Reviewed on September 8, 2009There's quite a lot to like about Logitech's new Gaming Mouse G500, but with a competing mouse from Microsoft offering its own set of features, gamers now have some choices to make. The G500 will appeal to performance-driven shooter fans. The choice is less clear for other kinds of PC gamers.TAGS:Logitech, Razer, mouse, gamer, wheel, games, Microsoft Corp., PC
Reviewed on October 11, 2007Usually we're fans of Logitech's gaming mice, but its highest-end G9 Laser Mouse is expensive, overly complex, and lacks the ergonomic thought we've come to expect. If you like to brag about dot-per-inch limits, perhaps the G9's 3,200dpi laser will be enough to sell you, but for the price, we expect the design to match.TAGS:Logitech, mouse, grip, attachment, games, design, button
Reviewed on October 4, 2007Microsoft took almost every popular feature of various high-end gaming mice and wrapped it into one highly customizable product. The design could use a little refinement, but otherwise the new Sidewinder Gaming Mouse would be a worthy addition to your PC gaming arsenal.TAGS:Logitech, mouse, weight, gamer, laser, games, Microsoft Corp., LCD, button
Reviewed on June 4, 2009Microsoft's SideWinder X8 isn't the only mouse that can swap seamlessly between wired and wireless modes; however, between its BlueTrack sensor and its on-the-fly macro recording capability--not to mention a competitive price--we imagine few PC gamers won't want to get their hands on it.TAGS:mouse, gamer, layout, design, button, Microsoft Corp., games

Reviewed on March 20, 2007Logitech finally earns a CNET Editors' Choice award with this update to its flagship gaming mouse. An extra thumb button, an updated laser sensor, and more convenient and flexible customization options than the competition make this mouse easy to recommend to any PC gamer.TAGS:Razer, Logitech, mouse, sensitivity, button, weight, laser, gamer, games, PC
Reviewed on February 27, 2007Razer's DeathAdder gaming mouse is a powerful accessory for fans of 3D shooters and others who might demand a high degree of customizability in their mice. We wish that Razer had delivered on its promise of Vista support out of the box, but aside from that and a few other issues, the DeathAdder performs exceptionally well.TAGS:Razer, mouse, Logitech, button, Microsoft Windows Vista, gamer, games, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on August 24, 2006Microsoft's updated IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 brings a few gamer-friendly tweaks to the design of the venerable mouse. We don't expect that it will win over the hard-core gamer, but for everyone else, the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 is a fine mouse with only a few minor issues.TAGS:Razer, Logitech, mouse, laser, movement, sensor, button, design, gamer, Microsoft Corp., games, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on October 20, 2009Nvidia's Ion graphics chip gives the Asus Eee Top ET2002 better-than-average video performance for a Nettop, but that does little to spare this system from its weak overall performance and the variety of competitive, more well-rounded alternatives for low-cost video and gaming. Nettops might be competitive someday, but for now this category as a whole is a disappointment.TAGS:ASUS, graphics chip, Xbox 360, Gateway Inc., LCD, NVidia, Microsoft Xbox, keyboard, entertainment, Nvidia GeForce, games, mouse, video, PC
Reviewed on November 6, 2006Razer brings all the polish to its Tarantula gaming keyboard that it has to mice over the years.

Reviewed on March 26, 2008Eminently configurable keys and a surprisingly useful analog stick make the Cyborg Command Unit one of the nicer gaming pads we've seen, but it's still a matter of personal taste whether it can or should replace your keyboard.TAGS:pad, thumb, key, first-person shooter game, mouse, controller, keyboard, games, gamer, PC
Reviewed on December 5, 2005The Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Optical mouse has a 2,000dpi optical sensor, programmable buttons, adjustable sensitivity levels, a quick-swappable battery, and most importantly, no cord. But gamers who don't mind being chained to their computers should consider other, less expensive options.TAGS:Logitech, laser, mouse, battery, gamer, USB port, button, games
Reviewed on August 20, 2008Microsoft's pared-down SideWinder X5 Mouse is supposed to offer PC gamers a lower-cost version of its award-winning higher-end model. Instead, it comes across as flimsy and overly stripped down. Other mice deliver better control for the same price.TAGS:Logitech, weight, mouse, Microsoft Corp., games
