Today we’re looking at the Logitech G700S, a hybrid gaming mouse that works both wirelessly (via a 2.4GHz dongle) or via a standard micro USB cable. The mouse also boasts a heaping helping of programmable buttons, a dual-mode scroll wheel and a high DPI laser sensor. It looks like an impressive rodent, but how does it actually perform? We’ve got one from the friendly folks at Ebuyer, so let’s test it out! Onboard memory profiles: Configure your mouse once, use it across multiple PCs with 3 different profiles for individual players or games. Intuitive shape and design: Individually sculpted buttons easily identifiable by touch; natural curves mean comfortable control. After installing and/or updating Logitech Options on macOS Mojave or later, macOS requires user permission to be set. Please follow these steps.

Windows only — try a different USB port. If it makes a difference, try updating the motherboard USB chipset driver. The front of the mouse contains a micro USB port, allowing a cable to be connected and the mouse to be charged. This is also how the G700S is used as a wired mouse.The biggest change is that the G700 is able to work in either wired or wireless modes in a similar fashion to Razer’s Mamba. The separate wireless receiver is tiny and once fitted into any rarely used USB 2 port instantly connects the mouse. There's a power switch on the bottom of the mosue to save battery power. Use the sliders to adjust speed and SmartShift sensitivity. You can also change the direction of the scroll and thumb wheel, and set the scroll wheel to Ratchet or Freespin: NOTE: If you have the G700s plugged directly into your computer using the USB cable, you must remove the cable now to properly complete the reconnection procedure.

In addition to using the control wheel for scrolling, you can also assign functions to it, just as with any other button. For example, if you assign the action “Close window”, when you press the scroll wheel, the current window will close. The default setting for the control wheel is Middle button. Navigate to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\LGHUB, where [USERNAME] will be specific to your account. The right side is quite blank, with no buttons of any kind – just a grippy finish that makes it easier to scoot the mouse around rapidly without losing control. The G700S immediately distinguishes itself with a curved design, sculpted to suit right-handed mousers. The mouse makes use of different material in different zones, resulting in a mouse that is easy to grip and comfortable to wield. The mouse is quite weighty compared to wired mice, thanks to the batteries and added complexity. Plug-and-forget nano receiver: Wireless connects using tiny USB receiver, which can be stored inside the battery compartment when it’s not in use.

The mouse is a little heavier than a purely wired option, thanks to the internal battery and radios and so forth. This makes the mouse require more effort to push around, particularly at low sensitivity settings, but isn’t too draining. Lifting the mouse is also a little harder, and as such better the mouse better suits gamers who use higher sensitivity settings.
