    Best mouse yet
    By Bucky on September 16, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    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.    Read more ›

    Mouse Review + G5 comparison
    By P. Chan on February 24, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    The Logitech G500 is the successor to the G5 laser gaming mouse. It is a well constructed mouse and features all the bells and whistles most high-end mouses will offer. I also own a Logitech G5 and many questions aimed at the G500 are whether or not it is worth upgrading from the G5.

    Here are a list some of the differences and improvements that are on the G500:
    1) Relocation of the dpi increase/decrease buttons
    2) Scroll wheel is now dual-mode with a hyperfast scrolling feature
    3) Has an additional button on the side of the mouse
    4) Offers a maximum of 5700 dpi
    5) Weight cage now supports only 27 grams instead of 36 grams
    6) Weight cage no longer has an alignment track
    7) Orange lights that indicate the dpi setting is now red
    8) The thumb rest groove has been resculpted
    9) The G500 has a smooth finish on the mouse shell unlike the G5
    10) On-board memory, lets you save profiles so when you go from computer to computer you can plug-and-play.

    Pros/Cons

    Pros:
    -Better placement of the dpi increase/decrease buttons. It is now easier to change your dpi while gaming without awkwardly readjusting your hand position
    -Smooth finish makes cleaning easier and increases overall comfort
    -Hyperfast scrolling feature. Very useful when scrolling down through long documents or websites

    Cons:
    -When in click-to-click scrolling mode, the scrolling is a little too sensitive which can be troublesome if you are playing a first-person shooter that uses the scroll wheel to change weapons.

    Other Comments:
    -The three button cluster will vary from person to person. The buttons are placed very well for my hand.    Read more ›

    Unreliable Left Clicks
    By M. Schmitt on February 26, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I've had this mouse since last spring (2012), which is when I built a new gaming PC. Less than a year later, the left mouse button is registering double-clicks rather than single-clicks nearly half the time.

    Additionally, when using the mouse during FPS matches, I must remind myself not to grip it too tightly when steadying shots. Otherwise, I end up with wrist pain and a sore thumb resulting from the ledge on which you are supposed to rest your thumb. When playing a shooter I often let my thumb contact the desktop to help keep my aim steady, which causes the thumb rest to dig into my thumb. This mouse is definitely not designed for such a grip, and I will definitely not choose a mouse with a thumb rest when I purchase a replacement.

    Once I developed a much more relaxed grip, I liked this mouse very much. Unfortunately, the left mouse button is now faulty, and I think two stars is generous.

    A keeper
    By Fujislider on September 22, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    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.
