Testing
As I played through the games and alternated surface, I found that I could not throw this mouse off track. Consistently, this mouse was able to track my movements despite the speed of the flick or move. Moreover, it was accurate to a fault. I say this only because my aim is not as finely tuned as others. Against 8 bots in Quake 3 I was only able to keep 60 point lead. However, for those of you who are so good that not a single bot would have scored, this mouse will be extremely accurate for you.


No matter what surface I played on, this mouse would effortlessly glide. The feet on the bottom are substantial, large, and very slick. This change in feet design is something that we have been waiting for. Mice in the MX series have consistently had cheap, small feet that would fall off, slide or get extremely dirty with time. The G series has been a big change in this department for Logitech. Both the G5 and the G3 are fitted with proper gaming mice feet. Thank you.


One of Logitech's selling points on this mouse is the ability to change the resolution with the click of a button. The logic behind this function is simple. While playing different roles in any game (i.e. Assault or Sniper), there may be a need for more speed or more accuracy. By adding this feature, they assume that while playing you will change the resolution lower when you get a sniper rifle so you have more control, and higher when you are an assault class so you have more speed. To date, I can't think of a single professional or amateur gamer that changes their resolution while in-game. However, I have been informed by some of our readers that some of them have been known to use this feature.

Personally, I never had. I have owned several top of line mice with this feature, and have never felt the need to use it. For the sake of this review, I started to. First, I set up a profile in the Logitech software. You can set up to five different resolutions. I only set two as I felt the need to only differentiate between open-air and closed-quarter combat. As I played through our test games, I noticed some things really quickly. This mouse provides only one button for the resolution changing. I had noticed this before, but I hadn't given it much thought. The problem with this rather than having + and - buttons, is that if you have more than 2 resolutions set, it becomes an issue as to where in the cycle you are. You see, the single button works like a cycle button. Every time you press it, it moves progressively higher. Once it hits your highest resolution, it starts progressing back to the lowest resolution. This also lacks the external meter the G5 had. This means that there is no at-a-glance method of checking what your resolution is or where in your resolution profile you are currently. Frustrating at times, once I had set up more than 2 resolution settings.
