in it have started to grow at the negative electrodes and have eaten away at the contacts for the batteries.
After a few attempts to clean the contacts and eventually breaking the somewhat brittle metal I decided that an upgrade was the only sensible course of action – also owing to the fact my current mouse is as ergonomic as a brick!
A quick look around on eBuyer threw up several options of which I chose the Logitech G7 Cordless Laser Mouse.
I’m not sure what the difference having a laser mouse has compared to a good old fashioned optical mouse, but anything with a laser built in is obviously superior! The mouse itself boasts 2 Li-Ion battery packs which charge on a base station provided with the mouse, meaning that there’s no downtime when one battery runs out, and some pretty nifty looking battery indicators to tell you when the current one is running low. The mouse can also be programmed with variable resolutions from 400 dpi to 2000 dpi, this can be switched on-the-fly whilst using the device, apparently allowing you to jump “from pixel-precise targeting to fast-twitch maneuvers, without pausing the action”.
Below are some of the images of the device from the Logitech website, expect more to follow and a review when I actually receive the device.
Much World of Warcraft will ensue when the mouse actually arrives (although no more than before it arrives)!
