Hey all,
5.5 years later the G500 is apparently starting to die. Seems to be an intermittent connection in the left mouse button making it very difficult to drag and drop anything or move windows.
It's been a good mouse over that time though (feels like I just bought it).
I've been a fan of Logitech mice for some time now. My mouse previous to this one was an MX500.
They last for a while, so I can't even remember what I had before that. May have been a Microsoft Optical mouse or something.
Anyway, I was just perusing Logitech's mice, and it looks like they have changed a bit. The new styling looks neither visually appealing nor comfortable to me. The G502 Proteus Core looks more like it belongs in the JJ Abrams Star Trek respin, than on my desk... I liked that the G500 was subtle enough to not scream "Razer Boomslang"
The MX500 and G500 were very similar in shape and feel and I liked them. Is there something similar out there now that anyone is aware of?
Essentially, what I think I want is a gaming mouse, that doesn't really look like a gaming mouse, and is more focused on ergonomics than appearances.
Maybe I'll just find a G500 on ebay? Then I ought to be good until 2020
Thanks,
Matt
