Personally I like the G9 and G9x. Logitech make good quality mice.




Don't get a razor, their build quality is terrible.

Let me second that. G700 is an awesome mouse, dual wired/wireless modes, 5700DPI, etc. I have had mine for nearly two years, and it is still going strong. The only downside is that it burns through a rechargeable battery charge in a real hurry in gaming mode.
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

I love my Logitech Marathon m705. It's a basic gaming mouse, not a big deal but the 3200 dpi and 3-year battery rock, perfect for my G55, perfect for FPS.

I had a Logitech LX5 before my G700, and that thing lasted for months on a battery. I could get 7-8 months of pretty heavy use on it without ever turning it off. It just went to sleep and woke right up again. Sadly, it eventually failed, and the transceiver had a 3' cord. 😞

I've heard mixed reviews about all logitech products over the years, some say they are crap others say they are really good. Anyone else have any input?

I was going to ask the same question about choosing a new gaming mouse,, I thinking about one of the Saitek Gaming mice either the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 MMO or the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 Infection or even the Cyborg R.A.T. 9,,, I like the idea of the adjustability, button layout and the look.. The thing is are they Any Good ??. Thanks Heaps..

don't go for the RAT mouse the build quality is cheap. I've used it (rat 3 i believe it was,or 5). I'm an ergonomics freak, so I would go for anything that fits my hand and has a rest place for my pinky. Logitech (so I've heard) isn't so good as it was but I will probably buy my self one anytime soon. I like new ASUS mouse but I'm not sure is the aluminum comfortable as durable (though I'm sure it works amazing).

I've had a couple of the Cyborg mice, The RAT 5 and now the MMO7 and would buy either again. As for build quality they're decent mice unless you go for the cheapest RAT3.
I have arthritis in my hands and the adjustability makes it so much easier to use comfortably. They track really well too on the different mats i've used.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with the MMO 7. I've still not found a use for some buttons lol.
