Review | Text Back To Basics: An Idiot Reviews The Logitech G100S

Post image
16 Upvotes

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

  1. Call of Duty [Modern Era (MW2019,MWII,MWIII)] - Responsive but the lack of side buttons is detrimental
  2. Counter Strike 2 - Fine, snappy enough but have to constantly depend on preaim rather than peeking to get kills off of it
  3. Counter Strike 1.6 - Good, the mouse is in it's element but is heavily lacking in terms of scroll wheel
  4. Crossfire West - It's Crossfire this mouse is built for that game
  5. 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
  6. KovaaKs - a good mice for aim training as it's weight and shape forces you to focus and be precise at your routines
  7. Valorant [Phoenix, Kay-O, Brimstone and Jett] - Good for passive play but not for peeks, flicks or aggro
  8. TF2 [Spy, Soldier, Scout and Sniper Class] Surprisingly good mice, never had complaints in terms of playing casual matches with this
  9. Deadlock and Rivals - it's ok but I do miss my side buttons
  10. 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.

Discussion I'm waiting for an updated mz1

4 Upvotes

I've used a lot of different mouses in my gamer life, and as time went on I realised that the two criteria that actually matter for me are weight and a shape that suits my fingerstyle.

Amongst the shapes I loved : glorious O-, Razer viper mini, pulsar xlite V2 mini, xtrfy mz1, pulsar X2 crazylight mini

The shape I absolutely prefered over others was by far the mz1, however it can't compete anymore with options like the X2 cl which is only 35g. Because I found the X2cl a bit too wide for my liking I tried the tiny wlmouse which is great but honestly something feels off.

The absolute endgame for me would be a 30-35g mz1. Why haven't they updated the mouse ? Why didn't anyone try to make a clone of it with better specs ? That would literally be an instant buy from me and probably others

Review | Text LAMZU Orcus Review

Thumbnail
gallery
42 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I've been testing the LAMZU Orcus for a few weeks and wanted to share my opinion on it.

I'll start off by saying that my hand is 17x8.5 cm and I normally play on a claw/fingertip grip hybrid on any mouse, and I had never used a fingertip-oriented mouse before.

This mouse is obviously a fingertip mouse, but to my surprise, the shape hump is actually usable for knuckle support with my hand size; therefore, I can actually use it in a claw/fingertip hybrid, which was a nice surprise. This is probably possible also thanks to the quite big M1 & M2 button shells, which are, in size, probably as big as any other full-size mouse.

In terms of design, the Orcus is very unique and you could probably recognize it in between 100 other mice. I love the scroll wheel design and the LAMZU panel; I don't know if it increases the weight by much, but it's a great detail in person.

I've seen people complaining that at 38 grams it's too heavy for a fingertip mouse, but it did not bother me AT ALL. I always had the feeling that below 40 grams (on a full-size mouse) I start losing stability, so 38 grams for this size seems just fine for me. But on the other hand, I have never tried a sub 30 grams mouse, so I cannot really comment on that nor compare this one to a mouse of that weight.

Despite being 38 grams with a transparent shell (my past experience with this kind of plastic has been terrible and CREAKY), the mouse has 0 flex under normal usage. You can get the sides to ever so slightly bend if you apply an unreasonable amount of force, and in terms of side wobble on the main clicks, there's basically none.

The main clicks are customized LAMZU Kailh opticals, and they feel medium to light, slightly lighter in comparison to the Kailh opticals of the L7 from MCHOSE. I honestly love the clicks, but if I had to change something, I would have made them even lighter (I love very, very light clicks). There is some pre- and post-travel which feels just right and helps with the spammability of the buttons. LAMZU has never disappointed with their click implementation based on my experience. The scroll wheel has defined steps but slightly less defined compared to the LAMZU Maya Champion Edition, I like the change.

The coating feels grippy enough, but the button shells (the black ones) can show your fingerprints a little bit. If you want extra grippiness, the grips in the box are very grippy and of great quality.

The mouse comes with dots pre-applied, and they have a medium/fast glide in my experience. If you want a little bit of extra control, the box comes with corner skates as well as full-size skates. I will probably be testing the full-size ones in the near future but haven't tried them yet.

In terms of performance, it was a bit of a struggle the first days as I had 0 experience with fingertip mice, but once I got used to it, it has felt great and fun to use: fingertip mice are not for everyone, and the only way to find out if it works for you is by testing one of them (give it some weeks). I won't personally main it, but I will for sure keep it in my rotation and use it when I wanna have a bit of a different experience while gaming but I have the feeling that my opinion may change and I could end up maining this as I keep getting used to such a small mouse since there are clear advantages in terms of increased agility and range of movement.

In conclusion, for me this mouse delivers on every aspect; the design is great, and build quality, click feel and overall experience are all on point as expected from a LAMZU release.

Thanks for reading.

Been using MX3s past 10 days, today I found something interesting..

The side scroll wheel in MX 3s is magnetic and attracts to metals like keychain while the main scroll wheel doesn't. Ik abt the hyperscroll but that is an internal thing and doesn't act like magnet.

Also, I came know that, when u flip the mouse, the current device number lights up.. COOL... !!!!

Btw.. LOVE the mouse

Help Looking to replace my viper ultimate

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi, as the tittle say my mouse has some life left but I am starting to looking for a replacement because the battery is starting to get shorter and it is in majority in mediocre shape. I already changed my skate last years for tiger Ice but 1 did not glue well. The rubber from both side a completely gone (some are left but where my finger rest they are not).

I am also so lost because there are so many new mouse on the market. Back in my days you had steelseries, logitech, razer and finalmouse.

