So all You gamers out there confused about which mouse to buy..
Logitech G5 (2nd revision)
Logitech's second revision of the G5 gaming mouse adds a second thumb button on the left side as well as all-new aesthetics. A grippy, rubberized black and blue "cracked" surface replaces the smooth plastic of the previous G5. A DPI indicator lies on the top of the mouse between where your thumb and index finger rest. The rubberized scroll wheel is clickable and also tilts to the sides for two additional button clicks. Directly behind the scroll wheel are the DPI adjustment buttons to switch on-the-fly between 400, 800 and 2000 DPI at default settings.
Logitech includes a removable weight cartridge that slides into the bottom of the mouse along with a set of weights. Eight 1.7g and eight 4.5g weights are included, allowing you to mix and match to find the perfect balance of weight vs. friction when fragging.
During testing, I found the G5 to be a superb gaming mouse. I have relatively small hands and I never felt like the mouse was overwhelming my hand. I experimented both with and without weights and found a medium-weighted mouse using 800 DPI offered me the best gaming experience. The on-the-fly adjustable DPI comes in handy when using a sniper rifle, allowing you to bump down the sensitivity for more precise shots. A quick bump back to 800 DPI and you are ready for battle with assault rifles and the like.
Price as of writing $49.99.
