Logitech g700 mouse Amazon deal of the day.

[Snowreap]

because my own G700 was an "upgrade" from the G9 (a corded mouse), I've been using the G700 as a corded mouse as well. with the charging cable connected all the time, battery life has been a complete non-issue for me.

the Logitech G602 is supposed to have dramatically improved battery life compared to the G700. so much improved, in fact, that their intention is for you to run it on disposable alkaline batteries -- it doesn't have any kind of charging stand or charging cord at all. I've been considering giving it a try, because it looks like it might be more comfortable to hold (the G700 makes my thumb sore) but I've been unsure whether I'm willing to give up the tilt wheel feature that the G9 and G700 have, but which the G602 does not.

while I like having that feature, in practice it turns out that I almost never actually use it, so I've finally decided to give the G602 a try and find out how it feels. I saw a couple of on-line reviews for it that said it doesn't support macros, but I think the reviewers were just clueless. it looks to me like the G602 not only has support for macros, but it also has Lua scripting support so I'll be able to use the same script that runs my G13 and G510 G-keys to also run my mouse buttons as well (just like on the G9 and G700).

I'm not sure when it will arrive (someone else is placing the order for me) but I'll try to remember to post again with my experiences with it.
