At Digit, we're strong advocates of gaming. As a pastime, a hobby, or just for kicks – gaming is a whole heap of fun and can be made more so by the subject of this review. Gaming mice are fast becoming a norm for err gamers. Interested in a dose of nostalgia? The G500 succeeds the G5, which, in turn succeeded the MX518 - the mouse that started it all. Read more
- Well built, nicely designed, lots of customisable buttons, customisable weight system, Ergonomics are very good, a highly productive mouse, Very accurate sensor
- Slightly expensive though not so for the price, Lacks wireless connectivity as an option, Needs Setpoint installed for most features

To conclude, both of these products are a very good choice for a gamer who cares about the hardware they use. The G500 is comfortable, the buttons aren’t placed in hard to reach places (except for the DPI buttons, these I found hard to reach when playing), and the pattern looks great. The G110 is also as comfortable to use, especially when combined with the included detachable wrist rest, and the keys are very tactile. Read more

- Its style still won't please everybody, We would have liked some extra hardware touches like ceramic feet or sensor that works on glass, Driver looks very odd, even wh...
