Logitech G400

by HIRVI • 7 Aug 2011, 11:22 • Journals
So Logitech published new mouse called G400 some time ago.

I am planning to buy it because it is upgraded version of MX518, same shape, same buttons but with 3600dpi (1800 old) and 1000hz polling rate (old 125 default 500 hz overclocked).

So anyone have any experience with the mouse to tell how big is the difference between this and MX518 and its pros and cons?

Thats why it is more expensive:P

They quitted making MX518 and G5 mouses anyway.

ye but its a laser mouse, heavy, bad shape (too big for normal hands), the laser is not in the middle of the mouse, it's heavier in front comparing to the "back" of the mouse.. etc etc... i have 2 G500 and i hate them.

If you want my opinion my mx518 isnt as powerful as g400 but I wouldn't forget it for another mouse. <3

I have a g400, it's a good mouse.
▼
garf 7 Aug 2011, 12:54
beside the new rate and dpi,the mouse is still glosy like the old version ?

Feels pretty much the same as the mx518 (to hold it I mean).

Just buy it and try it out. You can return it to the store and get your money back if you don't like it. And if not, then either the store or your country sucks.

It costs like 35€ here and we have 15 days to try it or swap with another one or money!

garf 7 Aug 2011, 13:50

I was wrong tho.. 37€ here :D http://www.kuantokusta.pt/1/166975/Logitech-G400-Optical-Gaming-Mouse?kk_s=kk1ps

And as i said, we have 15 days as a test.. if it doesn't work properly we can just go to the shop and get a new one without use the warranty (after 15 days, warranty only for broken thing)... or we can just "trade" with a different thing.. and sometimes get the money back (although most companies are total bitchs and give a "value check" to force us to buy a different thing in their own stores)

It should feel the same because they have not changed shape of the ways in no way.
The surface is little different isn't it?

Ronner 7 Aug 2011, 13:44
That's what I meant with feels the same to hold it. The shape is the same for years and years, but for instance the surface of the mx500 feels different than the G5 or mx518. I like the surface of the mx500 more btw. I might just open up the g400, take it's inner workings and put it in the mx500 housing. The mx510, 518 and g400 have a more slippery surface than the mx500 did.

mx518 is probably one of the best mice out there..
▼
naco 7 Aug 2011, 13:14
if the g400 has:

optical sensor
same shape and buttons as mx518
only difference to mx518 is higher DPI

i'd say you can go for it

HIRVI 7 Aug 2011, 13:39
higher polling rate and programable macro buttons.

would not change back

HIRVI 7 Aug 2011, 13:39
We are talking about g400:D

Thought that it might interest you since I had mx518 (which I loved) too.

You can do with my information what you want :)

I thought that 400dpi were far enough for ET?
▼
Niels 7 Aug 2011, 16:21
It is, the good thing about the g400 is -1000 Hz and it's not fugly
Parent

vib 7 Aug 2011, 16:52

depends on your ingame resolution width - the higher it is, the higher dpi you need to remove pixel-skipping.
most people play with something low or simply with a small screen, so 400 is enough for them

1920*1080 and 400 dpi here

▼
vaGgi 7 Aug 2011, 14:42
3600 dpi are useless anyway
▼
HIRVI 7 Aug 2011, 17:44
Yea but it has 1000hz polling rate as well:)
