great review, sad that the new design tries to be super snazzy, but ends up failing.

Great review; just wondering: I can't find this on any German online-shop yet.

this mouse looks really nice to me. Very simple and minimalistic but I'm one of the persons who needs two thumb buttons for sc2 ^.^ . So I will stay with my g500 ^^

need? I used to think I needed side buttons, and definitely would like 1-2, but shape and performance outweigh this consideration for me entirely. I really don't mind none for SC (what do you use yours for btw?), but FPS games is where 4+5th buttons would be actually useful. Also, somewhat unrelated but lol I just bought a WMO, couldn't help myself I guess.

Thanks for the review, I was thinking about picking one of these up.

I think you also reviewed a Roccat Pyra once, which is what I am using atm, what do you think of the G100s in comparison to the Pyra?

So in terms of RTS it actually isn't that much of a fail?

In terms of overall tracking precision, I like the 100s better. As for the rest, shape was one of the main reasons I moved away from the Pyra (mouse is just too small for me personally), but I also didn't like how easy it was for me to accidentally activate sw2 either because of my grip. I also think I prefer a centered sensor as well, so that may be part of what I wasn't enamored with regarding its tracking.

And no, I would say the 100s is a decent mouse in general. Not utterly phenomenal as the build is from other reports varying a bit across the user-base (some people have really squeaky wheels, I don't, some have no issues with travel distance of the main switches, I do). So It's fairly good, just not one that people will be ravenous about for years to come (the way people talk about the Deathadder or original G1 or WMO). Having owned more high end Logitech mice previously I wouldn't have minded shelling out a little more for something that felt a little more developed, but this honestly is a minor quip.

Take this for what you will though, I'm a rather discerning customer so what I think of as adequate might equate to 'OMFG THIS IS SO AWWESOME!!!" by someone else. It's a good mouse, but I'm not gushing over it as there are some shortcomings.

I play Osu* + Show Spoiler +
and 2d games on 1920x1080 and would use the 500 or 750 dpi step, maybe some FPS in the future (i used to play low sens fps) but not my biggest focus, at least not right now

*That vid is not me, but i am quite good now and looking to improve. I can score ~95-96% at best on that map

Coming from deathadder 3.5g, love the sensor qualities but i find the shape of the mouse awkward and hard to control, particularly when chaotically changing direction at high speeds (like in that video..) I think it might be just too big+long for me, and the center of gravity seems pretty weird, there's too much weight at the front, a lot more weight on the left side and it's impossible to grip in some ways or harder in others due to the slippery plastic on every centimeter of the mouse that you would actually want to grip, so i'd like new experiences to see if there is anything better out there, Deathadder just doesn't seem designed for 630dpi.

I havn't used any other half decent mouse before (my other experiences were $5 mice, and a steelseries WoW mouse which has an awful sensor i can't even begin to use now, massive positive acceleration and malfunctions when i snap mouse from screen to screen, nevermind my gameplay speeds) so i don't really know what to expect, should i buy this mouse?

I was also looking at the CM Spawn Storm, but i think it had a few weird issues, need to look more into what they were

+ Show Spoiler +
edit: Another osu vid. This map is a killer for being able to grip and control mouse properly
All of the youtube vids of people with decent scores are using tablets + pen's for "mouse" tracking, because they can't do it otherwise =P



^This map also chokes me out, you can probably see why. I want to improve mouse grip and get a size/shape/weight that works for me, because it feels like it might be holding me back a lot at this point

Osu is more of a mouse practice thing for me than a focus, but it really helps massively, and exposes problems with mouse use very quickly. Maps like that last one i linked are just flat out impossible without great settings, grip, and near perfect control

I can understand, the Deathadder has a great setup but is in such a large shell that so many of us would have a hard time with it. Anyway, for FPS the amount of malfunctioning you experience will be dependent on how fast you swipe, so if you use 750 and 1 sens you might be ok (that setting is pretty much fine for %75 use at least, rough estimate). For 2d environments, the sensor will track just fine. I am on a 1920x1200 using 750cpi and I don't have any issues (apart from the mechanical ones I had).

You're probably going to have to just bite the bullet tho and start experimenting with different shapes and mice, and if so then I would say definitely give this a try if you have the cash to expend on it (or...wait for Aurora, but that's a gamble as who knows if bst will hit his Aug 1 mark or not). If money is tighter I might look at more options first but ultimately I can't really speak for you as shape is really preferential.

Oh, also go to OCN, CM just released a new firmware for the Spawn just yesterday.

Edit: grs, USA was the first market to get the new G-series, with Europe soon afterwards, so It'll probably be soon.

Double edit: also CM hinted they would have a WMO-like or AM/FK-like mouse in the works. Dunno how pressing this is for you. Also ttesports is working with Tastosis on peripherals so at some point we'll see what they've got there as well.

Thanks for the info! I am really looking for a new simple Logitech mouse.

Currently using a $10 Logitech M90 at the moment, and I'm strongly considering picking one of these up, as it shares the same shape yet has a higher DPI and additional buttons. Shame I can't seem to find it anywhere except in America though.

Picked up one of these - had the squeaking and soggy right click buttons.

Going to take it back.

Just picked one up for around 30$, very happy with it, I havent been playing much RTS due to having to use my older machine at the moment, but I love it and havent seemed to notice the right click issue the review spoke of, but im open to the prospect I just havent played enough to notice

Hi, quick question, how customizable is the extra button at the top? I've gotten so used to using one of the side buttons on my DA to return to desktop, it would be hard to part with that feature

Alright, So I got it yesterday. It was a pretty big leap from a death adder, but I'm already used to it. Extremely happy with it overall

Does it feel a lot smaller/lighter?
