Is it as good as other Logitech mice? It's cheaper than a Razer and I'm sure it doesn't break down as easily, as it is customary for Logitech. Does it scream quality and reliability? I'd rather hear this from a user, not a review.

Both the G400 and the G502 are the perfect mouses. G400 if you're not into customizable keys and G502 if you're into them with a "futuristic look"
It'll be really easy/short to get used to the G400's shape. However, the G502 has these black piano looking parts like tiny space between the mated mouse holding feeling.
Price?, G400. Looks and Customization?, G502. No probs so far with both.

I still rather have my G502 than that one
Pro's vs the budget version:
-Weights
-Profile switch button
-thumb button for DPI switch smaller and more back (and yet i already press it like this by accident quite often, imagine on the 402)
-12.000 dpi vs 4000
And prolly some other stuff that i'm overlooking.
It's defo better to get 502 over 402 if you have a little extra spare money.

Mine's set to only 1 setting in 1000 DPI for PC / Gaming... Above that makes me feel dizzy aka "Where's the mouse..?". I mean,higher DPI = Mouse tells you goodbye while going offscreen!

12000 dpi? o.O
Does anyone actually even use more than 3000?
*raises hand*
5700 DPI on my G500. Unless a game is shit at doesn't let you adjust sensitivity properly, then I drop to 3600 or so.
I don't get why people are so afraid of higher DPI levels. If you don't adjust your sensitivity it'll go nuts, but that's the whole point of it. That's also why I hate games that don't let you go low enough.

I guess it depends on the resolution. For 1080 I feel that default windows setting + 1500dpi/cpi is good enough. I used to have it around 2000-2500 on my old G9x but since then I've used lower settings. Also, while gaming mine is around 1k cpi.
400dpi, 3,5 sens in cs go = 15cm/180°
800dpi, 19% sens and 83% zoom sens in bf4 = 7.5cm/180° while hipfiring and 15cm/180° while ads
I could double the dpi and lower the sensibility but there's no real reason for that
Still using the imperator, ALL the microswitches stopped working (first imperator version so they all were TTC) replaced them with a4tech ones except for the side buttons where i couldnt find microswitches that small
What can i say.. fk razer, i'm gonna go with roccat kone pure military for my next mouse whenever i get the money for it, had the xtd model and it was excellent except for the size
for anyone interested
"Raising the DPI is completely against the logic of performance"
I currently have G400 and I'm looking for wireless mouse (and keyboard) to use when playing via my TV, thinking about some M510 or 710 (whats the real difference) and some relatively small keyboard (normal arrow keys, 1-0 numbers and F keys, dont care much about numeric keyboard and any multimedia bullshit keys, I dont use them anyway).
Thing is, the mouse and keyboard will be basically 99% for gaming, for normal work/internet related stuff I will use that G400 and standard kb. For most of games I have both wired and wireless gamepad(s), I'm not a ms/delays nazi nor do I play serious competitive games but it would be nice if the mouse wouldnt annoy me while playing fpp games, singleplayer or multi - and if I'm playing mp fpp games its only just for fun on some mid-range skill level, nothing serious like clans/leagues etc.

Any advices?
well i can't tell u which wireless mouse is good because i'm still on my old g5 but i got a wireless keyboard.
so it's a logitech k270 and im using it for like 1 1/2 years now. never had problems with it, no connection problems and never had to change the battery till now. (using it every day...)
it's also not to big not to small and has a standard layout.
maybe there is already a successor but i would buy it anytime again. honestly when i bought it i thought it's gonna be crap because of wireless but i still wanted to test it and i was not disappointed.
ofc i can control everything with my mobile phone from the sofa or bed but it's still good to have a wireless keyboard for like browsing on the tv.
also as far as i know the wireless usb adapter from logitech is for all devices u use. so u can use it for this keyboard and probably also for a future logitech wireless mouse u will buy.
My MX518 finally started giving up the ghost, clicking was sporadic, the feet had worn away, the mouse wheel was on its way out and it just didn't feel great any more I had originally lined up a Razer Ouroboros but the seller never got back to me (apparently a common thing with buying/selling stuff in Norway, seems most people just aren't all that fussed about it so they often just go quiet and it fizzles out) so I started looking around for something a little different... when my wife sprung a surprise on me; an E-Blue Mazer II wireless mouse.
I'll just wait for everyone to settle down and the laughter to subside.

Done? Okay... there's this; it's actually a pretty damned impressive mouse so far. The sensitivity is great, the feel in my hand is comfortable, the thumb buttons are easily reachable (more so than my 518 even) and the overall feel and performance seems to be very good indeed. Wireless is flawless, no strange drops, no lack of focus and it feels just as nippy and responsive as my wired 518 did. I'll have to really put it through its paces, gaming wise, over the next few days.. but right now I'm thoroughly impressed and the price was shocking too, less than twenty quid.
It's not QUITE as bright as that, but yeah... pretty friggin' bright Luckily you can turn it off to save your eyesight AND your batteries
~edit~
With lights turned on and constant every-second usage (because I'm never off the PC, heh...) a pair of 3000mAh batteries lasted just over 14 hours. That's very not bad. I reckon with lights disabled I'd get double that, so I'll always have 4 rechargeable batteries at once; 2 in the charger and 2 in the mouse.

I'm looking for a quality mouse. One of the features it needs to have is a button that I can dedicate to be a double click button, and I like the free scroll mode of the Logitech mouse (comes in handy when you have 10k+ css or js files ).
G502 seems like a great fit, has all the extra buttons, and free scroll. At work I have MX512, and while it's a great mouse (I've set up my double click button to be the one that is usually for lowering down the dpi), it doesn't have a free scroll mode :\

i have it. it's a fucking ugly mouse but it was the only real option coming from a g5.
it's just laying perfect in my hand, the extra buttons are at the right spots and i love free scroll.
so if you don't mind the ugly design go for it
Got myself one of thoes qck cloth black mousepads.
my g400 slides perfectly on it... just one question
I've always had those wrist resting mousepads... now that I have a flat one, I am not sure where do I keep my wrist ? Is it on the mousepad or move it a bit further and keep wrist on the desk ? Why did I bought this

I got tired of having tiny mouse mats that eventually ended up either fraying or losing rigidity and bending upwards thanks to my wrist movements all the time, so I bought one of those Razer Goliathus "desk" mats instead, goes under my keyboard, my mouse *and* my wrists/arms. I much it this way, not only does it have a braided edge to keep from bending but it's also a lot more comfortable.
Personally? I'd recommend any mat that goes UNDER your wrist, rather than your wrist being outside it and constantly scuffing against the edges.
I got G602 few months ago. My first wireless mouse and coming from a long line of premium wired gaming mice I didn't notice any lag or delays. I use only 1 battery to make it lighter and it still lasts a looong time and I always have it on performance mode at 500Hz polling rate. Still on my second battery that came with the mouse months ago
I think it's a near perfect mouse, finally no more wires to get in a way and so easy to move it between pc desk and hdtv

Also I can see that the free scroll button will come in handy when going through tons of lines of code
