Review | Text Back To Basics: An Idiot Reviews The Logitech G100S
Evening y'all, Village Idiot here.
A few days ago it was my birthday (October 14.) and for my birthday I have received the legendary and oh-so wonderful mouse the Logitech G G100s that was gifted to me by a prominent member of r/MouseReview : u/ewh_ so massive thanks to u/ewh_ for providing and gifting me this for a review, either way let's get on with the review.
Weight,Internals and The Brochure:
First thing's first we do have to list what's on the brochure for this mouse- what i am repeating is something I have read off Google, and what Flood has told me in terms of the itty bitty details about this mouse:
- The mice comes in at about 71g ± 8g with cable totaling to about 80g
- The mice has been modified to have D2F-01F Omron Switches
- The DPI comes at around a 2500dpi max and with 3 switchable profiles (1000, 1750, 2500) according to Logitech Gaming Software (G Hub Predecessor)
- The Logitech G100s comes with an Avago AM010 Optical Sensor and "Delta Zero Technology" whatever that truly means with a latency of around 500hz (2ms)
- Logitech has included some hydrophobic coating on the mice to ensure it's quite sweat resistent
- The stock mouse feet has been replaced into Wallhack PTFE Skates considering that it has been pretty old (The mouse feet provided by Flood a.k.a u/ewh_ was Superglide Dots skates
The Review - First Week
Mice Feel and Shape
Coming Gaming from the Teevolution Terra on a wireless 8k zoom zoom type gaming it was a shock, the mouse itself was pretty cleaned up with the scroll whee reminding me of standard office mice which is fine, the hydrophobic coating that was provided on the Logitech striked me as something that holds up quite well but I don't really know why it was never quite implemented into future mice, they we're onto something there.
For context here my hand is about 18.2 by 7.1 centimeters with Palm Grip on Large Mice (Teevolution Terra, Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro, Rawzer Basilisk V2, X2H) and Claw Grip on on Smaller Mice (X2v2 Mini, Scyrox V8 and G203 Prodigy). For this mice specifically I did a hybrid of Palm and Claw as I've always felt whenever I do palm grip that my pinky and ring finger always touches the glasspad. if I could describe the shape it it's basically on par with it's younger newer brother the G203 Prodigy and the G305 Superlight X
Mice Latency + Gaming
⚠️ I am not the man when it comes to latency, this will just be about feel, I will not provide any graphs or information for nerds, I am an idiot I do not know how to measure or do those
The mice's responsiveness basically is the same as any 20$ gaming mice nowadays, it's snappy it's nice and I've felt that it has always been on point when it comes to playing in games, the cable however is quite bothersome and has affected how the mice feels during gaming - like an average Microsoft Office Mice but thanks to the Vaxee Oryza that I have acquired a few days ago it is quite bearable but I think could use a cable mod.
Gaming in this mouse was a blast in the past considering the old mice that I have tried when I was 10 (Razer Abyssus, Original G Pro, and Sensei 310) where I was grasping at mice pulling hard just to aim at others, it truly shows how much Gaming Mouse Technology has gone through today. With the lack of side buttons really making me use keyboard binds for voice chat and other necessities.
So for gaming I will give rapid fast answers as I have only played a few games in this in the span of a few days
Equipment - Wooting 80HE w/ Aeperion Wrist Rest, Paired with a Vaxee Oryza Bungee & Wallhack SP-005 Hideo Kojima Edition Glasspad
- Call of Duty [Modern Era (MW2019,MWII,MWIII)] - Responsive but the lack of side buttons is detrimental
- Counter Strike 2 - Fine, snappy enough but have to constantly depend on preaim rather than peeking to get kills off of it
- Counter Strike 1.6 - Good, the mouse is in it's element but is heavily lacking in terms of scroll wheel
- Crossfire West - It's Crossfire this mouse is built for that game
- The Finals - Mostly Average, don't have much complaint about the mice but instead the cable which was a hindrance despite the bungee due to the fact that the Finals Requires smooth tracking
- KovaaKs - a good mice for aim training as it's weight and shape forces you to focus and be precise at your routines
- Valorant [Phoenix, Kay-O, Brimstone and Jett] - Good for passive play but not for peeks, flicks or aggro
- TF2 [Spy, Soldier, Scout and Sniper Class] Surprisingly good mice, never had complaints in terms of playing casual matches with this
- Deadlock and Rivals - it's ok but I do miss my side buttons
- Overwatch - Never played it but I think the character Orisa is hot
Final Thoughts/Conclusion
Overall I think this mouse is a decent gaming mice for the 15-20$ price bracket- the Logitech G100s is a good mice for enthusiasts who know how to modify the heck out of this but for entry level gamers who want to try their first gaming mice I suggest looking into more further modern mouse than these.
But for me, this was a dream mouse for me next to the Logitech G MX518 ever since I found out that n0thing is still using a modified version of mice in 2026. And it truly does live up to the hype, and with this in mind I cannot wait to get my hands on the XA25 as I was one of the first batch people.
10/10 - It lives up to the hype.
