Judging from the close-up images of each on Logitech's website, the surface looks different. G640 looks more even horizontally and vertically.Originally Posted by qsxcv
i feel the opposite... with g240 i can feel bumps and dips in the rubber back even when used on a glass desk, but with a ~5mm thick allsop raindrop i can't feel anything
is the surface of g640 identical to g240?
Interesting. When someone posts "It's beautiful!" by itself it's usually a reaction from seeing it for the first time, certainly not something anyone would expect from someone who has been using it for several months. If you had mentioned this and provided some feedback on the product along with that comment it wouldn't have come off as shady.Originally Posted by Atavax
Yep, I actually have 2 which is good because my roommate and I are cat sitting, and while it has held up well, if I were to start playing seriously, I'd want to open up the 2nd. Still beautiful.
This is such a horrible post. Where to begin? The shaming because the poster feels the term beautiful is reserved for first impressions or the scorned emotions from keeping information until the product was released?Originally Posted by Derp

Par for the course here.
The product is officially announced now so there's nothing preventing him from commenting on the product. Posters here may not have noticed that someone is posting positively about a product without disclosing that they have in fact owned it for months before release. This is the definition of shill behavior and I don't care how minor it is or how many people get upset about it.Originally Posted by SmashTV

Over par for the course.
That's not a shill response at all. You can easily be 100% satisfied and hyped about a product that you received for free while being completely honest. Toss that sentence in with a "so far" or "I will try to comment on the durability in the future. If I forget, toss me a pm". If you're not interested in PM spam then your initial post could have been " I have one and it's beautiful".Originally Posted by Atavax
If I had replied with the mouspad is great, its very durable, mine looks practically new after months of use, so much better than the qck that started fraying after only a month or two. While technically true, that would of been shill behavior imo.
How does it compare to a QCK with it's texture/friction?Originally Posted by Atavax
Feedback on the mousepad is premature, the main thing you would feedback on is durability, which I feel is premature because I haven't owned it for very long, that it is still in good condition isn't saying much, especially because my gaming has been light as of late. I also don't have any of my other mouspads with me to directly compare the speed of the mouspad to.

It's beautiful, was meant to just be a general acknowledgement that the mouspad fit the basic criteria of what this board seems to like, large cloth pads with no logo in the center, from a company that previously had not offered such a product to us. Like if a company releases a lightweight mouse with a high end sensor, whose ergonomics don't look like an abortion.
I haven't used a qck in years, but the g640 seems faster/slicker then what I recall the qck to have been. Pretty sure it's faster than my puretrak talent and that the talent is faster than my hayate and my hayate faster than the qck. But my memory may not be perfect.Originally Posted by Cloudy

He's already shortly commented on the product, but obviously not up to your standards.Originally Posted by Derp

People come here looking for facts and honest opinions. You are free to use the this forum's ignore feature. Take your blue pill and have a nice day.
His first comment was "It's beautiful!". That's it, nothing else added which is the entire point. Any kind of comments about the pad were posted after I asked about him having owned the pad for months. Again, he did NOT share this fact in his first postOriginally Posted by SmashTV
Shill behavior isn't just a matter of not disclosing prior agreements to review/analyze a product form the company. Pre-release ownership does not count as being a shill no matter how hard you spin it. In fact, the poster already refused comparing it to other pads to avoid looking like a shill. The difference? The potential misleading aspect. That is what makes a shill a shill.
Lastly, he gave what is presumably his honest opinion. If the threat of shills/terrorists is that distracting to your forum browsing then perhaps you should use the ignore feature.
I for one am happy someone who owns it puts their two cents in on both the good and bad.
Ok, let's use that definition, we can argue over what qualifies as being an accomplice. First problem is you have to interpet a 2 word post as a serious attempt to entice people to buy the product. 2nd problem is for me to act like an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others, I can't legitimately be an enthusiastic customer right?Originally Posted by Derp
You should really freshen up on your definition of the term shill. Just google the word and you can find the exact reason why I have a problem with this. No need to go into the various types.
"an accomplice who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."
Lets just stick with the facts instead of avoiding them. You made a positive comment about a newly announced product that actual consumers do not have access to yet without disclosing the fact that you have owned that product for months. It's really that simple. As for the rest of this, as I said before, a "receiver of free swag" can be completely hyped and like everything about a product while still remaining honest.Originally Posted by Atavax

This is not an excuse. It's not a reader's job to scan the web for those past posts. You should always disclose that fact.Originally Posted by Atavax
3rd, its not like I haven't disclosed in the past that I have received free Logitech and Razer gear. That I have to say in my first post about a product that I got it early or I'm a shill, when I've previously disclosed I get free gear from them, and in my 2nd post I clarify that I did get it early is silly. Especially when the first post was 2 words, it was a quick, casual post.
It shows fine after clicking the "original" button.Originally Posted by RDno1
EDIT: The MouseTester graph doesn't display properly for me, do you have the same problem? It's an xvelocity graph and goes up to about 4 m/s if you were wondering.
