Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse: Battlefield 2142 Edition
Customer Review: Not Great, Not Bad, Just Mediocre
Summary: 3 Stars
I picked up a couple of the special edition G5's on the clearance rack. Too good to pass up and I have always been a big fan of Logitech's mice.
The Good
Customized weighting of the mouse
The feel of the mouse like the Logitech mice of this time is great
The mediocre
I have never once had the need to adjust the senistivity
The teflon cord is not really a big deal
I think the left button could be more sensitive...
The Bad
The wheel button is very wonky. Not only for accidentally toggling left and right, but also up and down. If you do not hit it just right... and I think the build quality of this model is subpar so the mechanical part of the mouse is not very solid.
One side button. Not too bad, you can program all the other buttons so a forward function can be in the mix.
Thoughts
There are better mice out there (like the final rev of the G5 with two side buttons). Stay away from this one.
Customer Review: Nice mouse....but..
Summary: 3 Stars
...what I didn't like about it was the positioning of the 4th and 5th finger. They would end up being on a slant...half on/half off. After a couple hours of gaming, my hand was sore. For now I am using a standard $10 Microsoft optical mouse where both of those fingers are on the mouse pad..much more comfortable. The ideal comfort mouse is the Microsoft optical ergonomic wireless mouse...except the batteries going dead at the worse moment. I gave it a a middle of the road setting of a 3 stars due to comfort. However when playing Battlefield 2142, it was very nice being able to change the dpi on the fly. The wights were also very nice being able to customize how well it slides over the mouse pad.Customer Review: Logitech G5 Battlefield: Good

This mouse works pretty well. I love the changing of sensitivity on the fly during games. The click wheel is a little too sensitive, or its just not grooved enough for a clean scroll every time during a gaming session. The Battlefield logo is probably the reason I got it for so cheap, but I guess I don't ever see it when I'm sitting at the computer ;)Customer Review: Totally unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
I am now on my second G5 gaming mouse. It is not the Battlefield 2142 model with the graphics but still the same mouse. The first one refused to work out of the box. I spent hours online researching the problem. I found another computer to test it on and also another mouse to verify my USB ports were working OK on my computer. I finally took it back and got an exchange. The second one worked for all of two weeks and then went dead. It lights up like the first one but will not move the pointer. I would not recommend this mouse to anyone unless they are willing to spend the time and hassle to buy then take it back for a full refund. I am sure it must work for some but two in a row is a record for me. It does feel and operate very well when it works although I did not get a chance to play with different configurations of weights. The weights seem more like a gimmick to me but I could be convinced with experience and feedback from other users.Customer Review: Why would they put the games name on the mouse when it's not compatable?!?!
Summary: 1 Stars
Lately my game of choice has been 2142 and I picked up the G5 after my mates who are ALL Quake players swear up and down about it.
Turns out the G5 gaming mouse is not compatable with 2142. How stupid are these guys to put a game logo on the mouse and it's not compatable with!
