 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.......
Logitech NEW G5 Laser Mouse Review November 25, 2008
Love the mouse for gaming but the customizing software conflicts with Vista 32 on my gaming computer. Mouse is usable after uninstalling the software (Latest version from the website) but the extra features are missing. This is OK for me.
