Abstract: To register how deeply disappointed I am by Logitech's G500 gaming mouse, you have to understand how much I really love Logitech's gaming mice. A Brief History Lesson The original MX500 is the sliced bread of mousing ergonomics: The form factor is...
Retains mostly the same shape as the G5 , Setpoint software allows excellent customisation
Macro editor is second rate , Only one profile can be stored on the mouse
If you loved the G5, you'll continue loving the G500, the natural evolution of Logitech's classic gaming mouse. Though Microsoft brings stiff competition in the form of the Sidewinder X8, which may be more appealing to some....
The G500 has very similar features to its big brother, the G9x, despite the £20 difference in price. Where they differ is in ergonomics and flexibility. For gamers who utilise a palm-grip when gaming the G500 is perfect. For claw and finger-grip us...
If Logitech married the ergonomics of the G500 with the looks and features of the G9x it would have the ideal mouse. Provided you're willing to put up with its minor flaws and limitations, however, the G500 is still an excellent and affordable effort....
Customisable resolution 2005700 DPi on the fly, Customisable buttons, Weights, Feels very comfortable, Nice positioning of DPi switching buttons and Scroll Wheel toggle
Doesn’t look great, Getting up and running with the SetPOint software took me too long, Scroll wheel a little oversensitive, Not keen on the design of thumb buttons, quite easy to press wrong one by accident
Has all of the same features we love on the older G5 Laser Mouse; dual-mode scroll wheel; on-board memory stores custom profiles; sensor has ludicrously high maximum dpi
Microsoft's similarly priced SideWinder X8 offers a different set of compelling features
There's much to like about Logitech's G500 Gaming Mouse, but, with Microsoft's SideWinder X8 offering a different set of compelling features, gamers have some choices to make. The G500 will appeal to performance-driven shooter fans. The choice is less...
Scroll wheel can turn freely or clickbyclick, Resolution can be customised from 200 to 5700 dpi, Reporting speed can be customised from 125 to 1000 Hz, Macros and profiles stored in the mouse, A new button exists under the thumb
Its style still wont please everybody, We would have liked some extra hardware touches like ceramic feet or sensor that works on glass, Driver looks very odd, even when youre used to it
Abstract: Engineered for advanced precision and control. That was the slogan used on the retail box of Logitech's MX500 high performance optical mouse way back in the day (Funny how I still remember it so clearly so many years later, haha). The Logitech MX500 wa...

When it comes to the performance of the Logitech G500, it was quite impressive. The mouse was able to perform well on all levels of testing that I put it through including the precision testing, the customization testing, the comfort testing, and the ...
