Product Shot 1 The Pros:Ergonomic shape and placement of buttons, comfortable in the hand. High resolution laser sensor - 5700dpi, more than double the last generation G5. 10 programmable buttons.

The Cons:Lacks Logitech's latest Darkfield laser technology. Only 8KB of onboard storage, enough room for a single profile only. DPI race is silly - shows no real life improvements over 2000dpi.
