I got the G700 less than a year now (Oct 2011) and I have to admit that I was extremely happy with it, using it daily some 10-12 hours (or more), mainly for productivity tasks (modeling / photo-editing) and ofc casual gaming.
The last month, the mouse has started becoming very picky on surfaces...it will track fine for a session on my dark black desktop, then all of a sudden it will stop. It will work seamlessly switching from wireless to wired mode, but it appears to be "more picky" when wired.
Battery has been replaced already with a new eneloop AA - with other brands tested aswell - and it does the same.
Being frustrated, I bough a steel 4HD mousepad, to check for consistency and whatnot on a surface that supposingly works great with laser sensors...unfortunately the mouse/cursor won't even move a pixel on it. NOTHING. Put a magazine under it, and it works great...
Ofc it wasn't like that when I bought it, and it would track insanely consistently on almost all surfaces - cloth mousepads, light color wooden desk, dark color desk, sheets of paper, sheets of cardboard etc...now its extremly random...Needless to mention that the mouse has virtually no physical wear - if it wasn't for the little scuffs on the teflon feet, you could say it looks brand new, and the sensor slot is spotless - no grind or dust.
Guess the mouse should be heading for replacement weeks now, but I thought I was doing something wrong...
