Review after 1 year of use exactly.
The best mouse you can buy. I really haven't found a single flaw or something that I don't personally like about this mouse. Let's go into detail:
- The build quality is truly incredible. I've had the mouse for 1 year with heavy use, 3-4 hours or more daily, and it still feels like new. The rubber grips on the sides haven't worn out at all and still have their texture.
- It fits perfectly in the hand. Personally, I have relatively small palms for a man, but it still feels perfect, just the way I would want it. If you have large or heavy hands, I believe it will fit even better. The dimensions of the mouse are height: 132 mm, width: 75mm, depth: 40 mm. Overall, it's quite large and covers the entire palm. If you are someone who holds the mouse with your fingers bent upwards, then you won't have a problem because the side grips are very large.
- The sensor is of very high quality, offering 400+ IPS across the entire range of 100 - 16,000 DPI, with zero smoothing, filtering, or acceleration. Personally, I play at 800 dpi. It also works even on a glass desk without a mousepad, which I found incredible at first. From the ghub program, the dpi can go up to 25,600. I don't see the reason for needing this feature, I'm just mentioning it. The maximum acceleration is > 40 G according to Logitech.
- The report rate can be set up to the funny number of 125 reports per second through ghub if you are very demanding, especially in FPS games. Personally, I have left it at 1000 because I don't play FPS games that much where this feature is particularly useful (you can set it to 1000-500-250-125).
- The 11 buttons it has are fully programmable, not just for games. For example, I have set one of the side buttons to open a new tab in Chrome and the other to go to the desktop. Also, when I have a specific program open, the buttons change functionality based on the program if you have set them up that way. For example, when I open Blender, I have set one button to switch to rendered view, etc., while I have set the scroll wheel to change the orientation on the y-axis of the object when I scroll it to the right. If you play FPS games like Warzone, which have many weapons and sometimes require very low dpi for accuracy, it has a button on the thumb that, when pressed, lowers the dpi to 400 (which is what I have set, but you can set it to 100 if you want), so when the enemy is far away, you can have great accuracy. At first, I thought I wouldn't use such gimmicks, but I actually really like it as a feature. The main buttons, i.e., the clicks and the scroll wheel, are rated for 50 million clicks.
- The scroll wheel has a button that allows you to release it to scroll freely, and if you have a huge document with code, it is very easy to quickly go to the line you want. I wouldn't say I use it that much for the web, but it can be useful for you. Also, I have set it so that when I press it to the left, it goes to the right tab of the code or the tab in Chrome, and vice versa.
- The package includes five 3.6-gram weights, allowing you to adjust the weight of the mouse to your liking, forward, backward, left, right, and center. It's already very good without any weights, but if you want it a bit more sturdy, I would recommend putting them on the right and left. Without weights, the mouse weighs a satisfactory 121 grams. And I say satisfactory because other mice don't even have a button and weigh 110 grams. However, it is not the lightest mouse out there, and that's why it is recommended for professional use. Personally, the weight seems just right to me.
-Logitech claims that the feet on the Logitech G240 mousepad can withstand over 250 kilometers. I don't know how many I've done, but I don't use a mousepad and the feet haven't worn out significantly, they just lost a bit of their texture since I got it. I plan on getting a mousepad soon so they don't wear out. I would recommend getting a mousepad along with the purchase to prevent them from losing their texture. (Not that anything has changed, but still)
-The cable is made of fabric fibers and has a strap to tie it somewhere if you want. It hasn't had any issues so far. The cable is about 2.10 meters long. Overall, it doesn't tangle and doesn't exert force on the mouse when it's at an angle.
-For lighting, you can set a different logo color and a different color for the lines that indicate the DPI level you're on. I set it up so that when all 3 lines are lit, I'm at 800 DPI, which I usually use to make it look nice. You can also add various effects, have it respond to sound intensity, or take on the color of a specific part of the screen that you define. Overall, it's very beautiful and as it should be. Some games work with the mouse and change the lighting automatically depending on what you're doing in the game. For example, in Overwatch, if you choose Genji, it turns green, and in Factorio, it turns orange. If you want, you can turn it off completely or set it to turn on only when playing specific games or programs. If you're AFK for a while (I haven't figured out how long), it turns off on its own and turns back on when you move the mouse.
-I haven't encountered any problems with the ghub software, and I really like it. It's user-friendly and easy to learn. If you don't want it running constantly on your PC, you can save your settings in the mouse's onboard memory and completely close it. That way, you only open it if you want to change something later. Personally, I have it open. If you plug the mouse into another PC, it retains the settings even if the PC doesn't have ghub installed. Its memory can store 5 profiles. I use 2, one for regular use and one for FPS games where I've set it to increase the report rate and slightly lower the DPI. If you have any issues with the software, simply save the settings to the onboard memory, and you're good to go. Although personally, installation went smoothly, and I've installed it 2-3 times due to formatting, and nothing has gone wrong, at least for me.
-Now, as for noise, the mouse generally doesn't belong to the quiet category. The clicks have a very nice feel and I would say they are very clicky. It's a bit on the noisy side, meaning it has that characteristic click noise, although it can't be heard beyond about 5-8 meters, so it's not audible in the next room, obviously. However, if your PC is right next to someone who is sleeping and you spam click like crazy, it will likely bother them. The scroll wheel also makes some noise when it's not free, although its sound is a bit deeper, but when it's free, it's completely silent. Overall, if you're looking for something generally quiet, this is definitely not it.
-It works fine on consoles, although Logitech doesn't officially declare it. Anyway, if you set the settings on the PC through ghub and save them on the mouse, it keeps them on the console. Now, what happens with the report rate on consoles, I have no idea.
- If you don't pay attention to it, like all mice, it can collect some dust in the grooves and feet. It cleans perfectly with a brush or brush anyway.
If something comes up in the future, I will update the review.
At the price it is, buy it without hesitation, guys, don't even think about it.
Update 25/5/2021
The mouse is still like new, it has not had any problems at all so far. The new update on Logitech G HUB has made macro creation very easy, and you can also set timers if you want and assign the macros to the default mouse buttons. I consider it a very useful feature.
Update 17/2022
The mouse is still functioning flawlessly and I am very satisfied. The clicks are the same, nothing has changed since I got it, and I haven't encountered any problems. There have been some updates on ghub mainly aimed at fixing bugs, but nothing new has been added for the mouse, it runs perfectly.
