A few weeks ago we looked at Logitech’s G700 gaming mouse which was the first of their new range to pass through our labs. It scored well, achieving a performance award and we praised it for being one of the most flexible mice ever. Just as good for...

18 macro "G" keys just like the G15 V1 ; Complete control over backlighting colour ; On the fly macro record button ; 5 simultaneous key press recognition ; Easy to use software ; Built in 3.5mm headphone and mic jack ; Stylish good looks
