 Expensive mouse in cheap plastic shell November 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pro :
No battery, plug and play .
Good strong sturdy wired.
Nice weight and case.
Cons :
Cheap plastic shell.
Cheap scroll wheel.
You look at the price and said wow, I must have got a good deal if it on sale. But no, compare to my two Logitech wireless mouse (which have some reception and movement issue). This one feel cheap among those eventhough the price are almost same.
Let me tell you, when I first holding this mouse, it was like I was holding some China brand mouse that only cost $5. What is it that different than the rest ? Not anything new except the rapid changing DPI thing. All my mice have same button this mice had except the cheap plastic shell.
My VX Revo is one of the best mice I owned but I hate the battery, even the rechargable battery only able to support it 2-3days unlike it promised of a month. My LX8 however able to go without charge in a month :). This new G5 only good because I need the continuous usage so no battery is a plus.
Second, my VX Revo have the smooth rubber that feel good on your hand, LX8 have it too but not as good and cool like VX Revo. This G5 have the rugged plastic un-smooth side, I mean, I am holding it everyday and I don't want my mouse feel like some kinda rock ><. Why can't they just make it smooth and shine. I can ignore that too if they don't also put the two right/left mouse button rugged too. That doesn't go well with their electro blue color, it's look crap with rugged plastic, make it shiny than maybe it will look cool.
The scrolling isn't good, slow and un-smooth and noisy. My VX Revo had the quiet mouse scroll I ever seen and it's move fast, the LX8 use the old plastic mouse scroll but they make it more smooth motion and quieter than that G5.
Overall, I would't recommended this mouse at all, maybe if the G9 is around this price, it's should be better. At $46, this mouse isn't worth it, should be around $25 because it's cheap.
The only non-cheap about this mouse is the wired, the weight adjuster and its case. Maybe because the weight adjuster cost them too much money that they decide to un-smooth everything ? o_O . I want a mouse not a cheap toy. However, it does response better without some lag time than my wireless mouse. If I know this mouse is crap, I rather buy MX518 for the smoothness and same feature and also cheaper. Why you have to praise something that doesn't live up to the price >< .
PS : If my VX revo + LX8 have wired, they would be among the elite but Logitech got issue when they only make wireless and most of them got problem one way or another ><.
 Defective or bad product? November 11, 2008

Well the mouse worked fine right out of the box for about a week or two and then it stopped moving in one direction. I think they have two tracks, one is upper left to lower right and the other is upper right to lower left. Anyway, it stopped working upper left to lower right direction so you can imagine it doesn't work well without full movement. I'll try to get it replaced but Amazon won't accept a return because I missed it by 3 days (of course) so I have to go through Logitech which shouldn't be a problem as they have had good mice in the past and I will either get a replacement or a new model.
As for this model, it has weights in the bottom so you can fine tune the feel of the mouse but I found the additional weights to cause the mouse to be a little heavy and was concerned about corpal-tunnel syndrome (sp?) so I left the weights out and it worked fine. Another post mentioned the cord might have been too stiff, I agree, the cord did cause a bit of push back on the mouse so I had to "clip" it to my desk to prevent push. Not the ideal mouse for gaming or otherwise.
If I were you I would get a different model. I did like the long cord lenght though since my desktop isn't real close to my desk so the extra length cord was nice. The cord is also made of a fabric material that looks / feels pretty tough which is why it probably gave pushback but it seemed very sturdy.
 pure awsome-ness November 10, 2008
this mouse is awsome
the best $50 ive ever spent
i used this mouse and mt accuracy was so high with a sniper people thought i was useing a aim-bot
luckly i didnt get banned from the server (and i wasnt useing a aim-bot [looking around room suspicously] )
pros: awsome-ness in a box is the best way to discribe it
cons: the cord is a little stiff but if you keep it out of the way and as long as you dont keep it tangled up you'l have no problem
i give it a 9.5/10
Classic design, corrected shortcomings November 4, 2008
A couple of years ago I purchased the original G5 mouse. It was a great mouse for gaming and general use, but it has two issues:
First, the mouse wheel has a problem where, at a particular location, rolling it from one detent to the next does not send the appropriate signal. This has an effect when playing games, such as when using the mouse wheel to change weapons. As this issue was not noted in any reviews, I assume it is a slight defect in my particular mouse.
Second, it only has one thumb button on the left side. Since I use these buttons for navigation forward and back in my web browser, and for various purposes in games, it represents a lack of significant functionality. It's a glaring omission that didn't make any sense.
Although I liked the feel and accuracy of the mouse, I eventually switched back to my MX500 on my main computer, and relegated the G5 to my laptop.
When I was researching which new mouse and mouse pad to get, I saw that Logitech had introduced this new revision of the G5 that now has the second thumb button. I considered purchasing the G9, or the Microsoft Sidewinder, but I decided to go with the classic design that I was already used to in both the MX500 and the first G5 and I'm glad I did.
This mouse doesn't have the issue with the mouse wheel and the return of the second mouse button makes it nearly the perfect mouse. I have added some additional weight to the mouse using the adjustable weight feature. I may take some out to see if I prefer it lighter but for now it feels very good. The combination of this mouse with the Razer Exactmat with Exactrest Gaming Mouse Pad & Wrist Rest--Black (reviewed separately) is excellent for both gaming and general use. Some reviewers have noted that they don't like the texture on the top and/or sides but it feels perfectly comfortable to me.
In summary, Logitech took one of the best mice ever made and corrected the one major problem it had.
