 Doesn't get much better than this... December 2, 2008
First off, my history. I've gone through so many mice, I can't even list them all. My most memorable mice, however, were, a run-of-the-mill Microsoft optical mouse, the Logitech MX510, and then this mouse. Needless to say, the Microsoft optical was horrible. My wrists, after gaming and everyday use, hurt a lot. I decided to upgrade. The MX510 was a dream. It fit my hand perfectly, and I love the feel. Then, a few months, I decided that the MX510 was getting old. Looking around at Razor, the new Microsoft gaming mice, and others, I finally came to the conclusion that this mouse was it. And it is. Why? Simply because it just does it's job, with style.
Let me go into things a little bit deeper. To being with, the grip is great. Yes, it's only for right handed people, but I know Logitech makes ambidextrous mice, so no complaining there. This mouse fits my hand perfectly, and, though I have rather large hands, my fingers fit over the mice comfortable.
The "feet" are smooth and they glide almost effortlessly over my Razor gaming mouse pad. You can move the mouse almost with your mind (almost).
The weight of this mouse is to your liking, and I like it heavy. The personizable weight is a great option and I'm Logitech included it with this mouse.
The scroll wheel is smooth, and though it now squeaks every time I scroll up and down, that's definitely a very minor thing in this otherwise great mouse.
Lastly, the dpi censor. Having a changeable dpi is awesome, but sometimes it's annoying. I would just find myself sometimes clicking the dpi setting by mistake. My only quibble is that, in Vista, the drivers didn't work out so well with me and every time I changed the dpi the mouse would become super-slow. Again, most likely my mistake, and doesn't really degrade how great of a mouse this is.
Overall, I completely and totally recommend this product to anyone who wants a high-quality, top-of-the-line, and pretty much perfect mouse. You won't regret it.
 may think twice November 30, 2008
I brought the same G5 old version a year ago and it stoped working. So I buy this new mouse to replace the old one. It was pretyt much the same, accurate and smooth. The only reason I give 3 out of 5 star is because of the plastic cover. It is not good for people with sweaty hands, it stinks the mouse and needs regular cleaning. I wonder who designed this NEW mouse which looks worse than the old version. It is a decent deal, only if, you can stand the ugly outlook and the smell of sweat. (Infact, I wouldnt have brought it if I knew this before.)
 full of features, fairly reliable, sensitivity is a bit fickle November 28, 2008
It's a good mouse, but when opening and using some programs on my PC, it increases the sensitivity automatically even when I don't want it to and don't press the adjusting buttons. This problem is fixed when I adjust the sensitivity control on the mouse, but it's still kind of annoying. Still a decent product.
I like it. November 27, 2008
Had a similar Logitech optical mouse for a few years. Liked it a lot, but the right button stopped working, and the small pads on the bottom had worn off.
Saw this one on here. Looks great. Functionally, it's pretty much the same as my last mouse. Has all the functions that I used anyway. Same ergonomic shape that fits in my hand perfectly. I suppose I'll see if laser is that much better than optical. Much better than the Logitech choices at the local stores. The forward/back buttons look and feel nice, and don't click loudly and feel cheap like the ones offered in the stores.
I don't really use the speed adjustment buttons, but I suppose they might be nice for gaming if I still did that. The middle setting is good for me.
As far as the weights are concerned, I popped four 4.5g weights in, it felt good, and I left it. The sheath on the cord is braided, which I thought was strange, but trivial.
I had a similar wireless mouse a while ago. Hated it. I hated having to put it on the charger, and always forgot. Sucks when you need to use your super sweet (and battery heavy) mouse that is dead.
Did I mention that this mouse looks and feels really cool? The G5 has my blessing. Go ahead and buy it. It's good stuff. :)
Best mouse I've owned. November 25, 2008
I purchased this mouse to replace the mouse that came with my PC that I bought 6 years ago. I wasn't sure how much better a laser mouse would be compared to optical. I was shocked at how smooth the motion was, I love the shape of the mouse in my hand too.
Be warned though this mouse does require a small learning curve, I notice that I have to be more precise with hand movement or I will move the pointer past the area I am aiming for. Once I used it for a while I got used to it and now I would never go back. I notice now when I am at work that I HATE how sluggish my mouse is. Guess I need to buy another G5 for work??
Over all great device,Although the software that comes with the device is a little annoying. Pop-ups from logitech seem to come a little to often.......
