Logitech G - G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse

G500 have nice design, but buttons are prone to die soon (also replacements). It was when I move to Razer.

I think i use the g500? It's the Logitech MMO mouse. Use the side buttons or don't, but that's a quality large mouse. I still find myself doing a mini claw when I prefer to palm, but as a large handed fella, we take what we can get

My G500 is still going strong - bought it in 2010 or so. It’s been relegated to my work laptop but that’s only because I wanted a wireless mouse for gaming.

G500, not sure how old it is, at least 10 years and still good. Its never needed charging or anything....

Once I found the perfect fitting mouse for me, I bought a lifetime supply of them. Logitech g500. I still have like 10

Actually, my original g502 proteus (first edition) wired still works today.after 11-12 years And if works flawlessly too, the cable is a little beat up My 19 year old g500 also still works and looks brand new, but this one been unused for many years

[Logitech G500](https://imgur.com/YNxdc9J)! Loved it, had a little rack to put weights into, an on/off-able free scroll wheel, the sides were textured a little rough for better grip. I'd buy another one if they made them again just for the nostalgia.

I also recommend the Logitech G-series and they're so ergonomically comfortable that at this point I'll never go back. I've had only three since 2007 (G500, G500s, and G502) and all are still working. Technically, I've had to re-tension the the OMRON switches multiple times in the G500 & G500s, but I blame that more on OMRON switches than the mouse itself. And I've never found an appealing enough non-OMRON product that seems worth switching to. OMRON switches are what cause the double-click problem or the problem where holding click doesn't work. I blame it on either humidity or just needing to re-tension the hook. Usually, it's about 3-5+ years before they need to be re-tensioned, which ends up being kind of a patience/dexterity test to fix the first one every time (30+ tries). But after you get the hang of it, the others can usually be fixed in the few tries. So keep the ones that 'fail' and after you have a few, they're totally worth fixing and cycling through repaired ones until repeating the process.

Agreed. The G502 is still king of the "compromise-between-gaming-and-productivity-features" category for me, mostly due to its mechanically toggled scroll wheel. Besides weight, the only other feature that I consider missing is detachable/replaceable cable for the wired version, especially if they're coming out of the box with these cheap non-braided cables. It would also help if they had better QC to prevent chatter-prone switches, although the one I'm currently using is apparently one of the lucky ones (but my previous G500 and G500S both ran into chatter issues). The only real non-Logitech competition I've seen so far are Razer's Basilisk series (heavier and the scroll wheel toggle is software controlled iirc) and Keychron's MX Master clone (no wired-only option and typical Chinese after-sales support).

Still need a Logitech G5 or G500 type Mouse because the other ones are not as big nor comfortable. Also if you have your hand in that position of the claw without a big enough Mouse it'll cause your hand in forearm to cramp really bad and it's terrible
