 Some G5 issues to consider September 26, 2008
I am fairly adept comp user. I play Battlefield 2 and that's mainly why I bought the G5 mouse. It is very smooth, but I have had plenty of problems.
For starters, the mouse cord is braided, which makes it MUCH stiffer than any other mouse cord I have ever seen. It restricted movement so badly, I used a razor blade and cut off the braided sleeve. That solved the problem, but God only knows who ever thought it a good idea to make a stiff mouse cord.
I still do not have the software working adequately. I cannot get the resolution to change properly in-game. Additionally, I was having terrible lag in-game when trying to utilize a thumb button as a keystroke command.
The scroll wheel is harder to rotate than other mice. Plus, the wheel click requires you to push down with at least twice as much force as any other mouse I ever had.
I do like the way the mouse feels in my hand, but I would never buy another and I cannot recommend it.
Great Mouse! September 19, 2008
Originally I purchased this for a gaming system, and I have to say that the G5 has to be the best mouse I've ever used. From its comfort level and ergonomic design, to the accompanying software that allows you to setup the mouse just so, its a functional and useful tool to help enhance your day-to-day computing experience as well as your gaming. One feature I liked the most was the weight tray, which allows you to customize the heft of the mouse to meet your own needs! Often I find that mice, while comfortable in my hand, just don't have a significant weight or feel to them, and end up being uncomfortable to me. My G5 already has lots of miles on it, and continues to perform. Go Logitech!
 OK for Lefties August 8, 2008
Most people dismiss this product as being a right-hand exclusive mouse. I actually bought it unaware that it is marketed as such. Being left-handed has been an altogether different computing experience (gaming and otherwise) for me.
Well, that button intended for right-hand thumbs actually isn't a problem at all. The mouse's shape conforms to my left hand nicely. The thumb-button actually rests just under my ring finger (so a simple squeeze of the mouse activates the button).
I LOVE THE WEIGHTS!!! I just dumped all of the heaviest ones into the cartridge and use it that way, but when I'm pumped for a game, I'll drop the cart entirely and my mousing ability/accuracy shoots upward, like with actual weight-training.
My favorite thing is probably the context-switching button for DPI changing. The three settings are probably all I'd ever care for, and being able to swap precision when I play Starcraft is nice since it's a 640x480 game.
Buy this mouse, you know you want to.
It works great for gaming. June 17, 2008
And isn't that all that matters?
the mouse is great, it glides along any surface, and is very responsive, especially when using the included mouse pad. If you team this up with the G15 keyboard, you have a great gaming rig. Programmable buttons, a good grip, and quick response times makes this a very good piece of equipment, with a not too shabby price.
Great mouse for gaming and general work June 2, 2008
This mouse has never missed a beat! The weighting system works well and lets me fine tune the mouse to my liking. I don't mind the cord and this way I don't have to recharge it.
