Does this mouse have the same clicking issue as the G500. i.e Sometimes it doesn't register a click, sometimes it double or triple clicks.

I haven't noticed it missing clicks or double/triple clicks. The only thing I noticed is that it will sometimes go to "sleep" when not in use, however, moving the mouse will bring it back.

yes the G500s has corrected that issue, as well as made it more sweat friendly

My husband says it does not have the same issue that the G500....sorry for the slow response I had to wait till tonight to ask him the question since the mouse was for him

Have not had a problem at all. I use this mouse for shooter games, I would have noticed that problem immediately and would have returned it.

The base G500 had problems that the G500s has, in my experience, corrected. Especially regarding the mouse-wheel/middle-mouse button problem. Still not as good as the G5, but it's worked well for me so far.

I don't know if this was a G500 issue, but the one issue I get a lot is when I middle click links it does not register properly and just scrolls the page all the way down. Not an issue I've ever had on any other mouse.Update: Okay I played around with the settings and found out the issue described above was due to the left and right click on the wheel being assigned to page up and down, apparently they can be easily clicked when quickly pressing middle mouse button. I unassigned them and it hasn't happened since.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

I have absolutely no problems with this mouse working on my Windows 8 set-up. It's the OS itself that I am having issues with.

I have been using this for over a year now. Think it's a motor skill/coordination issue for ease & speed. I find some text gets dropped at the end of drag or copy sometimes. I find for myself this hardware is much faster than the old mouse. Hope that helps you.

I know this is an old question, BUT IT is more then worth the price. I love this mouse I got it atleast 4 years ago and nothing has happened to it. And I use the crap out of it playing WoW.

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

My G5 is really glitchy right now due to the fact that my cat got into a vicious fight with the cord. So now I ordered the G9, and am still waiting for it to get here. From what I've heard, its better for claw grip users like me (your wrist stays on the mousepad and you use your fingers to move the mouse) as opposed to the G5 which I've heard is better for palm grip users (your wrist is elevated and your whole hand moves to move the mouse). To me, the G5 is a little too big and it took awhile to get used to the shape of it. Even after I've been gaming with it for several months, it still hurts my wrist in long gaming sessions.

Mine does not make any clicking noise. That definitely sounds like a defect to me.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have been using this mouse with Mists of Pandaria since launch, with no problems. Every button works correctly in-game. There has been only a couple of occasions where I have had to go into the Interface control panel (within Warcraft) and un-check and then re-check the "Detect World of Warcraft Mouse" button, but other than that, it has been issue-free.What exactly is your issue? Have you had issues mapping each button to the Key Bindings, or what difficulties are you experiencing?

I have never had that problem with this mouse. The buttons are nice on this mouse.

No they definitely have *not* fixed the double-clicking problem!!Since they no longer offer a matte top version of this mouse (just the sticky reflective glossy top), I have switched to the m560 model which is larger but has similar capabilities. That too will likely have the double-click issue after a few years, since Logitech still uses cheap unreliable micro-switches in their mice to save a few pennies in manufacturing.

From what I remember it did. Another thing I didn't like about this mouse was that it was cluttered with buttons, all in the wrong places. I returned it and got a G9X and I love it.

I had to go back to my g500 due to an issue with my g502. The g500 felt like a wet turd in my hand. Instantly went back to my g502 when it came in the mail.

I've had two Logitech M500s. The second one purchased in 2014 is definitely easier to use the middle mouse button. On the first mouse, it was too easy to accidentally press the Left and Right Scroll buttons on the mouse wheel when trying to use the middle mouse button. The second mouse is significantly better.

I just bought this mouse for my husband. We are avid gamers and he is a video game designer. The mouse does click when scrolling. Its a great mouse either way.

I've had no problems with mine. I have been working with it for almost a year. I bought it precisely for the center-click-scroll features and I love it.

Yeah it works just fine I use it with my macbook all the time with absolutely no issues I even game a bit with it. I've had mine for well over a year and I have had no issues with it at all I think the longevity of the mouse is really dependent of how well you take care of it.
