    I currently have the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum and while it is a great mouse, this is very tempting especially with that charging mousepad

    Almost as you are forced to use the charging mousepad due proprietary compatibility. I like options! Not be forced on.

    Doesn't look like the mouse pad is required, just supported. Still, the pair would go nice together. My old MX1000 would last for days, a week maybe, on a charge until the battery got old. Then I just changed out the battery (my Kodak camera used the same type) and kept on going. Finally wore out the buttons on it, bought another one from ebay (used) and made a good mouse out of parts from both. Finally had to give it up when the sensor started going out. I think I got at least 10 years out of it. Haven't used a wireless mouse since (for gaming).

    Maybe I used somewhat wrong words. But you pay for that mousepad (included in the premium price). Would be better if you could get the mouse to an better price. Then you later could test the pad and pay for it if you liked it. If you hate that mousepad. .. = Money down the drain if you want or purchased that mouse!

    The G pro wireless with power play is a better combination.

    You are right about that. Wouldn't be a bad price for the combo at all. Otherwise yeah high prices for both IF you like them. I could see playing with the mouse in a store but the pad might be harder to test out. Good reviews needed.

    I still use my +10 year old mousepad. Have purchased newer (so called high end at high cost)... Went back to the old (1030 Surface) :D Reviews is so much... Not all fits you :)

    There must be many little Androids living inside the textures of your mousepad :eek:

    No, the problems been discussed MASSIVELY on the logitech forums.
    The chinese blue microswitch omrons in the G903 are much lower quality (Despite being rated for more presses) than the ones in the g900. The G502 uses the same ones in the g900 afaik.

    Maybe after enough chatter they will release an updated version with different switches. Spending a little money to rectify the situation now could save them a lot down the road if this mouse sells well.

    I have the G903 (Since 2017, no issues so far), other than the wireless charging mat you won’t gain anything else over the G900. From reviews of the mat, I’ve heard it’s pretty fragile slight bending can damage the coils. Additionally I mean USB charging while idling/down time should take care of having charge while gaming, lasts me at about a week per charge (I disable the lighting and use 500 MHz polling) , of course less for those whose spend entire days just gaming :). Plus the mat itself is overpriced.

    I am....tempted, to say the least.
    Seems like a worthy upgrade from my trusty G502

    Does Logitech make any wireless gaming mice that have the option to turn on hyper fast scrolling?

    I want hyper scrolling when not gaming but I don't feel like using two different mice.

    Thank you. You'd think other mouse makers would do the same thing. Once you have a mouse with this option, it's impossible to use anything else.
