Finally a good solid one from Logitech.

I've been patiently waiting for a gaming mouse that I could use without making adjustments to how I currently handle a mouse.

There's been so little news on the G3 I didn't even know it was out. It looks like a crazy nice upgrade from my MX300.

[Edit] It's not out! HAha.

I want reviews!

hey its almost as expensive as the g5 laser at msrp and the g5 has the weights, and a better grip. I don't think this is too much to fuss about. If you're a lefty its good tho

You make a good point. If they don't lower the price this won't sell well. I believe a similar problem plagued the MX300 that I got, because it was discontinued pretty early on in its life.

If they dropped the price down to MSRP $40, I would consider getting it. $60 is still far too much.

I completely agree.

When and if this thing catches on...I'm sure the price will drop.

That's pretty neat. Looks like Logitech is really gunning for Razer's marketshare now.

I have to say, it would be kind of nice to have a mouse with that shape and SetPoint. I don't like the small buttons and narrow wheel, though.

I'm betting it will sell for around $45 because things like this rarely sell at MSRP. The G7 is supposed to be $100 but can be had for $65 at Newegg.

 

[dds14u]

Still can't find any news on a release date for this thing...

I wish I hadn't ever found out about it.

Excellent! Well made, very popular and reliable.

I dunno, the only thing Logitech might have over Razer would be comfort, of which I find their mouse designs to tend to be a bit more ergonomic - although that's a possible downside because they're not symmetrical and thus poor for lefties - and it isn't so bad because my Razer forces me to hold and move it with my fingers as opposed to wanting to grip it with my palm and all. That and Razer doesn't offer any wireless solutions.

i wish they would bring abck mx518 in difff colors or else make the sensitivity buttons same (aka one above mouse wheel and one below)

Ergonomics is more than comfort, it's also usability.
I remember reading how almost every razer's side buttons are easy to accidentally press.
The placement of the G3's sidebuttons is much better (I have an MX300 for comparison). Since most people hold their thumbs near the bottom of the mice, the G3 has buttons that are more near the top so that you don't accidentally press them when you're gripping the mouse.

But who knows, we'll have to wait till they're in stores.

why do they keep doing ugly patterns on their gaming mice? I forget which it is, but there's one that looks like it's had a hammer taken to it.

It's all a part of staying ahead in the game. They've already gone through all the typical colors for a mono-toned mouse...namely black, white and silver. Then they went on through the two-toned mice, black and white, or black and silver or silver and white etc.

They only thing left to do was crazy patterns in crazy colors.
