Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse Scroll Wheel (Accessories)

Customer Review

As a longtime user of the Logitech MX 518, G5 and G9 refresh I'm already very experienced when it comes to gaming products from Logitech and so I was curious to see what would bring the G500. With my G5, I was actually fully satisfied; I saw it as the perfect mouse.
But after a while, my penchant for high-end gaming hardware prevailed over pure reason and I ordered the G500.
And in fact, I was not disappointed: Logitech has actually managed to again out and improve the qualities of a piece G5.
This is for me due primarily to the further optimized ergonomics of the mouse - nothing is more important than the feeling that the mouse 'well in hand' is. And that meets the G500 perfect: She sits like a glove, because Daumenauflauge and mouse buttons are opposite the G5 / MX518 widened again. In addition, a modified look of the control buttons (mouse wheel forward and backward), I review mostly positive. The mouse wheel now dominates as the G9, which unfortunately was a complete slap in the water from an ergonomic point, the function of the free roll, what the scan long documents easier. Unlike the G9, this mode can now be activated at the top of the mouse - the idea with the button at the bottom was not particularly successful.
Opposite the G5 mouse wheel is now wider and slightly lower; the pressure points have become a little softer. I am neutral to slightly positive about because the softer screening allows a force gentler scrolling - you can even without the free rein to the mouse wheel "rush" to pass through a website, for example, in one fell swoop.
The pressure point of the keys is as always very pleasant and the clicking sounds now somewhat lower than in the G5. Technically and feel makes the G500 actually no space of criticism, except for small details, such that the wheel at times also to the side from slipping when you want to push down it from above. The criticized by some whistling or "buzzing" the mouse does exist. But I can reassure any potential buyer with normal Heard: It's so quiet that you can not hear it as long as one does not lift the mouse ear.
What I criticize in the G500 that are not smooth at least for me install the SetPoint software. The first time, the installation took nearly half an hour, and the mouse has not been detected by the software. Only after repeated restart of the PC and reinstall it went. That being said, however, the functionality of the latest version of SetPoint is impressive: Each key can be freely assigned and beyond, you can record macros and 5 individual levels of sensitivity for the superhuman laser sensor with not less than 5700 dpi.
Also positive are the imposable help overlays that explain the options in detail and this is a direct reference to the impact of adjustment on the game. (Example: As the mouse acceleration affects the feel, etc?)
Added together, the G500 so undoubtedly the new benchmark for gaming mice is, at least, if you like the shape of the MX518 / G5. (Otherwise, you can also G9 (x) View) Only one thing would be to me as a suggestion at heart: Logitech, let your top product but quiet look something noble! Although the look of dried rain water drops and burn also has a certain charm, but a Lamborghini or Ferrari can not be seen even in rust paint.
