What is it that makes this mouse over $700? I do not see anything in the description that would warrant a price over $50

Yeah, no idea why the price shot up to unreasonable. I'm guessing they stopped making them and Amazon's auto-price thingy went into overdrive when the stock went low. They used to be like 17$. And for 17$, it is a damn good mouse. I've bought two prior to the insane price jump.

I bought mine here at Amazon for about 17 dollars. Where are you getting 700, it's absurd.

I bought that same mouse and I really like it. I'm not a mouse expert, but I game with it and haven't been disappointed with it at all. I've had mine for about 7 months or so.

There is no known software for this mouse. No CD came in the box. If you research it a lot you may find one in Chinese, since this originated from China somewhere (As per reviews I looked up before purchasing) works perfectly fine on Windows 7 64 bit.

This model is not a new product. It's been around for a decade or more. However, the mouse I received was brand new. It has been a couple of years since I received it, so I don't recall the packaging.

No this mouse is utter rubbish. It claims to be high quality but it is one of the cheapest built mice I have ever used. The aluminum is actually painted plastic, the buttons squeak, and the scroll wheel does not have any options aside from colored lights. I tried this mouse twice through amazon. I sent the first one back thinking what I got was a dud, but nope its just that bad. I traded it for a Corsair m65 and it is much better. I have also used a RAT7 and they are much better. Honestly, anything from Logitech is better too.

No. People are trying to make easy money over-hyping something that is still available for nearly the same price it was released years ago. They discontinued the mouse, but it is NOT that rare yet, and CERTAINLY not worth 200 dollars.

Thanks, here it is a site that has the last driver as I just find out. It is a genuine website, not like all others sending you around the bushes.Do you know by any chance what's the major difference between an optical mouse and a laser one (beside the price)?As far as I know, it is about the surface they are used, the optical being able to navigate on about everything.ThanksDan

I'm curious myself... In a world where one could buy a cordless keyboard AND mouse for less then $50, it seems a bit ludicrous that this thing costs $169.99

I got a mouse that says 1600 dpi? It too only has 3 clicks for DPI? It also came in a clear plastic bag and not a nice box like the ones on youtube?

There is a 2 year limited warranty on all mice. Assuming it its new when sold.

The g700 is better for longer gaming time frames, but I really like the button placement on this mouse and it does take about 3 weeks to really get used to it to use it for long periods of time.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

I use it for shooters all the time, even competitively. I don't have a problem with it but for the mouse I never have before so take that for what it's worth. As you can see in my review, Almost all my problems with mice are physical in nature, such as when a button stops working, is placed inconveniently, or when the cursor jumps around. Anyway, from what I understand the Deathadder (Or whatever the logitech equivalent of it is) is more suited for shooters. For me personally, this seems fine though. It has adjustable DPI for the snipers out there that use that, but I haven't made use of it yet.Sorry for the slow reply - I forgot I changed my email =/ I use it for shooters all the time, even competitively.

As far as I have been able to find out with light research, Logitech is probably trying to get more money for the same product just different color and call it a special. I doubt the cost is actually increased or any real reason beyond that.I personally wouldn't want a white mouse though, simply because black hides dirt and grime better. But a white mouse would probably prompt more frequent cleanings.

You can get them on eBay for $30 to $35,used, in seemingly nice condition. I have had three M570s. All started off great but within a year or two, the cursor would periodically stop moving. I had to smack the mouse on my desk to get it going again. Tech support could not resolve the issue. Just bought the corded version so will hopefully be more reliable.

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?
