Review on Logitech G G603 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse, Black by Stanislaw Szczesny ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

It's probably one of the few wireless gaming mice that uses regular AA batteries and doesn't require charging every two days, making it one of the rare options. This mouse is almost ideal in terms of its traits and capabilities (see advantages), but problems arose in unexpected places (see disadvantages). The unexpected problems are discussed in the next section. Got pros: Excellent sensor, placement that is both accurate and quick. Powered by one or two AA batteries, with a gaming mode that can run for weeks and a low power mode that can last for almost a year. It is possible to work through the receiver as well as through Bluetooth at the same time. The scrolling functionality of the mouse wheel isn't very reliable, which is a con. When scrolling down, for instance, a web page, it will frequently go in the opposite direction, or it will flicker and then stop moving altogether. It was announced today that a new firmware version 8.5.26 will "Fix intermittent scrolling issues experienced on some G603 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mice." However, the issue has not been resolved; the bug is still present, but it manifests itself somewhat less frequently and with a less pronounced impact. I did not wait for a response from Logitech support, so I went to another store and purchased the exact same mouse there. I then returned the first mouse to the store where I got it. The wheel rotates normally in the new instance, but it is obviously different: while scrolling up, it sometimes "rumbles," and it is pressed with a smaller amplitude and more abruptly. PS after six months: After the next firmware update, which brought the version number to 8.6.28, scrolling problems started up again. These issues are not as severe as the ones in the prior mouse, so it is possible to use it; but, after experiencing hemorrhoids with the previous mouse, these issues are very unpleasant. Once more, I've reconsidered my position, and from now on I won't recommend that anyone interact with this mouse because nerves are more expensive.
