I think i'll go with the G7 though b/c it is proven and the battery swtich is so much more convenient.

What is proven?

I have a G7 "Carbon" mouse, and although I really like it a whole lot, I really miss the second thumb button my MX700 had.

Since I got this mouse through a raffle drawing which didn't cost me a dime, I might get the new revision of the G7 w/ the extra button if I happen to see it in the store.

More likely I'll get an MX Rev. after it falls in price. Or Logitech's next "big thing". Have to wait and see.

My keyboard is a wired IBM model M "clicky" keyboard from 1987. I have no plans to replace that any time soon. ;)

O RLY? Hopefully the battery life will be extended at least a little. That and the button thing are my biggest gripes against it. :S

My batteries last about 2 days, or a day an a half with heavy usage and only take an hour to charge. Since you have two batteries to swap, whats the big deal if one dies?

ARISE YE THREAD FROM YE BOTTOMLESS PIT OF INACTIVENESSNESS.

The batteries on the MXRev last EASY 7 days of heavy use ie 2-3 hours a day gaming use. 14 Days easy for light use, ie web browsing.

The recharge takes stuff all too charge too.

Besides, if you plant it on its charger when your turn your PC off, you should never come close to running out of batt powa.

I just got a MX Revolution as well; pretty much the same life per charge.
The software isn't very good at estimating. D:

I bought my Logitech VX Nano uh... sometime in November? I've been using it upwards of 8 hours a day since then (at work...) and I've only just had to change the batteries. They're not rechargeable ones. Uses two AAA batteries. That's, what? Five months? :D

Beat that battery life! :lol:

My battery lasts about 4-5 days with average use. I don't game nearly as much as I did a year ago : (. I don't turn it off at night like I should because I always forget. This is probably just because I got mine refurbished for like 30 dollars less.

And yes. Thread necro FTW.

I use a Logitech MX1000.


I enjoy games, but I'm hardly good enough to notice whether the wireless is slowing me down or not.

I think the difference would be negligible anyway, especially nowadays.

I've got the Logitech G7, battery power isn't that great. Lasts around 1 day heavy heavy use, 7-9 hours of straight gaming (I go to LANs etc) the battery takes around 4-5 hours to charge so it's not really an issue. Had the mouse for a while now and still going strong.

If I forget to charge then I've got an MX510 and a G5 as backup anyway.
