Is it worth me upgrading to a Logitech G5 from this??

I have a PC LINE Laser mouse that i've had for years..it only cost me £8 and it seems pretty good but i'd like the thumb buttons and also my friend says the G5 would blow it out the water anyway. What do you think?

PC LINE:
Interface USB Interface
No of Buttons 3
Cordless NO
Opitical NO
Laser YES
Scroll button NO
Ergonomic NO
Interchangeable Cover NO
Mac Compatible NO
DPI 1600
USB Connection YES
Connectivity USB
Shortcut button NO

yes as the g5 is laser and that will be optical response and accuracy will be far better

Read the FAQ - No linking to competitors so I would remove that before you go on holiday.

In anwser to your question, pop into a store and try it.

is that ok

It's got great reviews and I found it to be a great mouse when I tried it out in a retail store. Of course it's personal preference so I'd advise you to do the same before buying as well.

i love mine too, i have had various mice and have in the end bought 2 of these for the pc's at home.

Let's put it it this way, once you've tried the G5, there's no way you'll go back to the PC Line.

would 2000dpi be much of a difference than 1600dpi?

Get a MX518, is a good mouse and is cheaper.

DethThrasher · 14 Mar 2009 at 21:26

i looked up the mx518 and it has the same dpi as my current pc line one..so its not much better? i dont know anything about mouses lol

freddie64 · 14 Mar 2009 at 21:35

You cant compare a pcline to a mighty MX518.

Another vote for the G5. Worth every penny. Buy one you wont regret it mate

Adjustable weight tray is a nice touch.

Seems like 1600dpi was ok for you, get the 518 and save the £16, you still get the thumb buttons.

DethThrasher · 14 Mar 2009 at 21:49

yea 1600 is good for me but will i be any better with a 2000dpi? is it more accurate or what?

razer diamondback is a great mouse, but as for PCline vs G5 you will be amazed at the difference, the G5 really is a great mouse.
