Verdict

The Lenovo G701 is a versatile tri-mode gaming mouse featuring a symmetrical ergonomic design and a PixArt PAW3311 optical sensor capable of reaching 12,000 DPI, 300 IPS tracking speed, and 35G acceleration. It offers flexible connectivity through 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB Type-C, alongside durable Huano mechanical switches rated for 100 million clicks. Weighing approximately 85g, it includes a 500mAh rechargeable battery providing up to 85 hours of life and supports fast charging while in use. Major pros include its lightweight build, long-lasting switches, and tri-mode versatility, while primary cons include a lack of RGB lighting and a relatively high minimum DPI of 800 compared to professional-grade competitors.
