Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse

Logitech might have a firm grasp on luxury mice, but the gaming mouse market is a much more competitive space. We like Logitech's new $70 Gaming Mouse G500 quite a bit, too, but we can't say that we find it an unequivocally better product than its...

All of the same features we love about the older G5 Laser Mouse; dual-mode scroll wheel; onboard memory stores custom profiles; requisite, ludicrously high sensor DPI maximum.

Competing Microsoft mouse in the same price range offers a different set of compelling features.

There's quite a lot to like about Logitech's new Gaming Mouse G500, but with a competing mouse from Microsoft offering its own set of features, gamers now have some choices to make. The G500 will appeal to performance-driven shooter fans. The choice is...

Logitech G500 Laser Mouse

Engineered for advanced precision and control. That was the slogan used on the retail box of Logitech's MX500 high performance optical mouse way back in the day (Funny how I still remember it so clearly so many years later, haha). The Logitech MX500...

Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse Review

We recently looked at Logitechs top end gaming mouse, the G9x, which boasts a huge range of features and great performance. Logitech also produce some budget-friendly gaming mice that have a lower specification and a significantly lower price. Today we...

The G500 has very similar features to its big brother, the G9x, despite the £20 difference in price. Where they differ is in ergonomics and flexibility. For gamers who utilise a palm-grip when gaming the G500 is perfect. For claw and finger-grip users...

Weight

When it comes to the performance of the Logitech G500, it was quite impressive. The mouse was able to perform well on all levels of testing that I put it through including the precision testing, the customization testing, the comfort testing, and the...

Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse Review: It'll Get You Killed

To register how deeply disappointed I am by Logitech's G500 gaming mouse, you have to understand how much I really love Logitech's gaming mice.

Adding back the missing thumb button and giving us a scroll wheel that worked, making the mouse great again. That brings us to the G500

"The perfect mouse"

Buying this mouse was one of the best purchases I've ever made. I doubt any other gaming mouse will ever satisfy me in all the ways this one has.

- Side buttons placement is absolutely flawless (USE TIP OF THUMB for top side button, MIDDLE PORTION OF THUMB for bottom button)

Middle mouse button can be a little hard to press...but u get used to it

"Feels awesome"

It feels really good but its expensive. I would defiantly recommend this if you have the money.

-The dpi setting

-My pinky is a bit uncomfortable

"Best mouse I've ever had."

Do yourself a favor and pick this mouse up, you really couldn't go wrong.

Responsive, multiple dpi setting, multiple buttons, profiles, long BRAIDED cord. Two scroll wheel settings perfect for regular scrolling and for scrolling of very long documents or photos.

Cord can be a bit unwieldy.

Excellent mouse with a few flaws

I bought a Deathadder first and ended up taking it back because it wasn't as comfortable as I hoped and lack of dedicated on the fly sensitivity buttons. I got the G500 and I love it. It fits perfectly in my hand and the added weight you can put in...

Amazing ergonomics ; Adjustable Weight ; Excellent tracking

Scroll Wheel is Terrible ; side buttons could be bigger
