yes the middle wheel feels a bit cheap, and my LMB did feel wobbly, but they were hardly noticeable.
i only this found out after i read your post.

nevertheless, i like how it feels in my palm, and that's the reason why i choose G400 over the rest (and it was actually the cheapest too )

ya, just deal wit it (G400). i ain't got no complaint abt it.

dunno u guys hav this exp or not.. i once bought a logitech wireless mouse (M215 to be exact), the box have chinese words besides the english one. The battery is not duracell. and now the battery -ve side conductor rust ady. is this fake?

the one with chinese words was not bought online, it was from local shop here. i ady throw away the box tho
anyway i will post here how different it is later, need to take some close up picture first.

the box roughly looks like this

couldn't agree with you more
2 extra buttons is good enough for me. no need that much programmable buttons.
and i jz bought a G400

conclusion is it depends on whether you're left hand user or right hand user.

no offence but left-handed person actually use their left hand to grab the mouse? coz all my left handed friends use their right hand to grab the mouse. i ask them to try left hand, can't even last for 30 sec.

ok, now i'ma show y'all some of the pic of the fake logitech m215 that i've bought from a local store.


1. The on/off is not on the right side. Ori's on is on the right, where off is on the left. plus there should be color at the switch, where on is green and off is red.
2. the print looks cheap. ori's print is sharper

pic for comparison, note the on/off and the print at the bottom



3. There's a hole thing here. ori do not have this. plus there's no 'nano receiver' to be seen.
4. the edge of the nano receiver is sharper compared to the ori nano receiver.

This pic is for comparison



5. The metal finish of the usb is matte style, where the ori is chrome style.
6. nano receiver wording did not span to the whole receiver. by right it should.
refer to the pic above for comparison.


fake thing of course inferior quality. the rust show up in less than 2 months after purchase.


the light in the middle supposed to be green. but this fake thing is red, and it only shine when the mouse is moved.

A computer shop in Kota Kinabalu, and they have several branches already.
Ain't gonna say no name here.

Rules of thumb is if you see logitech product with chinese words on it, 90% chances that it is fake.
look at the nano receiver if it's placed outside, i already show what the fake one looks like.
If it's a wireless/cordless product, make sure the battery inside is Duracell.
Google how the box of the product you gonna buy looks like first before you buy.
Hell there's tons of fake logitech / other comp. peripherals here in KK.

for the sake of earning more moolah.. da fuq

weight is the same, but the feel... the surface is a bit different if u see closely.
the mx518 is glossy but the G400 is matte surface.. the rubberised part is still the same

of course worse, look at the photo i've taken earlier, already rusting
but the worst thing is knowing that you've bought a fake thing at the original price.. da fuq

even retail also sell fake thing... look for 'authorized retailer' safer
