For ages I used an old Logitech Mouseman Wheel, which I don’t think they make anymore. It wasn’t until a year ago that I got an optical mouse. My girlfriend had a Logitech Optical mouse but got a new one so gave it to me. It works fine for me. Until one day browsing Fatwallet I saw a post about an Amazon.com deal for the Logitech G5 and G7. After rebates they would be $25 and $16, plus I had $19 in Amazon gift certificates. I thought it was a good deal so I bought both. I’ve decided to use the cordless G7 and give the G5 to my bro. They are pretty nice. Both are pretty much the same except the G5 has weights and the G7 is cordless. By weights I mean there’s a little cartridge that goes in that you can customize with little weight things. I don’t know if it really helps any but whatever. The G7 is cordless and comes with 2 lithium batteries with a charger. I don’t know how well the batteries work yet. Only other difference is the feel of the mouse. The G5 has a rubbery grip texture while the G7 is smooth plastic. Both allow on the fly sensitivity switching. If you notice the two small buttons below the wheel, that’s what changes the setting so you can go from fast motion to slow motion during a game. I guess it would help with sniping. The mice are also laser instead of optical. It’s supposed to be 2000 dpi, which is crazy, but I can’t really tell any difference. I remember having to use a hack software for my old Mouseman to get it to 200 dpi.
