Logitech has released a new firmware for its G5 Laser Mouse with 1.1 as the version number. This update improves laser accuracy on various surfaces. This mouse is mainly aimed at gamers and there were a number of complaints from this angle about the accuracy on various mouse pads that indicate that they are suitable for optical mice. The procedure to put the firmware on your mouse is as follows:

Updating your Logitech® G5 Laser Mouse´s firmware to track on more surfaces is easy and quick. To obtain the latest firmware, download the G5Update1.1.exe file. And follow the instructions:

Plug your mouse into the USB port on your computer.

Open the G5Update1.1.exe file.

Follow the on screen instructions:

If your mouse needs to be updated with the current firmware (version 1.1), the program will say “Found a G5 with firmware 1.0.”

Click on the “Flash” Button
The program will then automatically prepare your mouse for the update and execute the update. This process takes less than 30 seconds. During this stage, it is critical that you do NOT unplug your mouse or quit the program
Once the update is complete, you will see a message asking you to unplug and re-plug your mouse
After you´ve plugged your mouse back in, choose “Exit” to close the update program

If your mouse already has the current version 1.1 firmware, the program will say “Found a G5 with Firmware version 1.1” — there is no need to update your mouse. Just click on the Exit button to exit the program.

Your updated Logitech® G5 Laser Mouse is now ready for use.
