Logitech Releases Logitech G Tunable Gaming Mouse
Logitech has a new offering for you today, it their all new Logitech G mouse, the Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse. This extremely customizable mouse combines the world's first 12,000 DPI sensor with advanced surface and weight tuning to help you maximize your victory potential.
"I've been super excited to use this mouse in public, I got to test it and it felt great! Was super comfortable and just fit perfectly to my hand," said Hai Lam, team captain for Cloud 9. "Adjusting the DPI is super easy and very flexible.
This is probably my favorite mouse to date!" As with every product in the Logitech G lineup, Proteus Core reflects Logitech's commitment to putting science to work to help you win.
"With the world's best sensor technology, complete surface, weight and balance tuning and mechanical switches, we have made a mouse that dominates," said Ehtisham Rabbani, general manager of the Logitech gaming business. "The Logitech G team believes that when hype fades, Science Wins!"
Superior Tracking
Proteus Core features the Logitech G exclusive Delta Zero technology in the world's most powerful and accurate sensor. Combining a huge DPI range of 200 all the way up to 12,000 with zero sensor acceleration, zero smoothing or filtering, and zero pixel rounding, the mouse is designed to deliver unparalleled tracking performance and responsiveness, and can track movement at 300 inches per second.
Superior Tuning
Proteus Core allows you to calibrate the sensor against a gaming surface's unique physical and reflective characteristics, reconfiguring itself for optimal performance. This means you can achieve peak tracking speed and minimal lift-off distance on whatever gaming surface you use. So whether you prefer your mouse pads hard or soft, light or dark, you can get the best-possible tracking response.
To maximize physical feel and performance, Proteus Core lets you adjust its weight and center of balance through the placement of up to five 3.6g weights in the mouse. For complete control over your game you can use Logitech Gaming Software to reassign any command or macro to one of the 11 programmable buttons thanks to the 32-bit ARM processor controlling Proteus Core's onboard memory.
Superior Controls
While most gaming mice feature a monolithic key-plate that can flex and warp, Proteus Core has individual left and right keys that provide a rigid and stable platform, resulting in more precise, durable, and satisfying clicks. To further enhance feel, speed, and accuracy, we use mechanical micro-switches under every key. And our exclusive dual-mode hyper-fast scroll wheel has been improved to offer enhanced click-to-click precision and lightning-fast scrolling for the Web.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in April 2014, for a suggested retail price of $79.99

I don't want to comment on the button placement on this new G-series mouse until I've had a chance to actually get my hands on it and see how it feels, but that G8 thumb button looks like it is way to far forward. I don't know about you but even when I'm gripping a mouse my thumb does not reach as far forward as my index finger does, and by about half an inch. I mean look at that thing, the center of it is forward of the centre of the wheel! Similarly, that G4 button seems to be too far back. But, again, since I haven't actually had my hands on one of these I really can't tell for sure if I'm right or not.
That said, I love my Logitech G700 laser mouse. It's smooth, the buttons are awesome, and I have had zero problems with the software. I don't use the current version of Logitech's gaming software because I'm used to Setpoint 5.46.10 and I don't see a need to update it, and also because the last version of their "gaming Software" that I tried was buggy as f@ck and i just said "hell no" to their new stuff and stuck with the old stuff. New software doesn't always mean better software.

That too, the acceleration issue and sensor position made me not like the mouse
that's weird, I also switched from an mx518 (greatest mouse i've ever had) to a g500 and I've had no issues adapting. the only weird thing was that the sensor is more towards the front of the mouse.

I did notice the same thing about that G8 button, I'll definitely want to get my hands on it in a store before I make a decision.
You might give the new software a second chance, they've really improved it quite a bit. I like it so much more than the old SetPoint. The only issue I ever run in to any more is that sometimes I'll need to restart the software after waking my pc up from sleep, but I think that has to do with the LCD apps for my G15/13.
