Impressive

They support screaming fast 20g moves up to 45 inches / second...and even higher, depending upon the surface.

Will they support 20G impacts when I throw the damn thing against the wall after I am fragged by a LAN hacker for the n-th time?

Yeah the optimus will be great for playing Duke Nukem Forever on.

This is a huge scientific breakthrough...

From the writeup on the new mice:

"The low weight of the mouse allows fast moves and zero inertia[....]"

In other words, they've quietly developed an inertialess mouse. The biggest physics breakthrough ever, and they're wasting it on a stupid gaming mouse. Quick, somebody call NASA!

Because two groups of consumers drive the absolute high end of home computing: the gamers and the porn surfers.

And porn surfers don't need a two-handed keyboard.

Full-Speed USB!

Don't miss the Full-Sped USB!
"The G7 and G5 are Logitechs first computer mice to leverage full-speed USB. "

Now checking on http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm , we find that
"Full Speed" refers to USB 1.1, while High-Speed (Or "Hi-Speed") refers to USB 2.

So Logitech are bragging about their USB 1.1 mice?
