"Ehh, I don't like it even though I used to use it a lot" on by Niiro13
Pros: Nice dpi switching, 2000 dpi, weight adjustment
Cons: Scroll Wheel weird, texture weird.
Summary: For some reason I don't like this mouse as much as other people do.
The texture was so weird when I first use it. I was like what?? It's hard to describe the texture.
The dpi settings on the mouse is really nice. It's the best method for on the fly.
Scroll wheel kills my finger. I use mouse3 for ventrilo talking. Because I kind of press mouse3 pretty firmly, this mouse kills my finger. The reason being is because the scroll wheel is thinner than most mice that I've seen. Also, the added left and right feature is useless. The wheel is tilted to the right a bit, so a lot of times I would accidentally move it to the right instead of pressing it down.
Weight system is very unique. It makes a difference, but I don't think that the range of weights make enough difference to get the mouse just for that.
The 2000dpi isn't noticeable from 1800 dpi, so I don't think that it should be bought just for that either.
Other than that, I am not entirely sure if the mouse is worth more than $45. -
"The only thing missing from the older G5" on by Dr_b_
Pros: Now it is complete with the missing thumb button
Cons: hope the surface doesn't attract skin oil, and hope the components quality improved
Summary: The only thing missing and imperfect about the older G5 was the lack of the extra thumb button, which it now has. I do not think the button is too small and I never accidently hit the small button or big button because of their size. It just might be the ultimate mouse now. The only thing wrong with logitech is the tendency for the buttons to wear out, due to cheap components, but they have exceptional warranty.

"Definitely a really nice mouse" on by bhoyt47
Pros: Pretty much everything you could ask for in a mouse
Cons: Looks a little silly. Not cheap.
Summary: This is a great mouse. It's comfy, very responsive, and has more options than any other mouse I've ever had before. Also, don't be fooled by the whole "resolution battle" that the mouse manufacturers seem to be having right now. I'm a pretty hard-core gamer and I don't even turn this thing up to close to it's maximum resolution. You'd have to have the reflexes of a fly to be able to use it like that...

"worth every penny, awesome, sometimes mouse messes up" on by scooby4844
Pros: comfort, programmable buttons, changeable dpi, and weights
Cons: price and sometimes it messes up
Summary: I bought this mouse at Best Buy for 60 bucks, thought it would work good and my other mouse broke. I used to play css(counter-strike source) with a normal mouse that worked fine, then I bent the end and decided to buy a new one. I plunged it in and started using it and it was great!!! my css playing was a lot better and the mouse was a lot more comfortable. after I installed the software the mouse started moving to fast or to slow, it can be fixed by pressing the + or - dpi arrows, but i didn't press them to change it in the first place!! it is a minor flaw, and the price may be to high for this price range, but I highly recommended it, especially for css players or computer gamers.
this mouse is a gaming mouse and if you are looking at this for some other usage you can probably go cheaper -
"If you are looking for a gaming mouse, this is it." on by thok06
Pros: Great button placement, wheel works really well in-game, love the on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Not too expensive: ~50
Cons: Sometimes is painful after holding it. Maybe I played too much? The edge on the right side of the mouse seems sharp and digs into my hand. I've tried a couple of different ways of holding it and eventually sorted it out.
Summary: Bought this after looking at online reviews, and many people seemed to like it. It has a great feel to it, lots of grip, has this crazy little tray of adjustable weights that pops out the bottom so I can adjust how heavy it is. But occasionally this tray will fall out. I love the software that comes with it, makes the mouse fully customizable. It is lighting quick too, an advantage over wireless mice that sometimes can lag out on you. (Which is not good in multiplayer) One of the edges is a bit sharp and depending on how you hold the mouse, can get painful if you're not careful. Try a few positions out, keep gaming sessions under 10 hours and you'll be fine.
