Can anyone explain to me why Logitech think they can get away with offering a "budget" gaming mouse for £35 (G100s) and an optical gaming mouse for £50 (G400s)..?

I just don't get it. You can pick up a laser gaming mouse for <£50, and a budget gaming mouse for <£20, easily.

What makes the new Logitech mice so good that they are worth the huge premium..?

"Delta Zero sensor technology" = ???
 
Logitech = awesome sauce

Proud owner of no less than 3 MX518s. One went back to Logi as a warranty job (actually, they settled for a pic of me cutting the USB cord, I then sent pics of hammer action, which the CS guys "lol'd" at :D). I like the mouse that much I bought another to keep as a hot spare, and then another when I heard they were EOLing the 518 :o
 
Optical is superior to laser so it makes sense that it's more expensive. Why do people seem to think laser is better?

The G400 is one of the very few "flawless" mice you can buy and Logitech know this.
 
Demand dictates the price. If they weren't selling, they'd have to look at the pricing. As it stands, I wouldn't really consider another brand for keyboards and mice. It would have to be some convincing alternative.

:eek: I'm a Logitech fanboi :o :eek:

Again, marketing nonsense. Does the same damn thing. LOL at 'Delta Zero Sensor bla bla bla blab'. Get yourself a ten quid mouse. Does the same damn thing.

What's the point in posting in the "gaming peripherals" section if you're going to write off every single gaming peripheral and just say "yeah whatever, get a £10 cheapo mouse"? I really don't see how you're helping here.

I just bought a £15 gaming mouse from the sale (Gigabyte one) to replace a G400, but it handles like **** (move mouse right and mouse cursor goes up + right). Also you can only adjust the dpi in intervals of 400.
it's also nowhere near as comfortable to grip.

so yeah bargain mice ain't all that useful.
 
I like Logitech but the current range seems ridiculous.

I was helping a friend choose a mouse for gaming, not Pro but nothing cheapo break in 5 minutes. First thing I thought was "Let's go for Logitech, sound quality/CS and good range"

To my surprise Logitech (at least on OcUK) have a HUGE gap in their line up. There is no mid-range unit, it's either super cheap or expensive. By the time you are spending the £££ on the mice worth buying with Logitech you might as well go the extra few quid and get a premium product from another brand.

well the 100s @ £35 is advertised as their "budget" mouse :DD says it all really.
 
They still haven't bettered the G7...best mouse ever by a mile.

Actually if they made a new wireless mouse in the G400 shape, it would be "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" and for a lot of other people I'm sure.
