g7 limited edition laser mouse - wot gives?

[elmes100]

Hi, really wanna get hold of this mouse, so I ordered it on ebuyer who a week later after several calls said it's NOW out of stock (although their stock level still shows 4 and my mate who I recommended it to ordered his 2 days later and it's been dispatched grrrrrr).

Here's the link
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/107786

Then I find this at scratchcomputers:
http://www.scratchcomputers.com/product_info.php?products_id=3667

Anyone spotted they're both running identical ad that says they have teamed up with logitech exclusively?

I phoned logitech and they said they don't know of a special edition mouse exclusive to uk but the one I describe is freely available in the U.S. (only).

Anyone have any insights as to wot gives - surely one of em is telling porkies (or probably both knowing their reputations).

Being a US buyer I've seen that mouse all over the place. As far as things go it's not a "special edition" here, however I can't say what's going on in another country.

Good luck!

I think that what is happening is that particular style of the G7 was only released in the US so if someone is importing them from a US wholesaler then they would indeed be "special edition" to the UK buyers.

Logitech probably has nothing to do with it.

Oh, noes, its a Logitech, youre better off selling it to someone for a small profit.

And? I have a wireless keyboard and optical mouse combo from Logitech thats over 2 years old and both perform flawlessly. Use both for games too. No problems.

It's the Black version with LAN case. I think the LAN case is wot they mean by Limited Edition version.

My point about this thread is that they both say they have have teamed up exclusively with Logitech to sell 500 units in UK. You can see one has blatently copied the others page (even same bold font and same words)?

Logitech say they have no details of Black G7's being available at all in UK.

So I guess I just wanted a rant that ebuyer and scratch are up to something dodgy?

PS. Can someone tell me where I can buy a black G7 (eg. a U.S site that ships to uk that is reliable unlike ebuyer. Don't say ebay...
Thanks...

Please read the post again....

I never said it wasn't a logitech, I said that logitech had nothing to do with it (it is the importing to europe).

and wtf is a "noes" is that more than one nose?

Not sure if they ship to the UK though, sry too lazy to check

 

[Weirdo]

I am not a 100% sure these two ship to UK but you can try
Tiger Direct (but i cant find the black G7... only the green on there)
or
NewEgg which has the black G7

Only 2 weeks ago, I got my order of a black G7 (or as some has called it a G7 SE) and a G15 keyboard. When I first told people i spent $60 on a mouse, they laughed and thought i was stupid, then when i got it, i let some of them use it for a few minutes, they quickly changed their opinion and 2 of them have ordered ones for themselves.

The black g7 you guys have linked to on newegg is not the "new special edition" That mouse has been on newegg for the past 6 months. The difference between that mouse on newegg and the "new special edition" is the one on newegg has a tilt wheel . The original green g7 and the new black g7 have a wheel, NOT A TILT WHEEL.

I have yet to find the "new special edition" black g7 anywhere, but on Logitech's website. New Special Edition G7 on Logitech's Website As you can see by the pictures, the new special edition g7 mouse does NOT have a tilt wheel, but rather a scrolling wheel.

Thanks Wierdo, unfortunately:
Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.

Send me one and I'll buy you a drink?

Thats the only kind of Black G7 on newegg, is the one with the tilt wheel. As far as the green one having one or not, i dont care, i hate the green color

Here's a link to logitech showing it (with the LAN case and what ebuyer and scratch are 'apparently' selling)

[floge03]

i want to make love to it.. but can't find it for less than $100

 

[GameReplays_Hobo_]

Logitech is an awesome company.


I RMA'd my G15 and they didnt even tell me to send it back, they just sent me a new one.

 

[borandi]

Yeah I recommend Logitech products =D
