Our Verdict
Gigabyte AORUS M5
Logitech G PRO HERO
The Logitech G PRO HERO is a better wired gaming mouse than the Gigabyte AORUS M5. The Logitech is much lighter, feels better built, has a wider CPI range, and a lower lift-off distance. Also, it has much lower click latency, and while it has fewer total buttons, you can set a G-Shift button that enables a second layer of controls. On the other hand, the Gigabyte comes with extra weights if you prefer heavier mice, and it's better suited for larger hand sizes using a palm or claw grip. However, people with small hands may prefer the Logitech for a claw or fingertip grip.
