Customer Reviews:
 Mac users need third party driver to run this mouse well, 2008-08-19
This is a great mouse in most respects (and I'm not even a gamer); it feels sturdy like it will probably last a long time and it has just the right number of buttons. It also feels good in my hand and the ability to use the weights to make it heavier is nice.
While the Logitech G5 laser mouse does work right out of the box on a Mac, in order to be able to program each and every button to your liking, you will need a third party driver.
I'm using something called Steermouse ($20.) and it works very well. With it, you have full control over all aspects of this mouse including programming all buttons, scroll speed and cursor movement speed.
I wish Logitech would come out with their own driver for the Mac for the G5 but I'm quite happy with the thrid party driver that I'm using with this mouse. I love that I can have the top and bottom thumb buttons programmed to be scroll buttons. That way, I don't have to use the scroll wheel to scroll if I don't want to. This is just one example of what is possible with the third party driver used in combination with this great mouse.
Note that another third party driver called USB Overdrive does not give you full control over all of the buttons on this mouse.
I had a cordless mouse previously but the internal battery in it died after just a year. And there was no place to put my thumb when using it so it wasn't that that comfortable. The Logitech G5 is much better. I really think a wired mouse is better as you do not have to fool around with a rechargeable battery that may not last. I bet the Logitech G5 will last me years and years.
