Logitech G5 Laser Mouse mouse

Advantages: Customisable DPI, Interchangeable weights, Smooth to use
Disadvantages: Right hand specific

...(at the time) over the Logitech MX 518 because of the added benefits of having a high DPI laser mouse for gaming. The weight of the mouse is customisable by means of inserting small (4.5g and 1.7g) weights into a neat little cartridge that lives underneath the mouse. This was one of the best things with this mouse as it allowed me to keep the same weight and feel of my old wireless one - very handy not having to get used to another mouse again! ...
...independently customisable from within the Logitech software. Personally I don't have this installed; I use the windows default Logitech G5 drivers as prefer to keep things simple. To be honest I don't notice any difference in all apart from the loss of customisable buttons and such (which I never really got round to using anyway!) With this mouse I brought a Razer eXactmat, which is where I encountered the first real problem. It worked fine on ... Read review

Advantages: Customisable weight, 2,000dpi provides the highest sensitivity available
Disadvantages: Designed for right-handers, Can be unresponsive on some mouse mats

...I went for this, the Logitech G5. Basically, this mouse is designed for gamers as you can tune the sensitivity for different uses. You can also customise the weight of the mouse to your liking. The mouse comes with a small tin that contains eight 1.7g and eight 4.5 g weights. The weight cartridge is on the underside of the mouse so all you have to do is pick the weight you want and then slide the tray in the cartridge opening. Changing the weight ...
...would suffice. A utility called Logitech Setpoint is included with the mouse which allows you to program two additional dpi settings to your preference. The other buttons include the two main left and right buttons, a scrollwheel and a thumb button which is on the left side of the mouse making not the best mouse for left-handers. The scrollwheel allows you to make the movement up and down, but also lets you scroll from side to side. The logitech ... Read review

Advantages: Highly responsive
Disadvantages: Feels cheap

I purchased this mouse to replace my trusty, grey, completely standard, comes-with-the-computer mouse which had finally bitten the dust. I initially wanted an infra red wireless mouse but due to price and a previous bad experience I decded to go with this highly advanced corded mouse from Logitech The laser system is far smoother than the old fashioned ball (as would be expected) but this system is particularly good. I have never before used a ...
...to be honest they don't do a lot (I'm no hardcore gamer) and I don't really know what they do. The weight and balance is completely adjustable, making for a nice feel of motion, and it is ergonomically fantastic and my hand is comfortable with it, even after after many hours of solid use. Unfortuneatly the plastics used (despite the expensiveness of the mouse) do not feel so good. They are not as pleasant to touch as I would expect for such a high ... Read review

Advantages: Feels very solid, accurate, on-the-fly ajustment
Disadvantages: Cable material catches edges, middle mouse click is flimsy

I bought this mouse 2 weeks ago as my old microsoft one died on me. I play alot of games so i thought i would try a gaming mouse for a change. A couple of unique features about this mouse is the fact that you can change the weight of the mouse. This is done with a small tray on the underside of the mouse. You push a button and it slides out and allows you to put little weights (provided in a cool brushed aluminim box) in the tray and slide it back ...
...4.5 grams. This is great for fine tuning the 'feel' of the mouse. The other unique feature is the fact that you can change the sensitivity of the mouse on the fly. This is great in games when you may want to make the mouse less sensetive for long range sniping and a high sensitivity in tight situations. Also if you are using photoshop and want to make some very fine details this mouse makes it alot easier to do so. The mouse itslef is very comfortable ... Read review

Advantages: Very smooth, easy to set up
Disadvantages: The cable can be a little strange

Geeky... is that a word? Anyway... I bought this mouse to replace my trusty wireless optical that had started to show signs of old age, I had read all the reviews and even though I was going back to a "corded" mouse, I was not too worried, as after all, I never actually moved the last one from the desk anyway. When it arrived I was impressed with all the packaging and the little tin of 4.5g and 1.7g weights.... (the geeky bit) However, I don't actually ...
...not really see much of a difference when using the mouse with them installed, and without them. Although I imagine over a long time that may show itself. At the moment, I am not using them but I will try them again. The wheel works well, but after buying a new widescreen monitor, I find I have no use for the sideways scrolling function, so I have already reassigned them to page up and down (or "cruise up/down" as they call it) The mouse is comfortable ...
