Logitech G5 at 2560x1440 screen resolution: any good?

[MichaelZ]

Hi.
I'm thinking to buy this mouse for my new PC (which I should get in a couple of weeks). I've had my DELL U2711 panel for almost a year but all this time it's been set to 1600X900. Once I get the new computer, naturally I want to set the monitor to full resolution. I have never even seen such resolution with my own eyes, so I don't have any 'feel' of how the mouse would travel across such enormous distance. The only reason I'm posting this is that the G5 has (only) 2000 dpi of resolution when other mice out there can go up to 6000. I'll be using this mouse for normal desktop work and a lot of Photoshop, that's why I liked the on-the-fly dpi change option. My hands are fairly small and I like to think that I'm pretty good with them in the sense that I can handle "precise" stuff. I don't like moving my mouse a lot, it slows me down and wears me out. I want to be moving my mouse in a small area, yet it has to travel all the way across such huge screen. A "multiplier" won't do, because I hate it when a mouse just skips over lots of pixels to make up for low resolution.. I wonder if 2000 dpi is enough in this case
So, guys, is this the right mouse for me?
Thanks!

Depends on the game.

For example, in Counter-Strike Source you have an option to read raw input from the mouse, and increase sensitivity, all with no mouse acceleration.

Also, DPI does not make a good mouse. Higher doesn't mean better. The G5 has a good sensor with no silly issues like the philips twin eye (aka some Razer branded mice along with others) where if you lift up the mouse the cursor drops to the bottom left of the screen (i think it was)

I don't play games

Thank you for your input, you gave me another reason to stop considering any of the Razer models. However, I will not be playing any games with this mouse. I realize that this is a gaming mouse but I like it for the features such as: adjustable dpi at hardware level, customizable buttons and adjustable weight. I also liked that it comes with software that can assign fully customizable "profiles" on per-application basis that can be loaded automatically. I'll be doing a lot of photoshop work for which I think that I can really benefit from customizable buttons and decrease in sensitivity (for more precision), however, mostly I'll be doing regular desktop work. Browsing the web, sorting out my files and just taking care of my PC.
I would really like to get some input from someone who's used this particular model (the new one) at 2560x1440 desktop resolution. Is the 2000dpi resolution enough for moving the mouse about an inch and with that covering the entire desktop, while at the same time being able to move the cursor 1 pixel at a time? I know the surface is important and that's why I'll probably be getting a dedicated mouse pad.: any recommendations?
Thanks.
