Logitech G500s

The Logitech G500s is a superb gaming mouse that combines a comfortable and customizable design with robust software to give you an edge.

If you're upgrading your gaming mouse, the G500s is your best wired option. By a longshot. Don't even look at the cheaper G400s.

Is the Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse a case of overkill?

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 was undoubtedly a success when it was released in 2003, and it was held in very high regard by enthusiasts and gamers alike. In fact, the same Logitech MX500 I purchased in Hong Kong more than half a decade ago still holds its own special place here at APH Networks in Calgary, Alberta. But performance was not the only reason why I liked it so much. It was the contoured shape of the shell that delivered a snug and comfortable fit, especially for a user such as yours truly who enjoys operating a mouse with my palm resting over its entire surface.

Its popularity led to the same basic design being carried over to the MX510 and MX518; when the laser sensor came along, the G5 and G5 V2 were also created.

Building upon the G5 V2 as aforementioned that received the highest mark ever awarded on APH Networks since May 2007, and has held that honor ever since for three years and counting, how will the Logitech G500 -- now with a even more powerful laser sensor, 'frictionless' scroll wheel, and onboard memory -- step up against its very well received predecessors?

The Logitech G500s updates a long-standing classic gaming mouse, keeping everything there is to love.

We recently tested the least-expensive member of Logitech's new G line, the G100s, and it impressed us enough to earn one of our Editor's Choice awards. Today, we have a look at the higher-tiered G500s. It's an altogether different animal compared to its less-pricey sister, so let's find out if...

For review we have Logitech's latest wired gaming mouse - the G500s, with extra features compared to the more expensive G700s it should be interesting.

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.

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.
