I am looking at getting either a G7 or G5 mouse from Logitech. Right now I use a Microsoft USB Optical Mouse that I like since it is really light and seems to be very accurate compared to other mice I have used.

I am curious, is the weight difference between the G7 and G5 alot? (some have said its annoying to pickup the G7 while scrolling a lot because of its weight and i tend to be one to light the mouse off the pad alot).

Also, is the only additional feature on the G7 the wireless and batteries?

Thanks in advance for help! (and yes i have used the search but have not come up with anything comparing the G5 and G7)
 
The are pretty much the same mouse only one is wireless

The G7 isnt heavy at all and is a great mouse. Personally I think the G5 is a better deal, 70 for a mouse is kind of steep
 
ya I agree it is expensive for a mouse.

The cord is just starting to anger me on my mouse :p

I found it at Newegg for 60$ though, so i might just keep looking around and see if i can find a good deal on one somewhere.
 
G5... cause i've never used both. G7 because you can show your mom.. "Look ma, no wires!"
 
They are basically the same mouse. If you don't want to deal with swapping out batteries every day and don't mind the cord, get the G5. If the cord gets in your way and you want wireless, get the G7. The G7 is light, much lighter than the mx1000 that it replaced so you shouldn't have problems with the weight.
 
Awesome, thanks for the input.

I have always loved simple mice (mainly MS ones), but I would like something that is wireless now and I do not really love the MS wireless mice.

Plus I have a G15 so the G7 would match it :p ;)
 
forgot to mention, if anyone has/finds a Carbon fiber G7 on sale or for a good price somewhere post about it here ;)
 
thanks, saw that one earlier, except i can get one for that same price at newegg :eek:
 
I have a G7. I've used the G5 and I like it better. The G5 has a textured surface so you get better grip, plus its firmware can be upgraded. I can't use my G7 on a func f30, but a G5 with an upgraded firmware can.
 
Has anyone used the new black version?

Supposedly the black has a better grip?
