Good mouse for 2 years, warrenty replaced November 23, 2009 Buddy Christ (Vegas Baby!) This mouse has been pretty good for 2 years.
Pros: 3 year Warranty, Logitech support, weight, style, and features are worth the money.
Cons: The mouse sensitivity would occasionally change between applications. The DPI buttons required harder and harder pushing to respond as it got older. Finally the mouse cord, where it connects to the circuit board, came loose and would make the mouse lose connection to the USB port.
I called Logitech support and got a copy of my receipt off Amazon, and Logitech is shipping me a new G500 (because they don't sell the G5 anymore).
I would buy it again.
Good for many years October 28, 2009 H. Vardhan (Bay Area, CA) When laser mice first came out (obviously at a premium to regular optical mice), I was quite skeptical. But after buying 2 Logitech G5 laser mice (and one Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse (Black)), I must say that they have changed my life (at least the bits of it that related to sitting in front of a computer 10 hours a day). The G5 is fast, very precise, and works on virtually any surface. The feature where you can change resolution (amount of distance the cursor moves every inch you move the mouse) very easily on the fly between 5 settings (mine are set from 300dpi all the way to a staggering 1800dpi). This feature is also very useful if you like to waste your time playing online games where a mouse is required. For games like billiards you need a very low resolution to aim precisely while for other games the ability to move the mouse quickly (or move a high resolution mouse slowly) counts for a lot. Once you buy this mouse and get used to the cursor moving with laser precision where you want it to go, you will never use an optical or mechanical mouse for the rest of your life. The mouse also has an adjustable weight tray so you can tweak its weight to your liking. Again, this seems like a small thing but becomes somewhat important if you use your mouse for multiple hours a day.
Great Mouse October 17, 2009 Komdetch Koonopakarn (Los Angeles, CA USA) Was very interested in the G5/G7, but was put off by the fact that they only have one thumb button. So when I found out that they came out with a revision with 2, I was all over it. Love the mouse. Unfortunately only comes in one finish (the electric crackly blue one), but it's not as gaudy as the pictures make it seem.
The adjustable weights are nice, and the dpi switcher is very snazzy. The middle mouse click can be tricky to push down, as it sometimes prefers tilting to the sides. I'm glad it has the ratchety precision scroll, but the option to switch between it and hyperscroll would have been nice.
Otherwise, a great mouse. Highly recommended for the price.
Fantastic October 15, 2009 FM This is an excellent mouse that I bought at the recommendation of a friend. I have had zero issues with it and it is very precise. DPI goes up to 2000. I recommend getting it with a hard-surfaced gaming mouse pad such as SteelSeries.
Very Helpful October 15, 2009 CappiGirl (Michigan, USA) I would recommend this company to any customer looking for a product. They were very professional and responded to inquiries quickly. The first mouse had been lost in the mail and they sent out a replacement within 24 hours. The mouse arrived safely and works very well.
