Overall in our opinion it's less irritating than the G5, but in the interest of honestly, other manufacturers do much better in this department, and the Spectrum rates about as well against these other products as other Logitech mice. For some reason Logitech's setup utility doesn't allow brightness adjustments in the first two of these modes, imo it would be very sweet if they could add it in a future version of the utility and/or mouse firmware.Īs for primary button noise, the Spectrum's is higher pitched and slightly more metallic in tone than the G5's throatier and more plasticky tick. Four color modes offered are cycling (between all 16.8 million colors), pulsing (or "breathing" per Logitech's marketing) of a single color, steady on, or off entirely. In addition to a near-total lack of graphics, lighting bling on the Spectrum is equally sparse and appropriate: one "G" letter (hidden when the mouse is palmed) and three small (also color/brightness adjustable) indicators between the thumb and index finger. Nothing beats all black for stealth, and I'm glad Logitech understands a professional gaming mouse looks professional, and not like a toy designed for six year-old kids. The mouse's top cover and lights are superb imo. Now we much prefer silent (or close to silent) scrolling to the constant zip zip zipping of the G5, and getting through long web pages and documents is exponentially faster with a single flick of the finger. However, within the first ten minutes its wisdom became obvious. This is our first experience with a frictionless wheel, and I really wasn't expecting to love it. We use the G5 empty, so a fully loaded Spectrum is virtually identical in hand feel. Whether this qualifies as good or bad depends on your preference, but the difference in maximum weight is almost an ounce and a half (5.2 vs 6.6 oz). Or in other words, a Spectrum with all five optional weights installed is still lighter than a G5 with no extra weight.

The G5 however is substantially heavier: weight range is 150-186g, compared to the Proteus Spectrum's 128-147g. The two mice are almost identical in size, within 0.1" of each other in all directions. So now we have both it and the new Spectrum to compare. Pros: We're upgrading from a G5, which we thought was dying (hence our order) but it just needed a good cleaning.
