Logitech G5 Laser Mouse - Perfect for gamers!

Advantages: Very comfortable grip, extremely smooth across the mouse mat
Disadvantages: May be considered expensive to some - but not if you want a great mouse!

I first got into online gaming about 3 years ago and didn't have a clue about specific gaming keyboards and mice. I was happily playing with the 'standard' mouse that came with my PC until I upgraded my whole set up and decided that as I was gaming more frequently I needed a specific gaming mouse. Logitech are renowed for their gaming equipment and after hours of research on the internet decided the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse was exactly what I needed. I loved the look of this mouse from the moment I saw it but as my hands are not that big (i'm a girl after all!) I was slightly concerned that the mouse wouldn't feel as comfortable as the smaller mouse did that I'd had before. It also looked a little heavier than my previous mouse but looks can be deceiving! I first used the mouse to surf the Net to get used to it and I was extremely ...

Review of Logitech G5 Laser Mouse mouse

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

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

I bought this mouse about 2 years ago to replace my age-old wireless MicroSoft mouse, which was finally biting the dust after a lengthy life in service. I chose this mouse over the (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! The software that comes on CD is easy to install and use. It allows you to set 5 different DPI settings (changeable from the mouse) as opposed to the 3 default ones if you don't install the software ...

Review of Logitech G5 Laser Mouse mouse

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

Advantages: Very responsive, fits nicely into my hand...
Disadvantages: The adjustable weight system seems superfluous for my needs...

Basically, I bought the G5 as an update to my MX518 (another excellent mouse in my opinion) because of the higher responsiveness. I've had the mouse for about 3 months now but am still a bit unsure of what to do with the weights. I've put a few in, taken 'em out, put 'em back again and I just can't tell the difference... I'm probably a klutz. I love the textured finish and as a right-hander everything falls into place perfectly but feel sorry for the left-handers out there who'd like to use one. No problems using it, it does exactly what I expect of it and more, the software works perfectly and is easy to use. In my case I was very fortunate in that I bought my G5 when it was available under a local promotion of Logitech products, so from a value for money perspective it represents excellent value (about half price). In most respects ...
