It seems like it was just yesterday when people were complaining about the high cost of wireless laser mice, but cutting-edge mouse technology doesn't come cheap. Logitech has raised the bar even higher with the first $100 mouse. With a 2000dpi resolution, 500Hz report rate, and swappable batteries, the Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse might be the best wireless gaming mouse yet.

　　The Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse looks more blue-grey in real life.

　　Logitech's previous flagship laser mouse, the Logitech MX1000, is still a fine pointing device, but the 800dpi mouse is starting to show its age, compared to the faster, higher-resolution mice available today. The new G7 mouse features a 2000dpi resolution for extra-smooth tracking, and you can shift sensitivity on the fly with two buttons located beneath the scrollwheel. Like the corded Logitech G5 mouse, the G7 moves across the mousing surface extremely well, thanks to new, extra-large polytertrafluoroethylene (DuPont calls it Teflon) feet and an outrigger foot for extra stability.

　　The G7 retains the built-in battery life indicator, but Logitech has improved power management by packaging the mouse with two rechargeable battery packs. That way, you'll always have a fully charged battery ready when your mouse starts running low on juice. It only takes a couple of seconds to flip the mouse over, press a small button to eject the battery, and slide the replacement in its place.

　　The Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse will be available in September with an MSRP of $99.99.
