I actually own the Logitech G5v2 (aka 2 thumb buttons,blue/black skin) and it's starting to act..my scrollwheel,when rolling down has no problems,but when rolling up it either do nothing or,if moved a bit further on the way for the 2nd roll, it does "2 steps up" instead of 1..then it goes crazy when trying to fix it (that sucks when i play TF2,but seems to happen a lil bit also on exploring the net or the PC)

I was looking at the Logitech's G400,wich has the same shape and all,though the DPI buttons are differently placed,though i rarely use them

in case mentioning another mouse i've got some preferences

-No DPI buttons on the left click (G700,G500) since it'll get in my way sometimes depending of where i click

-2 Thumb buttons (back and forward browsering WITHOUT the software)..no more because they'd be in the way and i dont need so many (G700) or they might have an extra function or also act as back/forward and i dont wanna do 2 steps back or forward with a big thumb click ^^;...

-Shape like my Logitech G5v2 (i have a big hand...G9x is SMALL,i tried it!)

-Wired (since people complains about wireless making random jumps or battery life draining quick)

-Scrollwheel like or similar to the G5v2's,black (not like G700 or G500,people reports problems about em similar to mines,i think)

What do you guys think?..thanks in advance..sorry if i'm specific/picky,but when i get used to a mouse it's a bit hard to change to a different one..Also my G5v2 is +5 years old
 
I owned a G7 V1, I FPS a lot and didn't encounter lag nor battery issues
I then upgraded to a G9x. Good mouse

Now I own a G700 - has enough buttons for my many FPS buttons that I play. Good tracking and software and good middle mouse button. Great tracking compared to my G7.
 
Did you read that i dont like DPI buttons (or any other buttons) on the left click?,G700 has em..and middle mouse button..i tried the Performance MX's mouse and i had to press hard for it to register at a friend's house,so "not that type of wheel"
 
Get the G400. The DPI buttons can be remapped. Although scrolling issues affect all Logitech mice. IME many are DOA, while others take time to break. Fortunately with a new mouse Logitech will offer free replacements.
 
My G5v2 is Laser but the G400 is Optical...is this an improve or a downgrade?...or doesnt matter or something?..i do gaming,yes,but also other stuff,yaknow^^...but guess it wont matter
 
I hear optical tracks fast movements better at low sensitivity (so hardcore fps players might favor it), laser has a higher sensitivity range and I guess it's better if you're using it on random surfaces.

Click to expand...

DPI buttons NEVER get in the way for me and the middle click is so much better than the G series middle clicks (which I hated)