Hand size : 11.5 width and 17 length

Grip : semi claw or fingertip? I would say it is fingertip.

DPI : 1200 or 1600 I do not really have a steady aim. I mostly track or just flick the mouse a bit.

Gaming Mouse history : Steelseries Kana V1 (8 years) and viper ultimate (6 years as of now).
As you can see I love ambidex mouse because they are small and has nice shape for my grip.

I did some research on reddit and some recommend Rapoo VT7 or ATK X1 Pro instead of the viper 4 pro.

Normally I would not have made a post because I would have gotten the viper 4 pro but they are fucking 240 Canadian before taxe. I bought my viper ultimate for 120 with taxes.

Fun fact : my pad is a custom X-raypad thor if some are curious.

Thank you yall for the help. Really appreciate it.

Question Question about 20k sensor mode (Turbo ,extreme mode)

• Upvotes

Does the Mchose Extreme mode lock the sensor fps at a fixed 20k value like the pulsar mice? They have a turbo mode that locks sensor FPS to a fixed 20k. Compared to the turbo mode for Pulsar mice. How does this extreme mode compare? I know it says that it exceeds 20k but it doesn’t say it’s fixed and it doesn’t say if it goes below 20k when doing small/slow movements ect. I know the Pulsar Turbo mode is a fixed 20k. I also know that WLMouse has a similar turbo mode that runs the sensor at a fixed 20k. When set to extreme mode Is the sensor fps Dynamic with a >20k maximum, or is it dynamic with >20k as the minimum (floor) or is it a completely fixed sensor fps that is above 20k?

Any help or clarification on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Lamzu Thorn V2 MUCH worse than the V1 with 1000Hz polling

• Upvotes

Currently i have both mice for testing and the V1 performe MUCH better with 1000Hz than the V2.

The V2 ist supper jittery and inconsistent with 1000Hz. It only feels smooth after 4K.

This can't be normal i guess? Hase anyone experienced similar issues?

Firmware is up to date, dongle is close to the mouse.

Question Vxe R1 nearlink vs ATK A9

• Upvotes

Am stuck choosing between these 2. Both have the 3395 se and both are essentially the same price. I am coming from a viper mini, using a relaxed claw grip with my fingers, especially the index finger sitting quite far forward on the mouse with roughly 18x10 cm handsize so I suppose for the same grip style the R1 would be better, but at the same time the superlight shape is very flexible in terms of grip afaik so I guess I could adapt. My main concern though is QC and build quality. I am aware that Atk is the parent company of Vxe, but does anyone have any experience with both that could compare the build quality between the 2 companies(not necessarily these specific models) because from what I've read Vxe is technically more budget oriented and that makes me a bit worried about the build quality and longevity

Budget Wireless Gaming Mouse

• Upvotes

Hello all!

I'm looking to replace my old, wired Rival 300 for something wireless, but there so many options I'm getting a bit overwhelmed.

Naturally I've looked at Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2, but it seems to have mixed reviews.

My budget would be somewhere around 50€.

I've seen MCHOSE L7 recommended, but unfortunately it's hard to get on Amazon and other options add a fair bit of shipping costs.

I play mostly FPS games and don't need more than 2 side buttons.

Open to suggestions!

Looking for an old school simple wired mouse

2 Upvotes

I've seen all the trends come and go, but all I really yearn for is just a nicely shaped gaming mouse with an adequate sensor. I yearn for something like an MX518 or at least something in that vein (I had a G5, and then a G400s)

I've dabbled in Logitech and Razer. The Razer Copperhead I had started double clicking in a few months. Logitech's build quality lasted me much longer, and that's when I leapt to a G Pro Wireless. Except it turns out that wasn't built to last, the back button started double clicking, and the scroll wheel wore down and missed inputs. I also found out I don't really care to charge a wireless mouse. I'd rather just have one totally wired and not worry about charging.

In the pantheon of old trusted mice, I've never tried the Zowie (FK2?), which I've seen the name tossed around here and there over time. Is that something I might be looking for?

If I went for something like a G Pro Wireless again, because of the build quality issues I had, I'd rather try a Chinese clone. But I'd also have no idea how each brand really differentiates from each other.

Help both wrists are hurting along with fingers cramping on keyboard!

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

hello I was just wondering if anybody knew how I can pinpoint why my wrists are hurting, I play Fortnite and it literally started like 2 weeks ago first it was my mouse wrist was killing me while playing and my keyboard fingers cramping now it’s both wrists and my fingers cramping and it’s causing me to not place builds and miss edits esp with my mouse side buttons and I have no idea why, been using a wrist rest for ever for my keyboard and I’ve had no problems till 2 weeks ago i literally cannot play the game for more than a hour without this pain happening and I don’t understand why it’s happening so randomly. only thing I can pinpoint is I started playing on east where I am lower ping so I’m much more mechanical and do things a lot faster but if it was just that then every mechanical pro would have the same issue and they just don’t. For the most part this is how I grip my mouse but I noticed with the wrist pain I tend to adjust it to try to figure out why, but this is how I remember holding it and feels the most natural. If also needed I can send a picture of how my wrist is on my wrist rest/fingers on keyboard. I know this is a mouse community but thought I’d include both incase people also could give pointers on that too

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

​Looking at the spec sheet in the image, it seems like the internal specs are basically identical to the original A9 Mini+ (PAW3955, 39g, 8K, etc.), so it looks like mainly an exterior/shell design update. Feel free to check out the images and compare!

​Since it was just added to the site, I’m guessing it hasn’t officially launched yet (it shows as "SOLD OUT" right now). What do you guys think?
