I had to replace it because it kept 'disconnecting' in winXP. Now this one is doing the same thing only not as often yet , but after only 5 months ownership, the first one started this behaviour after a year or so. It's the mouse, not the ports, else this would have happened sooner i. Also all my other usb devices are not experiencing any problems whatsoever. And the original mouse has been tested on the other three computers in the house, does the same on all.
It's totally random, it can work fine for hours, other days, it'll disconnect every few minutes. I won't say I won't buy another Logitech mouse, but I won't be buying another G5. Overall Review: This problem might be due to 'overuse' as the computer it's connected to sees between hours a week of gaming 3 gamers in the family. Pros: Upgrading from a MX that was a bit worn, this one seems already worth it.
Quality is overall significantly nicer, buttons have a much better feel. Tracking is noticeably better going from regular optical to laser. Adjustable weight is also a nice luxury, and the implementation works alright.
Awesome paintjob, gives good traction. Cons: -Middle click is a little weird, deeper than the , slightly less responsive -Side scrolling, I don't like it on my mice, but that is just my preference. Overall Review: I have mine set up with almost maxed out weights, with most of the weight distributed towards the bottom rear, shifting the center of gravity closer to my wrist, which seems to be comfortable. Pros: I don't know what kind of shrunken shriveled little hands the other reviewers have, but this thing is not the behemoth they are making it out to be.
You'd think they were munchkins trying to palm a basketball with their reviews. The size is just right and I'm of an average to small hand size. The feel is the other gripe these people keep talking about but i couldn't picture wanting something smooth to keep clutched in my palm for hours at a time. The frog like skin makes it much easier to hold and not feel tormented by. Pros: Everything. The shell makes it look pretty cool like it's made from lightning or something.
On-the-fly sensitivity buttons, both Forward and Back side buttons a con on the G7 , custom weight-settings I have all the 4. SetPoint software allows customization of buttons, which I really like. The pads on the bottom won't wear off over time my MX's glued-on pads wore off after 2 years of use ; these pads are built into the actual mouse, not glued on, so they won't fall off; and yet they still allow good movement over mousepads and other materials.
Cons: Two very small things. The scroll wheel feels worn out. I liked the G7 because when you scrolled, it was very clear when you scrolled it made a soft but audible click. The G5's wheel feels rubbery, so it's slightly more difficult to scroll with, and there is no clear clicking sound. A very small con, but it was something I liked from the MX and G7.
Second, the shell with the lightning pattern feels really dry against my hand and is a little awkward to get used to. I liked the smooth plastic texture of the MX and the G7 and wish I could get the older version of the G5 that was smooth like that. It's not really a con, but more of a personal preference. Only other thing I could say is that Newegg dropped it to free shipping the day after I bought it, but that was my fault for not being patient; just bad timing.
I used to have to hit the on-the-fly sensitivity buttons to change it back which is why those buttons got worn out on my G7 , but I realized that SetPoint has a setting to "recognize game mode" or something like that, under the Mouse settings. Disable that setting, and it won't happen anymore. Other than that, Logitech once again makes a top-quality product. This is my 10th product I bought from them; mice, keyboards, headsets, speakers, you name it, I've bought it.
They really know how to make good products. Got this mouse with a rebate to knock the price down, and Newegg had great shipping as always. If you like Logitech products and think the G9 is still too expensive, get this mouse. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.

Norma R. Verified Owner. While the G5 improved upon the MX with a vastly improved sensor engine, software adjustable support for USB report rates up to reports per second, improved dpi selection, and better surface textures, it was the lack of a second thumb button that was really perplexing to us.
It was so perplexing that we never really considered an upgrade to the G5 was essential. As we were in the middle of preparing for our upcoming micro-ATX extravaganza Yes, you'll finally see it in the very near future! Actually, we have a mouse from RAZER that is awfully close also, but for the time being our thumbs are happy to have the second button again.
Click to enlarge As we looked over the product packaging there was only one item that stood out to us. Logitech's marketing department plastered a "Now with 2 Thumb Buttons" label on the front of the "new" G5 box and apparently called it a day. Of course, we prefer not to use the word "new" when describing this mouse and apparently Logitech agrees with our sentiments. Unless you are able to physically view the two mice side by side then it would be difficult to determine which revision will land at your doorstep as the official description remains the same for both mice.
However, we have noticed that most major e-tailors are now providing additional product details and generally there still is a price differential between the two units.
We still recommend making sure which version the vendor will ship to you. In fact, when we originally ordered two of these of mice, both versions arrived although we paid for the version. Click to enlarge The Logitech G5 Laser Mouse pictured on the left is meant as the direct replacement for the original G5 pictured on the right.
The overall design of the revised G5 is strictly evolutionary in nature with minor changes to graphics design and a return of the second thumb button we were enamored with in the MX series.
Both mice share the same laser engine specifications with a dots-per-inch dpi optical sensor and the ability to change dpi settings on the fly. Also retained from the original version is the same tunable weight cartridge system and braided USB cord. Let's take a closer look at the features of the revised G5 laser Mouse and see how it performs.
