Kond3PInoAt least with Logitech you can turn off the LEDs if you like. It's not like they make up that much weight, the LED assembly is 1.8g and the light piece might be another 2g extra to a regular shell.
I prefer this over the EC style where you have a glowing mouse wheel and can't turn it off.
I'd argue that the few grams of extra weight for a mouse that is tailored for the competitive market is meaningful. That is unless they wanted to make the mouse exactly 83g.
Main reason is that it needs to be marketable to the general consumer too I guess. If it had no braided cable and no LED the user reviews would be full of people saying "this is cheap, no braided cable, no cool lights, doesn't fit my fancy build" etc.
Even as it is now it's probably still a gamble for Logitech where one can only hope it sells well so they make more mice in that market segment again.
AvastI've been looking to try out a new mouse. Gonna wait and see the reviews to decide between this or the nexus revel.
The Revel is fine, but seems to have some quality control troubles. My unit didn't have these. Only thing that I disliked with the Revel is the mouse feet because they scratch on my pad. And the buttons aren't as good as the PGM of course, but they're alright imo.
If you want to decide between these two I'd go by the shape, take which one you prefer.
Also the Revel is much more reasonably priced if that is a factor.
