Saw an old Logitech G5 mouse online the other day, seller claimed it was incredibly well preserved and still works as well as the day he bought it... for ten dollars and with that rap I figure I may as well try it out. Has anyone had any good/okay/bad experiences with this mouse? And is there any reason why it would be inferior to a new gaming mouse in stores today, assuming no mechanical faults?
Not sure if it's the newer or older version of the G5 though any info's cool. I hear the cord frays after a while but it can be repaired so not too bad?
Cheers

G5 is a good mouse
and yes, the cord tends to get damaged after a while, but the cable is braided so it'll last much longer than the g400 on average

I switched mouse from a sensor placed to the right to a one in the midlle, it felt a little diferent but i guess you can get used to it.

I used a g5 for about 5 years with no problems. After that long the cable started to intermittently give out where it goes into the mouse. 5 years of heavy use is a pretty good lifetime if you ask me though.

Thanks guys, overall seems to be a few things to watch out for but apart from that it'll be great for me. I appreciate your help (:
