  • Abstract:  <b>Spec:</b> Film scanner (35 mm), Desktop, Single-pass, Hi-Speed USB, 5400 dpi x 5400 dpi<br> <b>Good:</b> Customizable weight and sensor resolution let you tailor the feel of the mouse to different activities; 2,000dpi maximum-resolution laser sensor provides the highest sensitivity available.<br> <b>Bad:</b> Designed for righties; only one thumb-side button.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> We cant say that weve ever wished our mouse weighed just 1.5 grams more, but if youre a gamer with the accuracy of an Army sniper--or hope to become one--you will appreciate the Logitech G5 Laser Mouses vast customizability.<br>

  • All things said and done, Logitech's G5 is an instrument of victory. Between the slick pads, laser precision, excellent grip, tilt wheel, profile switching, and DPI indicator, there is no doubt in my mind that the G5 will deliver performance to those w...
