Once again Logitech has produced a first rate gaming mouse with features that you simply won’t find anywhere else. I thought it would be quite a while before I found a mouse better than the MX518, but I was wrong. If you're serious about gaming, you...

It isn't cheap, but with a mouse this smooth and precise, your frags per pound will undoubtedly justify the outlay

Pinpoint accuracy, adjustable weight, on-the-fly sensitivity changes

Accuracy problems on dark surfaces

The Logitech G5 is without a doubt one of the best mice on the market. Assuming you are not using your mouse on a dark surface, you'd be hard pressed to do better than this.

Easy to use, on-the-fly sensitivity changer ; Customisable weighting system ; Updated design includes two thumb-side buttons ; New higher sensitivity laser sensor

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")

No extra features ; More expensive than the vanilla G5

N.B. Since this review was written, Logitech have advised us that the mouse should now be available through most IT outlets.

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.
