Logitech G500 Review

Several years after the inital release of the G5 it’s successor, the G500 has arrived delievering best perfomance to the gamers. The main features of the new mouse are,
- 10 programmable buttons!
- Advanced precision, up to 5700dpi!
- Dual-mode scrolling wheel, a very anticipated improvement!
- On-board memory for maintaining your macros when you’re not behind your own computer!
They’ve managed to make the new mouse more comfortable by adding width to it so it feels more convenient in your hand - especially if you’re playing with palm grip. I wouldn’t say that the old mouse was bad but it certainly wasn’t that good! The dual-mode scrolling wheel really is a much appreciated feature as it grants you smooth scrolling through web sites and yet allows you to change your weapons in an FPS with ultimate precision. For the extra buttons I didn’t find much use, especially for the one located between back & forth button but I guess the extra buttons are aimed towards MMORPG players for holding their macros.
The price, ranging from about 59$-69$ ain’t the smallest one but its certainly worth it. Of course there are mice from Razer that compete with it but they’re always very specific and might not suit your hand while the G500 is more universal. I hope to test out the new Steelseries Xai and Kinzu soon to find out how well they perform against this mouse.
Overall I can only reccommend it as I didn’t find any major weak spots during my one-week testing period!
this is cool i need to get one
