To begin, I must confess that I have sat at my desk for far too many hours, gaming mouse in hand, trying to find the sweet spot between comfort and accuracy. I was interested in the Logitech G400s ($59.99) when I saw it since it was targeted towards first-person shooter lovers like myself and promised good performance without any unnecessary frills. Is it, however, durable? Okay, let’s kick things off.

    Logitech G400s Optical Design: Understated, Yet Intelligent

    Once you take the G400s out of its packaging, you’ll see that its only purpose is not to be a beauty queen. In contrast to the flashy Roccat Kone XTD, this mouse prefers to maintain a modest profile. There are no RGB rave lights here; the black body with subtle gray accents is like a stealthy ninja of gaming hardware. That hydrophobic covering, though? A mastermind. My hands were dry and comfortable after a long BioShock session, and the thumb rest’s matte texture provided good traction. This mouse isn’t as comfortable as my favorite, the sandpaper-like Corsair M65, but it still manages to get the job done.

    Just one problem? The mass—or absence thereof. It was as light as a feather when I ran it over my mousepad; it weighed just 4.8 ounces. While its ease of use may appeal to some, I longed for the substantial feel of adjustable weights, particularly for those CS:GO flick shots that need precision and control. Get ready to be let down, left-handed gamers: this mouse is designed only for right-handed users.

    Logitech G400s Optical Properties: Tangle-Free, Plug-and-Play

    The G400s’s eight configurable buttons make it easy to keep things simple. By the middle of the game, the DPI toggle buttons next to the scroll wheel had become my closest friends, allowing me to quickly go from 2,000 to 4,000 DPI for sniping. However, we should discuss that cable. A simple rubber USB 2.0 chord was Logitech’s choice, and it loves to tangle. I was almost hoping it would bend itself. The Corsair M60-style braided cable would have been the way to go in this situation.

    In the aquatic dystopia of BioShock, the G400s’ 4,000 DPI sensor demonstrated silky-smooth aim. Crisp tracking with no lag or jitter. But here’s the worst part: I was in the middle of a hectic gunfight when I realized it didn’t have a sniper button. I was spoiled by the specialized sniper DPI shift on the Corsair M65, so its lack here was disappointing. Despite Logitech’s software seeming simplistic in comparison to Roccat’s customization sandbox, the onboard memory for profiles is nevertheless a pleasant addition.

    The verdict is in: good, but not perfect.

    So, are the G400s a good investment? This mouse is perfect for casual first-person shooter games if you’re looking for something simple and dependable. But come on, for the same money, you can get a Razer DeathAdder or a Corsair M65 with superior sensitivity, ergonomics, and the “ohhh, shiny” element. When it comes to gaming rigs, the G400s is more like a reliable sidekick than a superstar.
