How come nobody here is talking about the Logitech G5? Its corded and its laser, I'd like some opinions

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/produ ... NTID=10715

..because it's complete shit and it's custom made for morons?

bingo..

is this the same mouse that had like 5 page thread dedicated to it about 4 months ago?

linkage?

only one thumb button?

fuck that

mx518 ftw!

i don't even use the two buttons i have

but it's backward and forward without even having to move your hand!

Adjustable weight cartridge
Adjust the G5s weight and balance (up to 36 grams) for the control you need to dominate the competition.

I thought that was a cool feature. I'd rather have a beefy fucker than some feather.

New mouse?

if you're a logitech mouse user, just stay with the mx518

You mean that logitech went out of their way to create a mouse specifically for gamers and completely failed? That's a pretty big mess up.

First of all this old. We talked about this months ago. Plus I don't want to be tethered to my computer, I have to feel free!!! Cordless all the way baby.

That ones not worth it Toxi.

MX518 is better

actually you can bind keys to the mouse tilt wheel as well as the thumb button, giveing you 3 extra bindable keys to use in addition to the mouseup, mousedown, mouse1,2 and3 buttons. So there are a total of 8 bindable keys on that mouse.

On the MX518 I could only ever use one of the thumb buttons myself, I'd always hit the wrong one or both at the same time

In my experiance The G5 is just a better more precise mouse. I keep mine at its highest resolution all the time because I cant be bothered with switching sensitivities in game...but the option is there if you want it

Same goes for the weights....feels good right out of the box, but if you want to add weight, you can.

I dont recommend useing the "setpiont implementation" to determine your mouse speed, clicking the"OS implementation" box willl keep your mouse from feeling too sensitive.

over all its a great mouse :icon25:

Polytetrafluoroethylene. my kinda feet.

Time for a new mouse.

you cant count the tilt wheel as extra buttons because its way too gay to use in game. If you try binding stuff to it you'll be fumbling all over it pressing in the mouse wheel when you meant to tilt, and tilting the mouse wheel when you meant to press it in.

And dont forget rotating it up or down by mistake

I said it sucks therefore it sucks.

End of discussion.
