Logitech G7 and G5?!

I'm shopping for a new mouse and keyboard since my current little Diamondback is a acting up. Poor thing....I almost don't want to let it go..:cry:

Now, I was looking around logitech's site after taking look at the G15 keyboard. I saw that promotion for the G5 Laser Mouse from logitech on gamespot, and I thought why not. It brings me to this page:

Or Linked for the lazy-

Now, on it, there is the G5 Laser Mouse, and the G7 mouse?1 What the crap... why is the g5 the newer edition and yet there is a g7 with almost the same design? Could anyone clarify the differences between the two products and why they are promoting the g5 instead of the g7? From the names, I can only tell one difference, in that the g7 is presumably cordless. And the G5 has no product page.

Weird why didn't call it like G9 or something that makes sense in the product line. Any ideas when the wireless edition of this new g5 will arive, and with the same paint scheme and features?aveman1

The G7 mouse is by far the worst mouse I have ever had or used. The mouse before this one was also a logitech and it sucked batteries like a *****. I don't understand why people hype the G5.
Just to give Logitech a little plus... I do use a keyboard that runs for months under absurd use for months.


You have been warned.HostileEffect

" no wonder u hate the G7... look at your system...what kinds of games do you play? can u even play games on that system? "
Counterstrike: Source, Farcry, World of Warcraft, Half-life 2, etc all are on medium to high settings except WoW. My computer is fine, the mouse freezes up just sufing the internet.
Personally I think I would have been better off with a cheap $4.99USD mouse.HostileEffect

Id go for the G7, i have its great.

 The battery life is fine.  Some people are (apparently) idiots and either dont charge the back up battery, or ignore the "BATTERY CRITICAL" message, so to know when to swap batteries.

 The batteries are hot swap, meaning they pop in and out etc. 

Great design for my hand.  I have large hands and it feels very comfortable, unlike Razers because they are much too small for my hands.

1 side button doesnt bother me, and its in a Vertical, going counterclockwise.  This isnt possible with a wire on the end of the mouse.

if he is in fact able to run any of those games he mentioned on medium settings smoothly, it must be at a resolution of 800x600 or less. my old comp downstairs has a geforce4 ti 4600 which is a superior card to the fx5200 and can only run far cry on medium at around 25 fps and WoW at around 30 on lowest settings. so please take ur lying somewhere else.SLI_Yoshi

Ummm...his sigzombiefruit

Look into the Razer Copperhead you'll be glad you did.
