Customer Review: Logitech G3
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe the G3 is the best ambidextrous, wired, laser mouse on the market. The G3 is replacing a 6-years-old MS Intellimouse. Comparison between G3 laser and Intellimouse optical:
* G3 is smaller and easier to lift thanks to the DryGrip side surface. The small size of the G3 is not ideal for people with large hands or those who prefer a bigger-sized mouse.
* G3 weighs slightly less.
* G3 left and right buttons requires more force to click. This is a good thing because often with the Intellimouse, resting my finger on the buttons would result in accidental clicking. The Intellimouse buttons, I think, are too loose/sensitive.
* G3 side buttons are quieter to click. It is also smaller, so less chance of accidental clicks.
* G3 scroll wheel takes more force to scroll. The Intellimouse iwas way too loose. I prefer the G3 for more precise scrolling.
* G3 middle button takes more force to click. This is also preferable to the Intellimouse because I often accidentally clicked the middle button while scrolling--another example of a button on the Intellimouse that is too loose/sensitive.
* Both provide smooth and accurate/precise tracking on most surfaces.
* Intellimouse has tracking problems when using the mouse over a white-top table. G3 has no problems.
* G3 cord is longer.
* Both are comfortable to use with either left or right hand. I'm left-handed but sometimes use my right hand to control the mouse.
* G3 has no annoying red glow.
The MS Intellimouse I have suffers from the dreaded 'double-click' problem where a single click registers as a double click. The problem started one month into ownership and I lived with it for 6 years. A small percentage of Microsoft mice have this problem. It may be the contacts are bad/cheap. This also made dragging and dropping a problem or anytime you had to hold the left button down for more than a couple seconds. The Intellimouse is also peeling from normal wear and tear and/or from me digging into the mouse with my nails.
The G3 is made for gaming but is very good for daily use. I didn't bother installing the Setpoint software. Windows XP had no problem detecting the mouse. Debian 4.0 had no problems either and I didn't have to modify xorg.conf even though the previous mouse was plugged to a PS/2 port and the new mouse is plugged into a USB port. Without the Setpoint software, the G3 defaults to 800 dpi on start-up, so you will need to click the top button after each boot for 1600 dpi setting.
All-in-all, the G3 is a worthwhile upgrade from the Intellimouse optical mouse.
