Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse review: corded fun

Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse review: corded fun

By: Mike  In: Accessories and Peripherals  Updated: Dec 8, 2011

What does one need more than everything when gaming? A good pointing device. Accurate, right weighted, comfortable to your fingers (which is important too, if you like to play for hours), capable of delivering the best time of response. The best mouse for gaming, that’s our target! Is the Logitech G500 gaming mouse what we search? Let’s take a look and see!

Let’s start with the DPI value: up to 5700 dots per inch and add that to laser technology that this mouse provides. Now that’s precise! The onboard memory is also important, it remembers your settings for your favorite games, so you won’t have to change them all the time!

The Logitech G500 gaming mouse is right handed designed. It has ten programmable buttons and it allows you to control the gear’s sensitivity by switching the DPI value at your convenience. Another very nice thing is the option of customizing the mouse’s weight (up to 27 grams). In fact, the only flow that I have found here is the wire that might give you the feeling of somehow restricted freedom, but the good thing is that a wired mouse is more reliable than a wireless one.

In terms of performance…wow! This mouse is extremely accurate, precise, as fast as you are when changing options/weapons/sensitivity, it’s got a memory of its own, it’s just great! Although it is middle to small sized, this thing gives you the feeling you want with the weight settings. Other than that, the  Logitech G500 gaming mouse is a splendid tool for web surfers too. One can enjoy a dual mode scrolling or you can just scroll faster than the speed of sound with the hyper fast scrolling.

How does it work? Quite easy. First of all, it is USB powered. It is compatible with Vista, XP or Windows 7 and you have to download the software from the company’s website and install it (if you want to configure, as it works in apps just fine without any installed software). It might sound complicated, but I assure you it is not.

Should you buy this mouse? Whether you are passionate gamer or master in web surfing, yes this mouse is definitely worth a lift out of the store and attached to your PC.

The price of the Logitech G500 gaming mouse is of nearly 60 dollars. Is the best gaming mouse? Definitely one of the best ones! Buying it is a purchase that not only I recommend, but I also congratulate because it does offer a great experience even though it is expensive, if compared to a regular mouse, in my opinion this is one of the best deals you can get when it comes to gaming mice [see more gaming mices here]!
