![]() ![]() Only now is it showing some minor signs of the switches being imperfect and that is hardly noticeable so far. It has a reputation of bad switches from the other reviews. ![]() I think it is because it uses 'Light speed wireless' as the connection rather than bluetooth or wifi. No jumping around or skipping of movement at all, just like the wired mouse. ![]() It uses a different usb dongle which works on a different frequency and higher speed for the radio connection. Splurged on the flagship model of logitech that tracks on glass, also jumpy. I tried a blue tooth optical mouse, jumpy. My mouse 'pad' is the arm of the couch made of a fitted velour type cloth that came with the couch. The only thing that worked accurately was an ancient wired microsoft mouse I had. There was no way to learn where the pointer would end up as it would move, skip, stop, move again, etc while simply moving the mouse either slowly or quickly. I bought this a year ago in the attempt to find a wireless mouse that behaved like a good old fashioned wired mouse.Īll other wireless mice I have tried were very unstable as far as the the pointer lag and intermittent movement goes. I do like the mouse, but there is room for improvement in my book. Except for some reason double-click is in a category of button assignments that doesn't qualify for the mouse memory mode, and according to tech support there's no way to get around that, which is kind of a bummer.Īnyway, that's about it. So no need for G Hub and no need for that annoying pause every time I move my mouse after reading for a few minutes. Basically, instead of communicating constantly with G Hub, you can just have the mouse "remember" its button assignments in a kind of offline mode. I've spoken with tech support at Logitech and there is no way to prevent G Hub from auto sleeping, that's just the way the software is designed, but there is a mouse memory mode. It has this really obnoxious thing where it auto sleeps after like 5-10 minutes of mouse inactivity, so when you move your mouse again it plays a loud ding and for a couple seconds only basic left click and right click work before G Hub wakes up and pushes the custom button assignments into the mouse again. Now, there's no problem assigning a button to double-click, the catch is the G Hub software. I've learned over the years that if I physically double-click the little metal tab under the mouse button fatigues in less than a year and starts doing that annoying double-click when you only clicked once thing, so I always assign a button and use that instead. I've owned many different mice over the years and this is the first one where the wheel was so loose it would constantly drift like that, and I know it's specific to the model because I own 3 of these mice for my various personal and work computers and they all exhibit the same behavior.įinally, I always reassign one of my mouse buttons to double-click. I like the free spinning mode as it's a great way to quickly jump around a long document or web page, but the wheel on this model is very loose and tends to scroll drift the instant you lift your finger off the wheel even if you've stopped the movement several times by gently pressing down on the wheel. Second, there's a button next to the mouse wheel that switches the wheel from free spinning to tensioned mode where the mouse will stop moving as soon as you stop pushing it. That said, I can charge the mouse with a USB cable from <15% to 100% in a couple of hours and a full charge last for weeks even with heavy use so it's not a huge deal, although it might suggest that the rather expensive charging pad isn't really worth the expense. Then I lost the USB dongle in a move so I purchased a replacement mouse, but even though it's recognized and shows up in the Logitech G Hub software, the pad have never charged the mouse since and I have no idea why. That said, I do have a few minor complaints.įirst of all, I bought the charging pad with my mouse and it worked great for about 6 months. It's a little pricey, but it's very responsive across multiple surfaces and feels great in my hand. I'm on my computer for work all day long, so I'm always on the lookout for great accessories that make my life easier, and this mouse is one of them.
