It's an 80 gram wireless mouse with no detectable difference in lag from a wired mouse not sure why people thought it would be cheap. I'll probably be buying it day 1 even if it is 150 since the hump is shorter than the g403 which is my biggest issue with that mouse. Also has the hero sensor and 60 hours of battery life without lights at 80 grams this is an actual endgame mouse. Logitech quality is also not **** unlike finalmeme.

the issue here is that the G703/G403 wireless, with what we've been told is a more advanced and more expensive sensor (3366) as well as similar quality on everything, cost less on release.

this should "only" be a smaller (and perhaps lower cost?) battery and different shell, so pricing it higher is a little strange, but maybe they've upgraded something else and used different materials, I don't know anything about it other than what's in this thread.

Perhaps it's just the fact that this mouse is so light. Compared to how they normally build a mouse, they might have had to change a lot to get it down to an 80g weight. All of this work is completely wasted for their other mice as it seems "normal" people like heavy mice more. For example their G502 is supposedly a super successful mouse, and it's 120g to 140g. They are probably predicting that just a bunch of weirdos will want this mouse here so it needs to be more expensive than normal to make sense.

The other, slightly evil reason would be: they are predicting that it will take forever for a different manufacturer to be able to copy their work and do a good 80g wireless mouse. Until that happens, they can experiment with the price and try to find the highest one that will still sell. After the mouse starts being available at Amazon, wait for three or four months and then look again at the price. It will drop to something more normal.

Hm, if they are going to charge that much they have just prevented me from getting one to upgrade from my G Pro + paracord. Also, the price won't drop significantly before the end of the year I assume, and then I will have the Astrum.

As for wireless: I get it, but after trying the G305 and comparing it to the G Pro + paracord - honestly, the difference is hardly there. A paracord is that good. And it save you all the recharge trouble, avoids even more WLAN frequencies around me and charges a better performing sensor (subjective, just my feeling).

The shape of it also seems rather....normal. Nothing bad, probably quite the opposite in fact - for most, but I am more into the Astrums Alpha shape.

Yeah, I'll probably pass at that price as well. Might try it out but if unsure about anything it'll be a quick return. Not interested in changeable side buttons or wireless charging, and paracord's just as good as wireless for me.

I thought Sensei shapes were my thing, but I don't like the full size ones, especially not the height. I even went back from the Revel to the 303 because of that. So I guess I should try the FK2 if the 33x6 variant ever shows up. Or the Kinzu if SS ever revisits that one.

yeah not feeling that price at all for something that's essentially a G305 with rechargeable battery and spring tensioning button stuffs and modular side buttons - assuming it's going to be around that much.

astrum might actually be more interesting if the cable is as good as paracord :-(

Black friday is only a bit over 3 months away. Even new logitech products usually end up on heavy discount black friday at least in the US. Even if it releases at 150$ I wouldn't be surprised to see it at 100$ then which is fairly reasonable. Black friday sales are one of the main reason I have so many logitech mice. I don't really like paying 60$ for a standard wired mouse, but every black friday I end up getting some logitech for 25-30$.

$150 just makes no sense to me.
Its the same mouse as the G305 - with a different shell.

The G305 is $59.

I could see $69 - or even $79 for a limited time.
But $150 is an insult, and I won' be buying it, even though I'm a mouse addict and could easily afford it.

Homie don't play like that...

the price is steep for sure... however, i'm in love with my g305, hassle with cords are a thing of the past. but i sorely miss a button on the right side of the mouse. everyone has thumb buttons, but i can't quite use them, as by pressing them i tend to move the mouse slightly to the right. using my ring finger comes more naturally and doesn't throw off my aim. so, i'm quite interested in this wireless g pro with its optional side buttons.
