Sensor Issues

The Logitech G500 mouse uses the same laser sensor found in some other high-end logitech mice. Many have noted that the sensor is prone to "hiccups" at high dpi settings, "pixel crawl" effects, and acceleration issues. All of these issues have been fixed with sensor firmware updates, the most recent being version 58.18.
