Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This mouse is very comfortable to hold. Takes a bit of getting used to if you don't normally prefer lighter/un weighted mice. I enjoy the simple look that doesnt scream 1337 gaming gear.

The only downside to this mouse is that the laser will start losing its consistency around a year. Sadly, my g400 is on its way out.



Cons

The mouse continually connects and disconnects itself. It was mentioned that the cable inside could be shorted. Buy a cheaper mouse with better wiring.

M less than 6 months. Performance less than 1 month. Double clicking, won't hold. Reading the other reviews, i see my own story echoed countless times.

The cursor frequently jumps a few pixels instantaneously, often 100-200 pixels way and sometimes half a screen.

The rest of them seem even crappier or more gimmicky. Piece of junk like all thing's logitech now-a-days.

Price


Retail price was $40-$50 at the time.


Wish this mouse was still available for the price i got it at ($30).

Competitiveness


Bought this in 2011, its now 2018 and its still working like a champ.


This mouse has the best form-factor of any ever created in my opinion.


I paid $35 for the g400 back in 2011, and am not really excited to pony up for the pricier g403.

    I needed another mouse for another computer and tried a new design but it was crap because of too many accidental mouse clicks bad ergonomics were and it ended up breaking

    Afterwards i went for the new logitech g mx518 which supposed to be the true successor of the mouse this g400 was based off of
