1600dpi

still not as precise as Razer Boomslang(2100dpi), but looks pretty good, sucks they didn't change the design though, I'd have liked a little move "squared" design, a little fed up with classical oval one

stylewise, i love the dented metalic effect, but im not overly impressed by the organge, i wonder if its worth upgrading from the 510?

I think that orange will light up, that's why it's orange

more about it here on logitech's webby

i want this mouse, ...now to coax someone into buying it for me..

I wonder why do they advertise it as

"Superior grasp
Sculpted thumb support and contoured grip for incredible comfort during even the longest gaming sessions. "

it's the same desigh ffs, nothing changed

also I just red that when you don't use software(which sucks btw, once you install it, it messes up those 2 buttons near scroll wheel) the the 2 buttons above and below a a scroll wheel act as the precision changers, now that is STUPID! cause those 2 buttons are one of the most important buttons in the game, all the buttons are, couldn't they have made it like a combination or something? like click the back or forward buttons that are on the side, hold it, and rotate the scroll wheel(or click those 2 buttons near scroll wheel up or down) up down to change the sensitivity once you are saitsfied let the side button go, is it that hard?

i cant really comment on the drivers until i use them (although from the screenshot they do look a bit bloated tbh) but i can say that in my 11-12 months of using their 510 ive never once had a complaint about using it with or without the drivers, also it wears extremely well, its just as good as when i got it first, as for the ergonomics of the mouse, well if it ain't broke don't fix it, the grip on the mx series is the best i've ever used rivaled only by the intellimouse explorer, i see what your saying bout the drivers though and if it is the case then yeah that would be very annoying

hey btw, while we are at it, take a look at this software

and here's what I mean when I say logitech's software screws up the functions of the 2 buttons mean scroll wheel

the guy really tried to help me, but he didn't quite get what I ment, so I just let it go lol

angelofdeath

what software, i cant see any link in your post
edit://nm can see it now, must have been a browser problem or something

CyberGhost

no it wasn't browser problem i put the code incorrectly

angelofdeath

cool, will that let you use the other three buttons, (above/below wheel) as bindable buttons ingame?

I think yes. You can do tons of things with that software, I used all 5(3 above, 2 on the side) buttons in a game, as different functions like reload and stuff like that
