The New Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse Review

April 4th 2007 | Peripherals

You might be asking yourself, “Isn’t there already a G5 available?” Yes. But this mouse is newer and more improved than the original G5. The original G5 is silver with orange sprayed in the middle of the mouse while the new G5 utilizes a unique black and blue color combination. The USB report rate (how many times per second your mouse sends its position to the software) on the new G5 is 1000 reports per second, compared to the original G5’s 500 reports per second. You may have already noticed that the new G5 has one more button on its left side.

..From its great looks to its jaw-dropping performance, this mouse ousts my old MX518 without any questions. I’ve been thinking for almost five minutes about a possible con and I honestly cannot think of a single one. The mouse feels great too, almost like very fine sand paper. The tilt wheel is so much better than the standard scroll wheel.

It’s more efficient than the old G5 and it performs much better than all the mice that I’ve ever owned. Logitech has impressed me yet again with another fine laser mouse. The weights are awesome because it allows you to really make the mouse feel the exact way you want it to. If you buy this mouse, you won’t be disappointed.
