I would say you would be getting more trouble then it's worth as it doesn't work and you get no warranty. A key note in the description is that the seller states "I don't know if it can be fixed or not". They have some decent used laptops on amazon for 700ish if that is your game. Republic of gamers (aside from some having issues) and msi laptops are generally great

i would say an audio technica ad700 with an add on mic.

Hey guys. I have been an Orochi user for a long time. I have always thought it was too small, like a travel mouse, but loved it otherwise and eventually got used to the diminutive size. I have been especially fond of it because it is Bluetooth and I hate wires and don't care for dongles tying up USB ports. I could not find another Bluetooth gaming/performance mouse that looked like it would be any good.

After moving to a dual boot Windows 7/8 setup, I got tired of having to frequently delete and re-pair it after switching from one OS to another. For some reason, perhaps due to Windows 8 being semi-crappy, repairing it in Windows 8 is sometimes an onerous task. So, I purchased a Logitech G700 and like it pretty well. I picked it up on sale at Best Buy for $59. I definitely like the fact that it is larger and fits my hand better. The battery life is not great, even with a higher mAh battery. The USB corded option is good for recharging, but the fat cable sucks. The USB cable for the Orochi is awesome... thin, braided and hardly know it is there. I don't like wires, but when you need one because of a dead battery, having one like the Orochi is superior. It's unfortunate that it cannot recharge the batteries through that cable like the G700.

The reason I am posting is to ask if any of you G700 owners have noticed an issue with the software. While it runs, it is causing both of my GPUs to boost into performance state and stay there for as long as the software is running. It even does it after the software is minimized to the system tray. The Logitech software is really great, except for this one issue. I like that the software has game-specific profiles. If I shut down the software, my GPUs instantly go back to normal function. This is not a big deal most of the time, but when my system is idle I would like the GPUs to go into a low power state as they are designed to, and the only way I have found to make that happen is to shut the software down. The current version is "Logitech Gaming Software 8.40.83" and I don't see a place on the Logitech Support page to select an older version as an option.

i hate windows 8 because it just doesn't work with the Orochi in my experience. I have constant connection issues where I have to fight the machine to connect back to it. I did a clean install and I just cannot get the mouse to pair now. I do believe the problem to be linked to the fact that windows 8 has their own drivers for Bluetooth that messes with other hardware.
