Logitech G400s Gaming Mouse Unboxing, Review & G400 Comparison


In this video we unbox and review the new Logitech G400s G Series gaming mouse. We also compare it to the previous version the Logitech G400.

You can watch the video directly on YouTube here: Logitech G400s Gaming Mouse Unboxing, Review & G400 Comparison or head past the jump for the embedded version.



We will have to use the mouse longer to see if the special coatings really make a difference.

One thing to note is that after recording this video we started ising the G400s and noticed that the reound DPI button that is just below the mouse wheel (towards the rear of the mouse) didn't seem to work properly.

No amount of fiddling with the software would solve the problem. We'll be taking the mouse back to exchange it for another G400s which hopefully won't have the same defective button. Until then it's back to the old G400.

UPDATE: We returned out original G400s and the new one exhibits the exact same problem of the DPI Up and DPI Down buttons not allowing you to properly use long-presses when mapped to be Middle Mouse buttons.

The mouse wheel click and the second button (with the graphic of the two windows) work perfectly fine for long middle clicking.

I imagine it is the G Series software that is not working properly. My original G400 allows use of the DPI Down and Up buttons to be mapped and used as long middle clicks.

Hopefully Logitech will fix this issue with a future software update. Until then I'll just have to settle for middle mouse clicking with my mouse wheel. Pity too. I really like using the DPI down button for middle mouse click for some things.
