I'm about to place an order for a black logitech G7. I wanted an MX Revolution, but it doesnt look like it would be that great for gaming. Any advice before I place the order?
You can be easily forced to swap batteries twice a day (I swap when the indicator goes to 2/3). If you don't care about wireless, get a G5. The G5 has a matte (paper-like) finish, though. I prefer the glossy finish on the G7.
yea the wireless is a big plus for me so that's why I don't really want the G5. I'm just getting annoyed at having a wire that sometimes gets caught on things.
i never have to swap batteries in the same day.... not even days off where i play BF2 for like 8hrs.
I get about 24-48hrs on a charge, but the lith-ion hotswap packs are great it literally take 1/2 sec to change batteries. I have done it in the middle of playing BF2 and didnt miss a beat.
With icemat, you'll have to replug the usb adaptor everytime you change the battery, or the software won't pick up the surface(Known issue, and logitech says it's not there fault). Also with an icemat my batteries have to be swapped every 6-8hours.
G7 FTW. bought one to accompany my new laptop and i love it. i play bf2, gta, 2142, and a bunch of source games with frequency........it performs great! got mine of amazon for a good price. about battery switching....i just switch out my batteries whenever the one in the charger is done charging [usually at about 2/3 power]. i could go all day though if i really want to.
