New Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse

Bastieeeh · Mar 15, 2007

Logitech's popular gaming mouse, the G5, got a facelift and will be available immediately. The weight customizable distribution unit is still the same allowing you to tweak the handling properly. New are the 9! mappable buttons and a more accurate scroll wheel.
The price will be the same as before (around 75 Euros), so is the laser unit (2000dpi).

Is the G5 a good mouse then (this going out to the people who actually have them) as im after a gaming mouse to replace my crappy MS optical mouse. Cant seem to find a review on our forums, going to search the net.

Follow the link to Voodoo Extreme - it's some sort of a review...

Figures they put the extra button back on.....I love my G5 its a great mouse, but having used an Intellimouse with side buttons on BOTH sides. It took me some time to get used to the button I had lost. Not too mention I never understood why they took away the 2nd button on the left side that the MX's had. I wouldnt also mind the "upgraded" wheel as I do think it could be stiffer as I do often end up with Side Scroll stuff happening when Im just after middle Clicks

OH and he reported that this one has a better polling rate, thats not new I have that as well, it was included with the latest Setpoint update.

ooooOOOoooo...
Man i want this mouse so bad, even though i have a MX518, this has the weight changing thing. Wow! I would love to have that! Ill prolly look for some cash and get it

Looks kinda lame tho, i rather have the traditional G5 look, or G7

damb, now im goign to have to swap my g5 for this 1

. only having a back button is realy annoying. so this will be the perfect mouse (imo)

newtekie1 · Mar 15, 2007

I hope they do the same thing to the G7. If they do I will have to buy a third.

Even though I didn't really miss the missing side button, the sideways scrolls more than made up for it.

WarEagleAU · Mar 15, 2007

Ive used the razer, the g5 and g7 (dont own any of them, but used displayed ones in tech stores) and they all work very well. I like the G5 and Razer the best though..just from feel (asthetics) and control. G7 is nice as well, and barely notice a difference in the 3, IMO

Man, if I wasn't getting married soon, I'd take my money and get a laser mouse... I'm stuck with my opty right now, though...

SK-1 · Mar 15, 2007

I just wanted add this,...BE SURE TO DO THE FIRMWARE UPDATE :toast:

It made a world of difference with my G5!!! I mean it was like night and day as far as the control and the surfaces it was able to tack on.

Just add it to your gift registry!!

It figures.
I get 2 G5 mouses and now they add the button back on.

Oh well I shouldnt complain I love both my G5's.
And I got them for only $35 a piece

I think the new G5 looks pretty sick, but in a way I want to keep the old "rusty" look of the G5, both look good though...

acousticlemur · Mar 15, 2007

looks just like my Mx700 but with cool crazy blue instead of black and silver. and i have an extra button

I love mine, and using it I have turned two buddies to it.
Can't even complain about the support, my wire freyed and Logitech replaced the mouse for me

Hmm... haven't had a problem with mine, I'll have to look into that.
