Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (Blue/Black) review: Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (Blue/Black)

Easy to use, on-the-fly sensitivity changer; customizable weighting system; updated design includes two thumb-side buttons; new higher sensitivity laser sensor; fully cooked Vista support.

Thin thumb buttons might be tough to use for those with large hands; electric-blue styling reminds us of a SpikeTV sports drink commercial (for some this might be a "good").

Logitech finally earns a CNET Editors' Choice award with this update to its flagship gaming mouse. An extra thumb button, an updated laser sensor, and more convenient and flexible customization options than the competition make this mouse easy to...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

Logitech's G5 Laser Mouse has all the features a picky right-handed gamer would want. From customizable sensor resolution to removable weights, it's easy to make the G5 your own. But for a few nitpicks, the G5 is an awesome mouse for gaming and even...

Customizable weight and sensor resolution let you tailor the feel of the mouse to different activities; 2,000dpi maximum-resolution laser sensor provides the highest sensitivity available.

Designed for righties; only one thumb-side button.

We can't say that we've ever wished our mouse weighed just 1.5 grams more, but if you're a gamer with the accuracy of an Army sniper--or hope to become one--you will appreciate the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse's vast customizability.

Logitech G5 Mouse Review: Good for the Gamer, Good for the Grandma

The Logitech G5 is a gaming mouse. At least, that's what it is often touted as - and to the average user, that isn't always good news. Gaming mice are expensive, and often uncomfortable for daily use. Can the G5 break that mold, or is it for headshots...

Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse

When a product comes this packed with features, the only concern is that your review might be to long. When Logitech makes a high-end Gaming Mouse, they mean business. The G5 is a very high end product, especially in the gaming world.

Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Unbelievable sensitivity ; Appearance is consistent with the price (appears high-end, looks good) ; Additional buttons are handy ; Ability to adjust button-presses for individual programs ; On-the-fly sensitivity adjustment ; Side-scrolling wheel ;...

LED sensitivity indicator hidden by hand when in use, could use a better location ; USB cord can get caught on edges, possibly with catastrophic results when gaming ; Appeared to be a glitch in the button programming for Microsoft programs ; The tin...

This is a fine piece of work. From viewing the packaging, I expected this to be a well put-together product, and I was not disappointed. The finish on it is excellent, the appearance is unique with the air-brushed look and the buttons and feet all line...
