Logitech has always been a trusted name in electronics, hasn’t it? We are all aware that their input devices are top-notch, but what about their gaming gear? That’s when the good times begin. Consider the Logitech G500s Laser Mouse—it’s wired, so there’s no latency, and it’s feature-rich, so you can take your fragging to the next level. In this review, I will explain why this mouse deserves a long-term residence in your office.

    Pros & Cons

    Style: Cozy Coziness Meets Wild Charm

    The G500s seems to be your run-of-the-mill gaming mouse at first look, but then you’ll notice those bright stripes that are yelling, “I mean business!” Logitech seems to have given its previous G500 a caffeine boost and a new coat of paint. That form? Complete ease for those who are right-handed. Those textured side grips? A mastermind. Their grip is just right, preventing your thumb from slipping mid-headshot without being so coarse that you feel like you’re clutching cheese graters. Think of them as the cordial cousin of sandpaper.

    Although it is somewhat larger than other mouse I have used (I’m referring to you, Razer DeathAdder), I did not have any hand tightness after an hour of playing Overwatch. I’m satisfied. The scroll wheel, too? It can change its appearance with the push of a button, allowing you to peruse Reddit with effortless scrolling or exchange weapons with gratifying click-click accuracy.

    Because Everybody Is Different, Personalization Is Key
    This is where the G500s really stand out. You may access the concealed compartment for weights by turning it upside down. To adjust the weight, you receive twelve little metal pieces—six heavy and six light. To make my mouse feel like a brick (just joking), I poured in all the hefty ones. Find your perfect blend by experimenting. An expert piece of advice: If you find yourself often lifting the mouse, try shifting your weights to the back of your chair.

    Are those buttons? They’re all playing in an orchestra. Ten, precisely. Standard left/right clicks, a DPI switcher (which we’ll get to in a little), and forward/backward thumb buttons. The show-stopper? That thumb button that hasn’t been designed for use. I set mine up to do damage by striking with the ground, so I can strike a zombie in the face without having to move an arm.

    Smooth Operator: Performance


    We should discuss DPI. Unless you’re playing on an IMAX screen, the G500s’ maximum setting of 8200 is too much. However, that impromptu change? A godsend. Think about this: While sniping in Valorant, you must maintain pinpoint accuracy, but suddenly, an enemy appears on your flank. You can make the pointer go across the screen as if it were on espresso with the touch of a single button. No kinks.

    Keeping tabs? Even on my wobbly desk (thanks, housemates). How about the clicks? Crisp and somewhat resistant to prevent unintentional misfires. However, I longed for the satisfying click of a mechanical switch—the omron switches made by Logitech are sturdy, but they don’t have the same pop as, instance, a Razer mouse.

    The Weirdness: Not Every Rainbow Is Equal

    Well, let’s not ignore the obvious: the design. You see those racing stripes—gray and white? A 2005 sports automobile is what they shout. What my friend dubbed it was “try-hard chic.” It may not go with your RGB-lit setup if you’re into minimalist gear, but I’m not upset about it. Furthermore, the program? The Gaming Software from Logitech is functional, but it can’t compare to the iCUE from Corsair. You may have to go into the menu a little to remap the buttons.

    Old Dog, New Tricks: The Final Call


    Have the G500s been game-changers? No way. However, it is an excellent update on an old favorite. This is perfect for you if you’re looking to upgrade from a fossil mouse or if you need customization without spending a fortune. The sniper button and aircraft-grade aluminum frame of the Corsair M65 keep it in my heart, but used, it’s around $50. Getting a G500s is a deal. Who knows? Maybe you could conceal those stripes with a sticker.

    Final reflection: In terms of comfort, accuracy, and longevity, Logitech hit the mark. It’s just like that dependable friend who never fails to bring pizza and a six-pack. Subtle, yet reliable every time.
