Logitech G5 vs Raptor Gaming M2

helmie · 03-07-2006, 05:22 PM

Hi,
My mouse broke last night, and im having to use a really really crap £1.50 mouse at the moment.

So i want to buy a new one, and i was going to get a Logitech G5. But then i seen this:

Raptor Gaming M2 Mouse

Resolution adjustable in steps (400dpi up to 2400dpi)
3 weight adjustments possible (110gr., 120gr., 130gr.)
8 Buttons with mousewheel
Special Design for right-handed use
Soft-Touch surface
2 sets of additional mouse sliders
Acceleration up to 20g
2,5 m very flexible USB cable

And the G5:

Logitech G5 Mouse

Item : Logitech G5 2000dpi Laser Optical Mouse
Brand/Model : Logitech
Tracking Mode : Optical
Wireless : No
Tracking Resolution (Optical only) : 2000/800/400dpi (User Selectable)
Docking Station : N/A
Rechargeable : N/A
Number of Buttons : 7
Scrollwheel : Yes with Tilt
Connectivity : USB
Weight (kg) : 2.00

So by my calculations. the Raptor has more buttons, better DPI, and all the other features that the lovely G5 has.

Then theres the price. The G5 is a full £20 more expensive in some places. What makes the G5 so more expensive?

Should I get the Raptor?
