CNET Reviews the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (rating: 8.3/10) and writes;
The other feature we love about the G5 is its sensitivity adjustment buttons. Depending on your screen resolution and your style of play, you may want to adjust the sensor of the mouse so that the cursor moves with appropriate speed across your screen…The bottom line: Logitech finally earns a CNET Editors’ Choice award with this update to its flagship gaming mouse. An extra thumb button, an updated laser sensor, and more convenient and flexible customization options than the competition make this mouse easy to recommend to any PC gamer.
CGonline Reviews the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (rating: 4.5/5) and writes;
Overall, the G5 is an excellent mouse with a great feel and good options. The $70 price tag should not get in the way of an outstanding laser-equipped mouse. The performance of the mouse is superb and allows for in-game DPI switching. A braided mouse cord and textured hand grips separate this mouse from the competition and give a high quality to its design. With all of these strengths, the lack of two thumb buttons may be the critical blemish in the design and will probably make or break the mouse in the eyes of hardcore gamers. If you can manage without that second thumb button and learn to use the tilt wheel, the Logitech G5 will perform brilliantly in its role of one of the best gaming mice around.

The ergonomics are decent, but until someone develops a way to make the shape of a mouse adjustable to each user, they are not perfect, and are not expected to be. The buttons are all easily accessed, and seem to have the right feel to click (not too hard, not too sensitive). Like mentioned above, the LED indicator could be in a better spot, such as closer to the front of the mouse in the gap between the thumb and index finger. That should make it visible to more people with different shaped hands.
TrustedReviews Reviews the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (rating: 9/10) and writes;
Once again Logitech has produced a first rate gaming mouse with features that you simply won’t find anywhere else. I thought it would be quite a while before I found a mouse better than the MX518, but I was wrong. If you’re serious about gaming, you need a weapon that can give you an edge – the Logitech G5 is that weapon.
