Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse
Logitech recently announced the Logitech G7 Cordless Laser Mouse. It's main features are Laser Tracking, 2000 dpi and a USB connection that sends a blazing 500 reports/second* over 2.4 GHz wireless for a bulletproof connection. The G7 mouse cost $99.99 U.S and will be available in the U.S. and in Europe in September. It's perfect for Gamers!. www.logitech.com.
Dead batteries won´t stop you mid-mission, thanks to a five-level power indicator and twin “hot-swappable” Li-ion battery packs that recharge while you´re racking up points. Use Logitech´s SetPoint software to customize your mouse with advanced features such as game detection and adjustable sensitivity (including independent x- and y-axis settings). The programmable tilt wheel adds an unprecedented level of control and gaming power.
Logitech G7 Features and Specs:
First, it uses full-speed USB to increase the number of reports per
second. Second, it features an advanced gaming mode that prevents the
mouse from going into power-saving sleep mode until a full minute has
passed, which is far longer than the usual ten seconds for conventional
office mice.
Logitech´s 2.4 GHz cordless technology with 24 channels unlikely to
interfere with other consumer devices. If the mouse encounters
interference, Logitech´s intelligent frequency hopping enables the mouse
to automatically jump to a channel where there is no interference.
battery-level indicator so that gamers always know their power status.
Using Logitech SetPoint software, this battery-level indicator can be
customized to alert gamers when there is anywhere from 30 percent to 5
percent of battery life remaining, based on preference. In the default
gaming power mode, the battery life will last up to two and a half days
for average game play. Under tournament conditions, if used
continuously, the mouse will last up to seven hours per charge. During
normal office use, the mouse will achieve up to four and a half days of
battery life in gaming power mode before needing a battery swap.
comes with two rechargeable 18-gram lithium-ion battery packs. Only one
is in use at a time, so the mouse weighs significantly less than other
rechargeable mice currently on the market, and much less than mice that
require two AA batteries. The low weight of the mouse allows fast moves
and zero inertia, which are important for minimizing fatigue during long
gaming sessions. To quick-swap the batteries, gamers simply press a
button on the base of the mouse to pop the battery pack out so the
alternate battery can slide into its place.
USB Report Rate: 500 reports/second

i don't get the dpi part. why would there be a need for the 400dpi setting when 2000 is much better? thx

i would think 2000dpi is gonna burn up the battery more then 400dpi which is why its switchable

Can anybody tell if they know when this is actually going to be on the market to purchase. As everywhere you go for it they say they going to have but they don't seem to know when.

As for when it will be on the market to purchase: it is right now; go buy it. There is one on my desk right now.
As for why you would want to switch/lower the dpi at anytime: The higher the dpi the faster the mouse will go. 2000 dpi is almost uncontrollably fast on the desktop, but in gaming i like my mouse to go zipping across the screen acurately (no interpolation). When sniping i turn it down to 1400 dpi. If you didn't know all this in the first place, you probably should not be spending $80 on a mouse.
