G-series Gaming Mice

[Infiltrator]

Hi. I have a history of logitech mice, and I think your MX518 was the best mouse ever. I'm a fairly competitive gamer, and let me tell you, the weight crap that you're pulling is absolutely RIDICULOUS. Do you even consult top gamers? Every single gamer that is even remotely competitive will tell you how the mouse has to be as light as humanly possible.

Reason for this is simple - sensitivities are typically low when it comes to competition, and a user has to pull up the mouse and scroll it repeatedly over the same surface to make sharp turns. A heavy mouse just hampers this ability to oblivion. Do you even realize this?

Just ask around. The G500 is pretty heavy for a gaming mouse when I pull out the weight carrier and all the weights, thanks to all the metal parts (like the wheel).

For whatever next series you're planning to make, for the love of God, don't put in weights or so many needless metal parts.

I disagree.  I play a lot of FPS's and I find a certain amount of weight to be comfortable.  I got pretty big hands and I need a certain size and weight in my mouse otherwise I feel I'm overshooting.  My friends that have upgraded to the G5 also agree and enjoy customizing their weight settings.

I have to disagree with this too. I'm not a dainty little guy and I don't need a dainty little featherweight mouse. If I can barely feel it in my hands, then I toss it around the mouse pad too much and can't aim at anything. However, if I put just over half the weights in the tray and give it some beef, then I can aim very precisely and quickly My wife, on the other hand, doesn't even weigh 100lbs and she prefers her mouse to have almost no weight to it at all.... which is about what the G9x weighs when empty. I'd say that Logitech has hit the nail on the head when it comes to gaming mouse design. In fact, there's only one other mouse I ever considered purchasing, which is the Razor Naga... and at the end of the day I decided I didn't really need a mouse with 12 thumb buttons.
