Customer Reviews
Best mouse yet
This is easily the best
Logitech mouse yet. I own both the G5 and G9, and settled on the G5 as
my primary mouse some time ago after hating the grip of the G9 (neither
one felt natural to me). This was a problem, since I felt the G9
performed better but it just wasn't comfortable. As a result, I'm going
to compare the G500 to the G5.
On the ergonomic side the G500 has
had the ridge on the upper-right whittled down, making the mouse far
more comfortable--especially if you hold your middle finger on the right
mouse button (instead of the ring finger as some people do). This gives
your ring finger a much more natural place to rest. The palm rest also
feels a bit wider and raised, making the palm grip even better than the
G5. Thumb button placement is fine, though I preferred the larger G5
buttons. Sensitivity toggles have moved to the upper left, making
changes easier while using the index finger. Logitech has also blessed
us with a mouse wheel toggle (free spin/click) that is on the top of the
mouse instead of the bottom as they did on the G9. This is a huge plus
for me, as I run it in free mode while browsing and click mode when
gaming and I tend to alternate between the two regularly.
Performance-wise,
it's technically better than the G9 and noticeably superior to the G5.
The Setpoint software that is used with the G500 is also different from
that of the G5, allowing for more control over the mouse. For those
curious about performance in specific gaming genres I can't comment--I
play almost every game genre and feel this mouse excels at them all. I'm
also using it on a RAZER Goliathus Control mouse pad which is nice and
smooth without feeling like there's zero friction as I tend to like some
drag on my mouse.
One other note: The G5 weight cage will not
work in the G500. The cage in the G500 has been altered a bit; two
weight slots have been removed and the alignment track is gone. The G500
uses the same weights as the G5, however (1.7g and 4.5g).
I'd
recommend this mouse to any G5 owner without hesitation. If you're a
claw-grip user you could still use it, but the G9x is probably a better
choice for that style of usage.
A keeper
For my medium-small-sized
hands this mouse fits like a glove - the shape and base-weight makes it
really comfortable. I tend to mouse with my wrist stationary, using only
fingers to move around. This requires a slightly shorter grip around
the mouse. Even so, left and right buttons are clickable almost as far
back as half the mouse with little perceivable click-pressure change.
Having
basically 10 completely programmable buttons is a godsend for
click-casting in World of Warcraft. Paired with the SetPoint software,
it's a no-brainer. Although I'd agree with 'Ruebarb' about the both the
DPI & middle buttons.
DPI buttons are small and might be hard
to reach for small hands in a gaming situation. And the middle button
requires far more directly straight-down, forceful click than the
left/right scroll-click, making it better suited for less-used
spells/functions.
Conversely, the left/right scroll-click is
dead-on perfect. I find them as natural to use as any other "normal"
mouse-button.
The cluster of three buttons on the left side is a
great idea. I like the arrangement. And the toggle-able hyper-scroll
middle button makes for quick work of long page-scrolling.
To
wish for anything it'd be more ergonomic alternative buttons for DPI
& left-side - something that makes for more hand-position variety in
a "twitch" gaming situation. I'd prefer button-shaping akin to
Microsoft's Intellimouse Optical side buttons - lending toward slightly
larger/elongated and rounder.
That said, the detractors are minor
- this is possibly the best mouse I've used for gaming.
Great Gaming Mouse
I previously used a G7, and
loved the mouse. Now the G500 is amazing to me, the ability to program
all of the button with macros is awesome for gaming. The scroll wheel
pushes left or right, which are the best buttons I found for gaming,
along with the lower DPI and back buttons, all right there under your
fingers. The shape is very comfortable, the textured side is great. The
hyper scrolling is great, nice feature for the web, easy to turn on and
off with the location of the button.
The cons: Well if you push
in the scroll button as a command button for gaming, the mouse rarely
gets it correct, it seems to think I pushed it left or right. Since I
can't keep guessing if the mouse will perform the correct command in
gaming, I'm not able to use the button, which I'm a bit disappointed
about, which gives this 5 star mouse a 4. Maybe something a driver
update will fix.
This mouse is large and I have small hands, so
when gaming I can not reach the Up DPI, forward, or "macro" buttons
without having to move my entire hand position on the mouse, so for me
making them not useful for gaming. I'm sure others users may not have
this problem.
