    Wireless Gaming Mouse G700 - Dented Box

    $99.99 - $48 code logi_g700_22511 = $51.99 with free shipping.

    Dented Box - Dented Box items from Logitech are products whose outer box has been torn, scratched, dented, or has other markings on it. The product itself is guaranteed to be in brand new condition and fully warranted. Sales are limited to quantities on hand. Limit 1 per customer.

    I personally bought a dented box 5.1 logitech surround speaker system for 51 shipped. The box it came in had nothing more than scratches on it and, of course, everything was there.

    Edit: OUT OF STOCK

    I got mine today and I'm not happy with it.

    G9X was a much better fit.

    This is NOT the mouse for you if you're a clawer. It's pretty heavy to claw, too.

    To me, G9X is "the" perfect mouse...

    Heh, I don't think it's worth trading a mouse, since the shipping cost will be 20% of the mouse value (on both our ends) if I were to trade it since we're in different countries :p

    The G700 feels like the G9X loaded with the heaviest weights and I use 0 weights in the G9X :(

    What's that? I've heard that term thrown around. Btw I just bought a G500 in the other thread. If i'm not a clawer (can't wait to find out if I fit the mold LOL :D ) which is the better mouse this or the G500?

    A "clawer" is someone who works with about 1/4 of a mousepad and lifts the mouse 1-2mm off the pad in order to move the cursor across the monitor big distances. The arm is usually stationary ;)

    I should of taken it into consideration, but I didn't think the G700 would weigh more than double of a G9X (without the weights). I also cannot replicate the "perfect" cursor speed (I've tried every setting) that I had on the G9X. G700 is either too slow or too fast, seems the "in between" setting that the G9X has is no longer available.

    I hope you find your perfect mold/mouse because it took me half a dozen lol. Once you find it, though, I suggest you stick with it for life and don't get seduced by new mice with more buttons/features like I did or else you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

    I exchanged a Cyborg R.A.T. 7 for a G700 because I didn't like the feel of the R.A.T. 7.

    My only complaint is I got one that I had to keep Windows Task Manager open because the pre-installed profiles were completely hosed. I had to RMA it, but the replacement has worked like a charm.

    I love the weight and overall feel of the G700.

    There were so many dented boxes they could sell. Unless they started denting un-dented boxes ;)

    I did warn you it was a palm-biased mouse a while back. I wish this offer comes back again. I would so sell my DeathAdder for a well-priced G700.
